day/night cycle help

Recommended Posts

Hey there to anyone who may be able to advise. 

currently working on a new server and we seem to be having issues with the night. ideally, we want to take the night out completely. Does anyone know we can do this?..... we tried doing the cycles but are not working. It is always pitch black.

any advice would be amazing thanks, guys :)

Find the file Config.cfg or it may be called serverDZ.cfg and edit the following...

serverTime="SystemTime";  Where it says "SystemTime" Use this format and set a time >> 2017/09/01/13/00 yyyy/mm/dd/hr/mins

serverTimeAcceleration=12; Change this to read serverTimeAcceleration=0;

serverTimePersistent=0;

This will give you around 5 hours of daylight and 1 hour of darkness on a 6 hour restart schedule. Play around with the hour and minutes to find what suites you.

I just released a mod that might help with that...

Install the mod on your server, then set any date and time from May through to September for a full daylight cycle.
