animats Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 10:40 AM PDT, or 10:40 AM Linden time. Dark of night. Until last weekend's switch from Daylight Savings Time, Zindra was on a 4-hour day cycle, with midnight at 0000 hours and every 4 hours thereafter. Now the schedule is different. When will sunrise come? (Viewer is at "Second Life Default" and "Use Estate Settings"; I didn't change the local environment.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animats Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Sunrise at 11:26 AM PST. OK, who changed the mainland day schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser Zaks Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I think EEP may have went live on the main grid, which means regions are likely using a day schedule based of a EEP sky. If not the the release channel, probably magnum, bluesteel, or el tigre. What region are you in and is it a release candidate channel?

Syo Emerald Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Isn't the day cycle not a "real life" one anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the schedule is different. When will sunrise come? My wild guess says it was changed with midnight being the sim's last reset time. IF it gets set back to 00:00 hours it will most likely happen at midnight on Tuesday. All this is just guessing. It is always day time for me until I say it isn't.

animats Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 It's not per-region. Nearby regions were dark. Faraway ones on other continents were dark. It's like someone changed the SL-wide day cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Patch Linden Posted November 7, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 7, 2018 I just checked the region that you were in @animats, and it looks fine to me. I also hopped around through a bunch, and all look good. Settings are where they are supposed to be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Life midnight was apparently at 0000 PDT, so when time was changed to PST it changed to 2300. Blame Ben Franklin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Ben Franklin. Seems right. Now it's dark at 3 PM PST. So it's a 4 hour cycle locked to zone -7, Mountain Time. The SL servers are in Phoenix, Arizona, and Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time. It looks like the day/night cycle is tied to local time in Arizona. Linden Time is tied to local time in California, and does change with DST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Maybe look at SLT clock on viewer screen, multiply by 6 (6 cycles), take modulus of 24 (hours in day).. Edited November 7, 2018 by Love Zhaoying 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 It's a bit of a daft question for someone who has been around quite a while. The inworld day-night cycle never matched SLT. SLT is a 24 hour day-night cycle whereas inworld is a 4 hour day-night cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit you quoted were Phil’s words, not mine. I think OP thought there was a change relative to DST change, and somewhere in there forgot the cycle. Just guessing.
