- When you change the day length in minutes in the admin panel, it will modify the day length but it’s a) not the length one would expect and b) the display doesn’t update correctly. E.g. if I close the admin panel and open it again, it will always display the default value of 30 minutes again regardless of what you set it to.
- Elaborating on 1.a) at the default setting of 30 Minutes (1,800 seconds) with all other settings set to 1.0 a full day/night/dusk/dawn cycle lasted approximately 16:40 Minutes (or 1,000 seconds) according to my stopwatch measurements. This is a factor of 0.55 (repeating) of the time it should last according to the setting.
- When I use a mod to read out the DayLength variable from the BP_TimeOfDayManager I get 55.200001 regardless of what I actually have it set to. If I multiply that duration with the factor determined in 2) I get 55.200001 x 0.55 (repeating) ~ 30,6. It doesn’t match exactly with the displayed duration but it’s close enough to assume it’s probably not coincidence but rather some rounding errors.
This makes the already sparsely documented setting even harder to set up properly (without guessing and trial & error).
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
- Open admin panel
- Change day length
- Observe changed day length (not matching the entered length)
- Open admin panel again to see displayed day length is 30 minutes again.
