Is it possible to customise scheduler.xml to do the below?

Recommended Posts

Hello again Community,

Well my server is running okay doesn't seem to have got hot or anything.
Mind you there's only been one player playing most of the time (me lol).
So I must make a note to keep an eye on the temps.

I found the extremes of the weather a bit too much at time,
as well as the darkness of the nights!

And since this is my PvP server I would much prefer bright daytime and just keep looping and looping one day into the next.

So I thought I would try to implement a scheduler next.
And I tried to follow this thread by the community member mrwolv.

And I am working through the instructions and have reached step #6

Step 6. Inside The Bec Folder Look For The File Called "Scheduler.xml" This Is Set Up For 3 Hour Restarts. Go Into The Scheduler.xml & Edit The Line That Say <cmd>say -1 ADD MESSAGE HERE</cmd> For Your Own Messages 

I would prefer to re-time the schedule and this is what I want:
 

1. Start the game at 8am
2. Stop the game at 6pm - This gives me 10 hours of game daytime taking up 5 hours of real-time at x2 acceleration.
3. Shutdown server - maybe do a backup?
4. Automatically restart server (from the startserver.bat batch file which is already running?)

If I restart the server will it start at 8am again?

The reason for asking is that the idea I had in mind was to use these settings in the serverdz.cfg file for when the time is between: 8am-6pm

// Server Start Time
serverTime="2018/11/27/08/00";

// Accelerated Time (value 0-24)
serverTimeAcceleration=2;

// Persistent Time (value 0-1)
serverTimePersistent=0;


And then during all other times  
change the server acceleration from x2 to x24,
and back to x2 in time 8am restart

which should give around 35 minutes of REAL-TIME night which equates to 14 hours at acceleration of x24

after which the whole thing repeats 
but before the day starts again at 8am
I would like to return the acceleration back to x2

Is this possible?


Thank you.
