Setting the time for server restarts (Vilayer) help!

Recommended Posts

Ok so i'm in the UK and i'm after setting up specific times when the server will restart. After one of the guys successfully showed me what to put in the CP i'm stumped as to what time i should be putting in! I'm after setting my time so the server restarts every 6hrs, so it would be 12 midnight, 06:00 etc etc.

Ok so atm my server is set to UTC-6, the ACP is set to GMT+2 and the actual in game time is always around 6 mins behind real time.

Thx if anyone could help, asked the guys at Vilayer but they didn't seem to know haha

I would suggest simply scheduling a restart every 6 hours. Do 12 AM, 6 AM, 12 PM, and 6 PM.

Yeah but I wanted to put the exact time in the motd to warn people when it will restart. I have no idea what time the server is running at, if I put it at 12 midnight UK time it doesn't restart then.

Hello there.

1. You can't set pre-restart message @ Vilayer.

2. You can edit MOTD (like I did) with information when server restarts.

3. Remember that you can change the timezone of your server which affects the restart schedule - so if you set it to UTC+6 server will restart at 12PM UTC+6.

I am having the same problem as you are. I am from Alabama, which is: Alabama is GMT/UTC - 6h during Standard Time and GMT/UTC -5h during daylight savings time.

I sent in a ticket about the restart times and the server times in game. They asked me what was my time zone and I told them -6 GMT. They told me I was wrong because GMT is eruope time only. So I had to be -6 UTC, which I don't really see a difference -6 is -6 no matter what they think the timezone is.

So with me putting in -6 in control panel the actual game time is 1 hour behind my real time. But my server restarts never seem to be the same. I have them set in control panel at 3am, 9am, 3pm, 9pm and the server will restart at different times. Sometimes an hour behind my actual time and some times an hour ahead of my actual time.
