PVP/PVE SWITCH COMMAND?

[[102]]

i've been running PvPvE server for couple of month now and i have been switching PVP on only on Saturday 6-9pm, PVE during weekdays.
Problem is, everytime i switch, i have to restart the server. shouldn't there be a command to simply switch pvp/pve???
Even with scheduler in setting, there should be a choice of selecting which day of the week the pve scheduler to run.
or is there a command already out there that i did not know about?????

Considering the fact that both game types are so drastically different and apply different rulesets, no. It would break more things than it would help.

Still, multiple servers operate with this to limit griefing and offline raiding.

You're welcome. I'm unsure as to how to limit it to 6-9 pm then start protection again, but what i used on my server was weekdays baseraiding was possible from 3pm-9pm, and friday & saturday it was 3pm-11pm.
Maybe you can alter the settings below, it should be in the "InvulnerableBases.ini" as far as i remember :


[SETTINGS]
Enabled=1

[WEEKDAYS]
UnprotectedDays=1 2 3 4 5 6 7

[PROTECTIONTIME1]
StartHour=21
StopHour=15

[PROTECTIONTIME2]
StartHour=21
StopHour=15

[PROTECTIONTIME3]
StartHour=21
StopHour=15

[PROTECTIONTIME4]
StartHour=21
StopHour=15

[PROTECTIONTIME5]
StartHour=23
StopHour=15

[PROTECTIONTIME6]
StartHour=23
StopHour=15

[PROTECTIONTIME7]
StartHour=21
StopHour=15

[BROADCAST]
DoBroadcast=1
MessageProtectionOn=\n\n** ATTENTION **\n\nBase Raiding is now ENABLED!
MessageProtectionOff=\n\n** ATTENTION **\n\nBase Raiding is now DISABLED!

[DAMAGE]
ProtectedModifier=0
UnprotectedModifier=1

Since PVP is only on Saturday 6-9PM, can i do following?

[SETTINGS]
Enabled=1

[WEEKDAYS]
UnprotectedDays=6

[PROTECTIONTIME] <----- don't know which day this is but it was there in ini file
StartHour=0
StopHour=0

[PROTECTIONTIME6]
StartHour=21
StopHour=18

[[102]]

This will make it be protected ONLY from 6-9 pm. and PvP enabled rest of the time.
I don't know if you could do :

[PROTECTIONTIME6]
StartHour=0
StopHour=18

[PROTECTIONTIME6]
StartHour=21
StopHour=0

^ This should START protection at 0-18, remove protection at 18 = PvP enabled , and then start protection at 21-00 limiting PvP to 18-21.

I have not yet tried specifying multiple protection periods during the same day, but try it out :)

The plugin will announce everytime it's switched off or on :

[BROADCAST]
DoBroadcast=1
MessageProtectionOn=\n\n** ATTENTION **\n\nBase Raiding is now ENABLED!
MessageProtectionOff=\n\n** ATTENTION **\n\nBase Raiding is now DISABLED!

You could rename them to whatever you want though, this is just a broadcast message that triggers on the protection times.

[[102]]

yes, i'll try that out.
kinda confusing on below ini setting...

[BROADCAST]
DoBroadcast=1
MessageProtectionOn=\n\n** ATTENTION **\n\nBase Raiding is now ENABLED!
MessageProtectionOff=\n\n** ATTENTION **\n\nBase Raiding is now DISABLED!

so when protection is "on"... base raiding is enabled???

Yeah that part bamboozled me as well. Still unsure if it's right, as i haven't played myself for a few months lmao.

Haven't got any complains, so maybe it's right, maybe people got used to the times. Not sure.
You can try to rename them "ATTACK the other people NOW!" and "LOL, can't touch this" or something, then see what/how it triggers.

I suggest you add an hour or so, on a day where you are able to be there and test it. Not necessarily saturday.

yes definitely i'll test it and post here. thank you very much.

The two modes aren't that different actually.
Being able to hurt other players and their dinos and damage their stuff.
Being able to pick up dinos and players with Pteras, Argents and Quetzals.
Anything else?

Though these things are all set in the server configuration files, so it makes sense that you have to take it down to change them.
