I am unsatisfied with the Day/ Night system.

[ss4terry]

in the game me and my friends only play it at night. so the night feature is enabled. how do i permanittly disable it? :icon_crap:

[chiccora]

I am not sure how to disable it permanently however I have a tip…get the server host to go to the server and click on control panel (I think) then change the time to something like 13 13 13 then click disable time....unfortunately this will reset every time you  close the server so the host must do this each time its opened. I beliee to permanently disable it you will need to do a sourceedit

Go to tiles10 and get rid of the blue square and the big circular thing. Just make it all black.

just set it as an indoormap

[Lam3r]

Make all your maps have the Indoor attribute, or go into your server.exe, and change the time to sometime during the day, then disable server time. (uncheck the little checkbox)

[Drummerpete]

Note that all these work but with mine you can still have time enabled and you don't have to make sure all maps are indoors.

why dont you just comment out the contents of the Night sub…

That would be far too simple, easy and more efficient.

Would only work if the OP has VB6 though.

Remove the blue square from Tiles10\. Nuff said.

[Sealbreaker]

```
' Executes every second, based on the server time.
Sub TimedEvent(Hours, Minutes, Seconds)
If GetServerTime(Hours) = 16 Then
Call SetServerTime(12, 0, 0)
End If
End Sub
```
replace the sub timedevents with this in your main.txt

-seal

[ss4terry]

thx for all the help. i think im just going to get rid of the blue tile lol thx for the help  ;D

[Robin]

Won't removing the blue tile still call the _horrible_ 'special effects' where it locks the DC and ROPs the damn tile all over the map? :|

Enjoy your low fps.

Wait.. Isn't there an option on the server to disable time? Which.. would stop the night.

Yeah, but then you won't have a clock.

Just set the maps to "indoor", it solves your problem quite well.

[IceCream Tuesday]

I guess.. I just don't see the reason for a clock. Unless there is features that only activate at night..  thats the only time I can see a clock being useful.

[SoulBlazer]

That'd be the best thing to do, unless you need to put weather in the game.. Otherwise, that's probably the best way to do it.

Couldn't you also just change the tile to the day one, instead?

that one would work and i can see what you did to it. every time your server hits 4 o'clock it turns back to midday nice

[Sealbreaker]

yeah, 1 minut to make ^^ it works…

It's better to use timers (not talking about the shitty VB6 timers) anyway, in my opinion.

MMORPG's, like Casino's, generally lack the visibility of Clocks or the general sense of what Time it is anywhere in the vicinity. If people are not constantly being reminded of what time it is and how long they have just sat there and wasted on an online game, they play for longer and spend more money.
