[MECH] (CB 1438+) - Extend Day - Make Day (or Night) Last Longer

I like this plugin, but i wanted to create something like "Minecraft Server Time = Real Time". So if it's 3 pm in real world it should be "3 pm" on our mc-server. So we need something like this (1 Real Day of gameplay is = 72 Minecraft Days. 24 * 60 / 20 = 72):

#Extend Day Control Configuration File.
#Thu Jan 13 14:33:09 PST 2011
day-days-long=18
night-days-long=18
sunrise-days-long=18
start-night day

Sunrise is there two times a day i think, when the sun goes down and up. I'd start my server at 12pm and set start-time to night and then it should work i think

yeah some one suggested we put our server to real time and i stared at him till he went away. im a night guard so i play mostly at 1 or 2 am and rarely during the day

lol didnt mean real time, but just a double duration day-double duration night, i think real time would be very hard for those not in your area. but hey everyone sets it up different what makes it interesting.

@mrgreaper
day should work now, that bug was fixed a while go. No raw values needed; the problem was a java-ism that since been fixed.

@axebyte:
I may be willing to add the extension of night, if people *really* want it.

@The rest talking about real time day/night
Its not an easy task, it would add lag, and you have a lot of configuration values to worry about. Are you *really* interested in something like this?

In the end, if I add extended night to this plugin you could just set it for long values for both day and night and have day long day and night long night.. that may be a better option and may be a better choice anyway,

we have ~30 users on our server nearly everytime and we couldn't notice any lag so far. so we can live with some little lags if they're not too heavy. we all come from germany so we are all in the same time zone.

I love it, thanks!

I will think about this, but I will not add "real time" until after I add extended night.

i'm trying to download but dropbox is giving me a 5xx error. hopefully it's just a temporary thing.

edit: it's working again.

Hmm, just noticed that ExtendDay stopped working on my system. Is anyone else noticing that on their server?

Btw... I'm pretty much moving forward with current builds of everything as they are released daily... I'm not sure when it stopped working.

No console errors to speak of.

Please have this work with the new Permissions plugin. It's supposed to be very similar to Bukkit's soon-to-be permissions system. I like this plugin a lot so I'm just trying to get rid of the plugins that don't use it so that my server directory is easy and clean to use with user permissions. Plz and Thx

I absolutely LOVE this plugin! 5 days and 1 night is my favorite setting atm

Good plugin, thanks!

To add to your already long list of "features to add", it would also be nice if this plugin worked with the Permissions plugin as well.

Thanks.

If i use this does my ingame Clock thing also knows that the day is longer?
(Clock = 4 gold bars 1 redstone)

nevermind! answered my own question

This plugin seems to have stopped working after upgrading bukkit.

My server wants to have 1 hour days and 1 hour nights. If you added night support that would be awesome

Running the latest build for Craftbukkit and your plugin, I don't see any default configuration file made on first run. This leads me into my second question, what is the configuration file called?

Would you also update either your plugin's name and/or it's connection with bukkit so that the filename and the plugin name match? I see it listed as ExtendedDay in Bukkit but this forum and the .jar are both named ExtendDay.

Is this working with the latest updates? I can't seem to get it to work. Also Azraeil, it creates the configuration file when you reset the server.

Not anymore, it seems. I cannot get it to generate a config file and I've never used this before.

If anyone could supply the config file (assuming the one in the OP might be outdated) and the path/filename, that'd be great.

Edit: The filename is called extendday.settings, and it goes in the same directory as the craftbukkit server file.

Yeah, just tried it out, extendday is not making days longer. Build 166. No errors or anything.

This is in active development, I had hardware trouble and am waiting for the AC Adapter I need to get to me.

Build 164 now, the plugin is working. I'm not sure if it was broken with 166, after giving some time for the days/nights to cycle the longer days started kicking in. The file definitely does not create on its own right now but I supplied that information in the thread already. Anyway, this is a very nice plugin, my players are endlessly thankful for it.

The file does get created on its own, please do not say it does not as it does unless you screwed up your file permissions.

No it doesn't. Your Noon plugin, which I have running on my other world, does create the config. But this does not.

Getting an error on build 210.

Bukkit changed some builds ago the get and set time functions https://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukkit/commit/1a6dd61f96918f8b6e47b47d2ec066e2938fa249
So every plugin messing around with time (even just reading, as DynMap does) gets some errors when doing this.

Build 197, for the record. Build works great on 196.

It dosen't work on build 211
it says (is it up to date) and then it come many thinks in the consol that i don't understand

How did you fix it without access to the source code?
