Default Re: MP: Mon-Fri 12.00h UTC fixed scheduled host (game in progress)

I know that!

The other schedule method means setting a bunch of fixed dates, which is what we want! The GUI allows this by listing each day by name. I refer to that listing which is on the lower end of the screen (the first being checkboxes for pause-days, all should remain unchecked). If you click these, the game will ask for a two digit number. Click Monday and enter 12. Rinse and repeat for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but not for Saturday and Sunday. Finally enable quickhost. You can set this up anytime now. Thanks!
That was my plan. However, the system clock isn't set for UTC, so I had to check hour it was right now.

Your host system is set to UTC. No corrections needed.
Actually, it's not, although I can tell it to regurgitate what it thinks UTC is using date -u. I had no idea if it was correct, though.

Don't worry about it. I wasn't really listening anyway. I tend not to ask vague questions like "How do I do that?", I tend to be more specific, and all I wanted to know is if the UTC time given by the system was correct...and what time zone this box is in.


TIMER ACTIVATED!
If anyone encounters any aberrant behavior with regard to quickhosting AND interval hosting, let me know immediately.

Have a nice game, and try not to get gruesomely killed.
