Lonestarcanuck Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 so I know its day/7 and if you have no remainder that is horde night. but players on a non modded server keep asking. so...How do you calculate horde night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kam R. Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 For those who aren't into basic arithmetics, there are neat lil helper charts floating about. Like this one: Many ppl have 2 screens or a phone, so just have this on the second screen for a quick glance - problem solved I guess. I think it would not be too much to ask of the devs to just include the day of the week in the date display and this would instantly be a non issue.

Guppycur Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 ...is dividing by 7 really a problem? Like, for real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedui Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 ...is dividing by 7 really a problem? Like, for real? I saw we force the player to keep their own journal of days, scratching a notch in the wall or writing in a diary!

Gazz Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 but players on a non modded server keep asking. so...How do you calculate horde night? AFAIK it's every 7th day on modded as well as unmodded servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 every 7th Day obviously It can bugout though when resetting / changing time of server in game. If you have problems with saving and restarting servers it can change the timeline. Then you have to calculate manually from the last horde. Would be easiest if there was some kind of visual or audio cues on the 6th day. That way it's not too much in advance, but you can still ninja logout to safe your stuff.

Prisma501 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 tried hard not to sound to mathy gameDay / 7 = x,y if y = 0, next horde = gameday if y not = 0 replace x by 0 days left until horde = 7 - (0,y * 7) next horde = gameday + days left until horde Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kam R. Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (...)I was looking for a calculator I could point users to.teach a man to fish not give them fish. So you want to be taught how to fish, to not have to teach your users how to fish and give them fish instead – and all that while other fishermen already caught enough fish filling up several well established fish restaurants that have takeout, wheelchair ramps installed at the front door and stunning 5 star yelp reviews?

Lonestarcanuck Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Basically what I do is ((current day / 7) + 1) *7 = bloodmoon - - - Updated - - - every 7th Day obviously It can bugout though when resetting / changing time of server in game. If you have problems with saving and restarting servers it can change the timeline. Then you have to calculate manually from the last horde. Would be easiest if there was some kind of visual or audio cues on the 6th day. That way it's not too much in advance, but you can still ninja logout to safe your stuff. (red moon 2minutes before start of horde night doesn't count) I think the evening of day 6 the sky is pink. on Day 7 at 1800h you get lightning.

Morloc Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Personally I think that after day 7, it should be 7 days +/- 5 days (i.e. randomish). Great fun! -Morloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullpoker Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 When the sky turns red and there's thunder and lightning, it's going to be horde night soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadamier Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Well, there are server managers that can do this for you, I saw it on one of them but can't remember which one. You'll have to look them over to see which ones. There's a tonne of stuff they can do besides this, which could possibly 'heighten' you're clients enjoyment. Edit <ADD> Found one - Server Tools look under the "Other Tools" "Day7 alerts: automatically receive in game alerts to the upcoming bloodmoon. Can set a custom horde night value" Donno what that horde night value thing is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonestarcanuck Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Cadamier - yes I know about tools like Server Tools, CBSM, Botman, RAT that all provide a day7 command. I am talking a server that has no mods thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
