Changing events

Is there a way to change my world from the Halloween event to the Christmas event?

@MathiusXII, the "default" event setting is that your game changes according to the current special event. For example, if you create now a new world with the default setting, you will have the Winter's Feast event activated for now, it will automatically be disabled when it ends, and the next event will be activated whenever that comes.

So, if you want to change your world to only WF, you need to type in the console (being host/admin):

ApplySpecialEvent(SPECIAL_EVENTS.WINTERS_FEAST)
TheWorld.topology.overrides.specialevent(SPECIAL_EVENTS.WINTERS_FEAST)

However, if you want to change it to default and have events change automatically, use this instead:

ApplySpecialEvent(SPECIAL_EVENTS.WINTERS_FEAST)
TheWorld.topology.overrides.specialevent("default")

 

Huh. Yeah. I have to run those commands every time I re load the world. It doesn't save. I hope klei fixes this

Not fix yet..

The simple fact go in caves, theses commands lost their use, so need to use this command everytime that I go up and down caves/over.

To those who are having the problem of it not being persistent amongst saves, the problem the 2nd line of code is referring to a variable, not a function. So to actually assign the value, you have to do this instead:

TheWorld.topology.overrides.specialevent = SPECIAL_EVENTS.WINTERS_FEAST

Then just save and exit your game and it will reboot your world as if it were in that event. You actually don't even need the first line of code at all, the game does that part automatically when you restart.

Without restarting your game, the crafting tabs won't get updated and will still be stuck on the previous event (as well as maybe a couple of other things), so restarting your game is just the safest way to make sure everything involving your designated event initializes properly.
