Time of Day console command

[Blairgowrie]

Can some bright soul figure this out? I found the console command for changing time of day on M4Today but it doesn't seem to work for me. This was the command as posted.

tod []

I have tried tod [] and tod but neither seems to work.

The full list of commands can be found here: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Knowledge_Base&op=show&kid=351

BG,

I just tested it myself, just drop ALL brackets.

tod 24.00

GK

I am so incompetent! I still can't get it to work. I must be missing out something.

I bring up the chat box with the ` sybol and then > to open the console. I then type tod 09.30 and nothing happens.

Grrrrr.

Jim,

It only works for an on line game. It has no effect, for example in the QMB.

I just created a dogfight server on my machine, ran up a mission and then went into the consol as GK said and entered

tod 03.00 (the ">" is already there) and the screen went black, then did tod 12.00 and it came light again.

Hope that sorts it. if your testing the a20 / mossie mission, you will have to try it as an online game.

Cheers

Colin

It was the A20 Mossie Mission I was trying to change Colin which, as you know is a coop. Is that what you mean by an on line game? Also, if you do not enter > the console does not open. I had this sucker working a couple of weeks ago but now when I try it, it won't work.

[Blairgowrie]

It still ain't doing it.

[GreyKnight]

Bring up the console for real with SHIFT+TAB and then type it without the greater than sign, then SHIFT+TAB back to the game.

That's what I did.

[Blairgowrie]

You mean like this? Same result.

[Blairgowrie]

I thought it might be a problem associated with the 352nd September update so I tried it on my back up computer. Can't get it to work there either. That makes me think it is something I am doing wrong.

That all looks like a friggin workup BG. I'd just open it in FMB and change it in descriptions/conditions. 1 min tops.

[Blairgowrie]

The beauty of doing it through the console Kling is when you are hosting, you can change the light on the fly without disconnecting everyone.

[Friar]

you ned the the dot between the time i.e tod 12.00

[Blairgowrie]

I have tried every combination I can think of but the light does not change. Must be something porked.

[Blairgowrie]

Almost a full page and I just found out you can't change mission time in a Coop. Only through QMT or FMB.

Thanks for helping me figure this out guys.
