Discussion Game time [Day-Night] Ticks

[Kara]

Questions:

1. Does 4 hours in real life equals in 1 Day in Lineage 2? 

2. Do game broadcast SunRise and SunSet upon night and day? 

3. L2J set to broadcast sunset every 10 minute (using sleep thread), is that ok? Or should be done instant with a threadpool Ex. 21:00 Broadcast night until 6:00 morning e.t.c ?

Nope. Just asked it from someone else who did though. By short i mean the duration of. As for example,it depends on server's time settings. I think yes, if server configured time is fitted real one, if not it would show day/night depends on what time it is in game.

Hi, in l2off (at least in leaked Gracia Final) it works this way:

1. there's class CL2Time that manages this, game time runs 6 times faster than real time so each game day is 3 hours long and night 1 hour long
2. it runs a timer each 10 seconds and checks whether day or night started, day starts at 6:00 game time, night starts at 0:00 game time
3. when that 10 second timer expires and night changes to day or vice versa, server broadcasts SunRise packet (0x12) or SunSet packet (0x13)
4. these packets are sent to player upon login as well

ok thanks, very informative.

So the 4 hours is perfectly. And i also added the broadcast upon login if is night only cause i believe broadcast SunRise when is day is not good since the default weather is day and the sunrise looks redish. So ill just broadcast sunrise upon day change only and new login players will just see blue sky.

 

The other question is whats the best option to broadcast the dark elf skill upon change. Currently i simply did a for and just re-add the skill to those who have it to get the new effect. I havent try if getEffects work. Any other proper way?

It's quite easy actually, p_hit_a_night pump is protected by a pump conditions which checks on server if it's night or not, and revalidated every stats recalculations.

Sorry, I wrote it wrong, time info is sent on login (not sunset/sunrise), it's part of CharSelected packet
