[Release]Server Time PHP

[-DefaulT]

Tired of this error?

ERROR: Cannot reach time server, reverting to local time

Here is a simple fix.

Following my Guide to Compiling

Open the server source. Navigate to org.pokenet.server.feature > TimeService.java

Find the comment in the source:

/*
			 * Parses time from a common server.
			 * The webpage should just have text (no html tags) in the form:
			 * DAY HOUR MINUTES
			 * where day is a number from 0 - 6
			 */

Below that will be a code, something like

URL url = new URL("http://pokedev.org/time.php");

Simply take the php code below, put it into your web server and put the url of the php into the code above.

Ex.

URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1/time.php");

Since its on your server, your the only one actually connecting to it when you start your server, so local host will suffice.

Simply save TimeService.java and compile the server.

Gl

TimeService PHP

<?php
// set the default timezone to use. Available since PHP 5.1
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

// Format for PokeNet 
// DAY HOUR MINUTES
// where day is a number from 0 - 6

// Prints something like: 2 5 30
echo date('w h i');

// Coded by -DefaulT for PokeNet servers
?>

Of course change the America/Los_Angeles to your time zone;

Tested and works, server wise only sadly. The server now doesn't debug the TimeService error message already, but on the client the time isn't correct, still. Fix?

Ill look into it, maybe there is something i need to do on the client as well.


I dont know why, but the clients time is setup differently.

As you can see, it starts out on 00:00, then it just +'s accordingly, then it continues on to change the daylight to the time. I believe this is because the Pokemon world time goes by faster?

welcome considering it is a game, the time would go faster... it would be nice to have real time day and night.

I guess i can recode it to actually read the servers time and go from there.

 

[Coolkidbloo]

Thanks but my client weirdly fixed the error itself.

 

[-DefaulT]

If you downloaded the client from my SVN then its already been fixed.
