Fragtard DayZ Server

[Engnr]

Na Duke, there is always a config somewhere, just need to find it. I guess I best look up to see if there is a wiki for DayZ server settings.

Thats strange because Sub changed the timezone 2 or 3 times during the first week

I can't find any information on how to change it but if he did it I'm sure there must be a way.

 

[Kenadian]

I finally found something here:

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/45063-problems-changing-server-time-with-vilayer-hosting/#entry428676

what you need to do is stop the server, edit the changeservertime.bat and set it to what you'd like, wait a minute before starting the server, and then start the server. In the future, please open a ticket on vilayer.com

blah iv been trying to work it out in my head and im confused now

at 3pm EST/8PM UTC we want the server to be at 4am which is UTC+8

however at 3pm EST/8pm UTC it was 00:00 UTC in the server which is UTC+4


I think....

 

[PepsiChic]

Duke does that allow you to set the server time or the time difference?

 

[Kenadian]

I have no idea. I've been reading a ton today about changing Server time and this Server Host and so far it sounds like the only way I can get this done is to submit a support ticket and be moved to another box which makes no bl00dy sense as the IP would likely change.

Duke , we are currently hunting for vehicles , but after going through most of the northern corner of the map we've come up with zero .

Is there anything known about a delayed spawn on vehicles ?

Mmm, I was too rethinking my original post..

Current time ingame is 3:25 AM, which is 23:25 UTC. So the current server time is +4 UTC

2 PM EST/21:00 CET = 19:00 UTC

So if we want it to be 5:00 AM in the morning on the server at 19:00 UTC = +10 UTC

But.. I wonder how it's working out with daylight saving time, as that's currently active. Will we need to remove/add an hour when it's being changed again?

[edit]You were right about that hour Pepsi, daylight saving time messed me up there.

 

[Wapwap]

...it's getting too late for this thinking

3 PM EST/21:00 CET = 19:00 UTC

isnt EST, UTC-5? not -4?

I also worked out the server at UTC+4

however at 3pm EST/8pm UTC it was 00:00 UTC in the server which is UTC+4

I have absolutely no idea?

I'm actually at work right now and very new to the entirety of DayZ so I don't even know where to look to get this info?

I have to know for sure as it's quite likely I'll need to submit a support ticket.

You are right about that, changed my post.


Oh ya, the server is running alright, tested it only with 10 people though. Pinging around 100 ish, so that's good. Do get an occasional red chain though. It appears for 20 secs and then goes away.

Ok well the server is coming up at UTC+4, we need it set to UTC+8...so we need the ingame server time moved forward 4 hours. that *should* correct the issue!

OK I'll submit a support ticket and see what can be done.

In the meantime I'm going to check out some files in the file manager and see if there's something in there that can be edited.

So it turns out it's a Server Issue:

We are currently applying hotfixes to the boxes that do not work with our timezone change script. We will update you once we to yours.

...so the moral of the story is you rent a Server from these guys and it's hit and miss as to whether or not it's actually configured properly.

Not the best way to win Customer loyalty in my minds eye :icon_confused:

Uh oh!

Well...fingers crossed its fixed sooner rather then later!

Its not something thats the end of the world so we'll make do till now!

 

[Kenadian]

Ya it's not a terribly big deal but it would have been nice to know upon signing up. I wasted close to 90 minutes today just researching ways to correct an issue that should have never been an issue.

Look on the bright side, you could be stuck with a third-rate provider like Wolfservers.

You might want to claim the server at battletracker, So we can get some tracking going.

As long as the server isnt claimed by anyone it wont keep track of statistics.
