Hey Nivex, love the plugin! I had an idea but I don't think I can do it with the config file, so I wanted to submit my idea to you in case you might want to incorporate it into the plugin. What I wanted to do was to deploy the bases in a more realistic way so that the difficulty would progress with the players. For example, have easy bases deploy durnig week one of the wipe, have medium bases depoy during week two, hard bases deploy during week 3 and then nightmare bases deploy in week 4.
I thought you might be able to do this since you have settings for the day of the week. Even if it was something simple like changing the material the bases were made from to make them harder to raid, but I would also want them to tier up with the loot table too. If there is a way to do this with the current release I would love to know how to do it.
Thank you!

Timed base deployment by week
heya, interesting idea but this isn't possible as a configuration option. however using a script from battlemetrics you could achieve this
send this as a console command on the week you want them enabled:
rb.config medium monday true
rb.config medium tuesday true
rb.config medium wednesday true
etc
I may try to use timed execute for this. I'm already using it for other things. I'll just have to convert weeks to seconds.
Thanks!
Merged post
So as I think about this more, I am going to use Timed Execute. I would rather the triggers came from the server than a web-based source like BattleMetrics. So here's what I am going to try -
- Start the wipe out by running "Monday" for easy bases for 7 days.
- Trigger "Tuesday" at 691200 seconds (the 8th day) for medium bases.
- Trigger "Wednesday" at 1296000 seconds (the 15th day) for hard bases.
- Trigger "Thursday" at 1900800 seconds (the 22nd day) for nightmare bases and let that run out the rest of the month.
Thanks!
yup, just make sure you include something to turn them all off to begin with. otherwise youll have to manually do it each time
Awesome! Thanks!!
