New Year's Event

Devans83 · Dec 29th 2020

WC posted information about the upcoming event.

"Unofficial Servers can enable the event with the following commandline param: -NewYearEvent"

Is there a Nitrado how-to on how to go about activating this at a specific time after it goes live? I don't want my players to miss it because of something I did or did not do.

"Some additional notes:

This event can only be run ONCE on a savefile (with 2 triggers).

If a server is set to run the event at a time already passed, then on load the server will immediately trigger the gifts."

You are not able to edit the command line. However if the event is available, make sure your server webUI has "Official Event" selected. That will be the event if enabled.

"Official Event" is always selected on my setups. I need to know exactly when the event will be triggered.

DOAGEN · Dec 29th 2020

Moderators will not be able to provide that information for Nitrado servers.

You may contact Nitrado Support either by calling them or creating a ticket.

Thank you.

For those wondering about this, Nitrado seems to have put in an option under General Settings to adjust the New Year's Event. Would have been nice to have been notified about this option.

Pretty vague on how to set the triggers and up to what point they can be triggered. I have to stagger this at different times across servers. I need to know if the trigger can extend beyond January 2nd.

Another failed event that didn't trigger.

Please post if you find the solution! I have started a support ticket myself.

I just changed the timer on my first server that didn't trigger... it's not working.

We should all be seeing this countdown message, hours leading up to the event.

Event didn't work for me last night either. Very disappointed.

Video was easy to follow. Were you able to confirm the event worked on your server? I keep trying and nothing seems to be happening.

Devans83 · Jan 1st 2021

It never worked on ANY of my servers and Nitrado has FAILED to reply to my tickets.

Hello,

Nitrado Support also has contact info if you would like to call.

After server restart at 11:30pm EST Dec 31, the midnight event triggered on my server, however; end time was set for 5am EST not 12pm on New Years so missed the second drop.

Did you have to do anything else other than a server restart? I restarted the server around the same time and come 12, nothing happened.

I take it the event ran on YOUR servers?

No, I did verify " New Years Event" was checked, saved settings then restarted.

Interesting. Doing a web search looks like it has worked on some servers and not on others. I wonder if its a time zone thing.
