Default values (time/date/Weather) for the Editor

[tremanarch]

There is a time a date and the weather set when you open up the editor.

Is it possible that we can alter these via textfile?

If yes I had an idea that an external Program could alter these values automatically before opening up arma to the local settings. while time and date wouldnt be a problem, hte weather could need some fiddling, but It would be a little great feature for me

When opening up the editor it had the same conditions like in the real world here...

If you mean can you alter them by script, then yes you can.

Be aware though that locality can mess this up. In multiplayer, it's effects are local only to the machine you run it on, so if you run it on a player who is connected to a server, only that player will see the time change. So you say, well, I'll run it on the server then, but the server time is only sent to players when the join the server.

thx - I check this out

( my main idea is that - ArmA is able to have a full scale weather (just no snow) and time / Date set, so this could be linked with the real time ect - is a nice idea for me)

OK, so you want to change the weather and time in the game so that's the same as where you are in real life? Gosh, as far as I know that's not possible, but perhaps someone else better qualified might do.

no no your option is good aswell. its just i would like to have acheckbox when starting the editor: [ ] - real time / Date setting of you position

something like that. woulkdnt be so hard to implement. As I am often in the editor I didnt have to edit these settings all the time, it just would catch me ^^

its no serious thing. maybe better the thread gets forgotten. Devs have more important stuff to do I guess ^^
