Setting a world to Day 1 without Rollback?

[CryRaine]

I was wondering if it was possible to change the day of a game back to Day 1 without having to rollback.
I was making a type of game in the world similar to the Hunger Games but I want to have it seem fresh when a player spawns instead of having a messed up day counter due to building the world for a long time, including things like hound attacks becoming stronger when I want them to be weak on the first appearance, etc.
Rolling back would reset the progress of building.

Is it possible to set the world to Day 1 without having to rollback?

You mean keep the progress but make it look like it's day 1 while it isn't?

I think he meant so.

You could try:

- removing all 0000000xxx files (where xxx stand for days, for example 0000000864) except last one from Master\save\session\xxxx (where xxxx is a folder that is created automatically, for example F22593DE81938B8E) and rename the last file as 0000000001 (for example 0000000864 would be renamed to 0000000001)
- do the same step mentioned above but for Caves folder
- remove all the folders with players profiles (KU_xxx if got encode_user_path set to false or ... forgot the other format..) from the two folders I mentioned above (for Master and Caves)

The world should, in theory at least as I haven't tested this, be at day 1 without loosing any progress, only the players' progress would be reset.

Make a copy of the files and folders and give it a try and reply back.

the solution above won't work since the day count isn't based on the name of a saved session, you can have multiple saves for one day

enter this in your console:

local clock = TheWorld.net.components.clock local data = clock:OnSave() data.cycles = 0 clock:OnLoad(data)

as a custom console command:

function c_setday(day)
	local clock = TheWorld.net.components.clock
	local data = clock:OnSave()
	data.cycles = day - 1
	clock:OnLoad(data)
end

I had my doubts that the world count would be reset to 1 by renaming a file, but the idea behind what I suggested is that it would, in theory at least, keep the world progress as is and just reset players progress.

Thanks for the code!
