JEDI Comport

Im not sure who runs the server, but I was wondering if we could put a time limit on the server so it would be night when night comes. Maybe we've tried this in the past, but I dont know. What do you all think?

That'd be great if you were in the middle of something and the server changed maps without warning :/
I wouldn't be for that that. There's nothing wrong with the way it's done already.

Yeh from what i gather this has been tried before but it brought with it some complications, including what Nivek said. It worked out better to have it changed by an admin in the end.

Ah I didnt think of that oh well.

I am fairly sure that the next version of RPmod will include a clock that reads the current server time according to Eastern Standard Time (as this is our Galactic time), so hopefully this assists the non-EST admins with the map change.

An in game clock with the rp date added as well would be pretty useful.

Already in progress, there should be a thread in this forum somewhere discussing auto-switching maps.

I think having a map change to night version at the appropriate EST time would be a good idea. A lot of the time (no offense) some admin forget to change it or none are present to do it.

My suggestion would be (if possible) to have Automatic server messages like so:
30 minute Warning: "It's getting darker outside"
Then a 15 minute Warning: "It will be sundown shortly"
Then a 1 minute Warning: "The Academy lights turn on.."

That way people have PLENTY notice if they happened to miss the 30 minute warning. People would not have their RP interrupted without warning and players would know not to engage in heavy spars when there is only one minute left.

I like that idea Vantus.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Soh:

I'm pretty sure that the auto-change map feature has been added into 0.4.0 already. I suggested this very idea to him once, and he told me that it was already taken care of, so a time limit wouldn't be necessary.

Will we need this when we'll be no more using a2 map?

Actually, Corinth, it is STILL planned for 0.4.0 as I haven't had the time do to it yet .

Aayla, for the moment this only applies to the A2 map indeed, I don't know if there will be a night version of the Mon Cal map...
