If you need somebody to help you test, I don't mind. I've also got a dedicated server we can use as well if you'd like.

Thanks for the update, going to run it on a server and see how it fairs, good work.

Appreciate it. I’ll send you a friend request.

Hey Monkey, I have been testing on a dedicated server for a few hours, everything has been working as intended, apart from the vehicles remaining disabled after the event is over this happens using both settings the percentage to affect the vehicles and the override, a server restart resets the vehicle to a usable state and also using admin repair vehicle fixes it, but they remain disabled otherwise, great work with the MP update loving the mod.

Glad MP support is going well. Appreciate the feedback! I suggest that you disable vehicle malfunctions for now to save you the trouble of having to restart. But thanks for reporting this issue as it's something that I didn't notice. Will definitely investigate.

No problem my pleasure! If you need any support with further testing id be happy to help, i did notice that there was no end for the vehicle disable in the console on event end not sure if that helps

Yep, I know where the issue is now because I gave it a quick look. I plan to release the next bug fix patch on Thursday, if all goes well.

Nice!, il look forward to it.

Deleted my last reply, was mistaken.
I ended up not being able to enable the mod due to it being stuck on downloading in the dedicated server. I can send you some logs if you are interested, not sure if its directly related to your mod or not to be honest.

Also just an update i ended up getting it working, was just steam being weird with the downloading process

Multiplayer is only reliably working on dedicated server.
Coop games (through menu's host) is a bit wonky and I don't recommend using this as there's issue with syncing and persistency.

If you set up Multiplayer, set SaveWorldEveryMinutes to not be 0 in the server.ini file to make sure that data is persisted between server restarts. If this is set to 0, and the server restarts mid-darkness, upon loading, there won't be darkness event scheduled.

Please leave feedback as I couldn't test with multiple people. The MP compatibility effort depends on constructive feedback.


pauseempty MUST be TRUE

I'm adding your mod to my server right now but just curious what a good number you would recommend for set SaveWorldEveryMinutes?

Great mod, but no way to test it first
I looked at your code and can't find a function that can be started manually
many local functions
Maybe you can consider adding some commands with this mod

Hello Monkey,

I'm currently playing in my own dedicated server hosted with GTXGaming but looking at the logs this error shows up and I haven't seen any darkness event.
