Day Length Setting?

[Jemrada]

I am tring to set my world Day length. I set it to 28800 thinking this would allow a 1 year process in a real 8 hour day, but it doesn't seem to be right. It seems that in around 8 to 16 hours only 3 game days have passed.


300 = 5 real mins.

So there are 12, 5 minutes in an hour. Meaning in a 8 hour day that would be 96, 5 minutes, then that would mean 300 x 96 = 28800. Is this correct?

um, not quite following your intentions with the maths there :]

you want 1 game year to take 8 hours right?

8 hours is 8 x 60 minutes = 480 minutes
theres 365 gamedays in the year, so for a year = 8 hours you'd want each gameday to take 480 minutes / 365 days = 1.31 minutes.

1.31 minutes = 79 seconds (give or take)

so the day length setting should be 79

oh ok, I misunderstood how the secounds were being used. Thanks again Mit.

300 = 5 mins messed me up. I thought 600 = 10 minutes but the less the number the faster it is. I see now. Just misunderstood the manual. Again
