Hello all, i became from Bukkit and i'm new to the Forge.

 

I have little questions about world timing:

 

Is there a way to get total day duration? (in overworld, total day duration is 24000 ticks)

If not, it'll be a problem to use 24000 as a raw number?

 

I know that I can get the current day time by

(world.getWorldTime() % 24000)

and I don't know if forge let you change the day duration for a dimension, so I want to make it dynamic

 

Thanks for any help and sorry for my bad english :'(

sorry to say but unfortunatly the ticks per day is hard coded and cannot be changed

 

however if you write a mod that constantly sets the time to what you want you could simulate a different time period, though keeping the client and server in sync might be more of a problem

 

To add on to the previous reply, if every tick you add one to the time, it'll make time go twice the speed. 2 is 3 times, 3 is 4, and so on.

I played with this at one point and could get it to work for world, but could not get the time to change for only one dimension.

 

If you get it to work, I would be interested

I'll give that a shot.  It has been awhile so my memory is fuzzy, but I don't think I tried that.

Mystcraft has dimensions with multiple suns that can move anywhere from "so fast it strobes" to "half as fast as the overworld."  Its possible to go slower, but not with the symbols that currently exist.

 

So Mystcraft would be a good test case, though you'd have to ask XCompWiz if there's a way to get the duration of a "day" for his dimensions.

Thanks, I just wanted to know if "day duration" could be changed. So my code don't need any changes
