Saw that no one has included a mod that increases how long time actually passes aside from one extreme so I'm here to provide it.
Default Realtime Info
Time in Dying Light 2 is broken up into 3 different types: Daytime, Nighttime, and Interior time. Day and night are 12 hours long and interiors actually slows down time significantly. I'll list the default values below.
During the day:
During night:
While indoors:
What's Changed
Note: The values in the file is actually 2x more than it actually uses to calculate time. So the following is what they actually are in real time.
2x Time
4x Time
8x Time
Half Realtime (Everything half real time)
Realtime (Everything real time)
Files Changed: dw_weather_def.scr
Installation
PAK Version (Can have conflicts with other mods)
Drop into: steamapps\common\Dying Light 2\ph\source
Already have data3.pak?
Then change the number at the end to be one higher than what is already there.
Already have dw_weather_def.scr or want to change it to your liking?
You can open the scr file with Notepad or Notepad++ and modify the times yourself. I've placed the default values in the comment after each variable you need to change. The value is in seconds for a full 24 hr cycle. So if you want nights to last 30 minutes real time you do the following math:
30 minutes > seconds = 1800 * 24 = 43200
This is not compatible with any mod that changes "dw_weather_def.scr" !
Default Realtime Info
Time in Dying Light 2 is broken up into 3 different types: Daytime, Nighttime, and Interior time. Day and night are 12 hours long and interiors actually slows down time significantly. I'll list the default values below.
During the day:
- A single hour passes in 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
- Daytime lasts for 40 minutes
During night:
- A single hour passes in 1 minutes and 40 seconds
- Nighttime lasts for 20 minute
While indoors:
- A single hour passes in 6 minutes
- Day cycle (regardless) lasts 1hrs and 12 minutes
What's Changed
Note: The values in the file is actually 2x more than it actually uses to calculate time. So the following is what they actually are in real time.
2x Time
- Daytime : 1 hr = 6min 40sec | 1 Day = 1hr 20min
- Nighttime :1 hr = 3min 20sec | 1 Night = 40min
- Indoors : 1 hr = 12min | 1 Day/Night = 2hr 24min
4x Time
- Daytime : 1 hr = 13min 20sec | 1 Day = 2hr 40min
- Nighttime : 1 hr = 6min 40sec | 1 Night = 1hr 20min
- Indoors : 1 hr = 24min | 1 Day/Night = 4hr 48min
8x Time
- Daytime : 1 hr = 26min 40sec | 1 Day = 5hr 20min
- Nighttime : 1 hr = 13min 20sec | 1 Night = 2hr 40min
- Indoors : 1 hr = 48min | 1 Day/Night = 9hr 36min
Half Realtime (Everything half real time)
- Daytime : 1 hr = 30min | 1 Day = 6hrs
- Nighttime : 1 hr = 30min | 1 Night = 6hrs
- Indoors : 1 hr = 30min | 1 Day/Night = 6hrs
Realtime (Everything real time)
- Daytime : 1 hr = 1hr | 1 Day = 12hrs
- Nighttime : 1 hr = 1hr | 1 Night = 12hrs
- Indoors : 1 hr = 1hr | 1 Day/Night = 12hrs
