Exile Night vs Day

**KromMonkey** · 08-23-15, 02:30 PM

What is everyones opinion on the day/night cycle? By default the server runs in realtime and since the server does not require a restart every few hours like the other mods we have ran you get full cycles of light and dark.

If it runs full day/night cycles it should mimic one of NA's real time zones. I was playing yesterday in the afternoon and it was dark.

Prime gaming hours should definitely be day time in server.

I'm more of the opinion that we set it to 3 hrs day 1 hr night. And set "dawn" at 6 am Central that way around 7 8 and 9 will be daytime. Them we can set the restart at 6 am central and roll on

im with merrit the map looks really nice at day but a good hour of 2 of night is good to unlike epoch it doesnt get pitch black but still dark and makes NVGs useful

Try the time settings currently in place and post here your thoughts. Keep in mind the instance does not require contant restarts per the Dev team.

I figured one restart every 24 hours would keep things fresh and regular. I'm not sure how to set BEC for automatic restarts every couple of days.

We tried the "restart the server to restart the time cycle" trick last night and it does not work with this mod in its current configuration. We have implemented a script that accelerates game time by X% and is supposed to be configurable so that you may have time pass more slowly during the day then at night. I agrees with the 3 to 1 ratio, that is how we normally set things up and I believe most enjoy that config.
