I'm not quite sure if this would work 100 percent correctly.

interval="172800000" = 48 * 60 * 60 * 1000 = 48 hours

<globalevent name="globalsave" interval="172800000" event="script" value="globalsave.lua"/>

function prepareShutdown(minutes)    if(minutes <= 0) then
        doSetGameState(GAMESTATE_SHUTDOWN)
        return false
    end


    if(minutes == 1) then
        doBroadcastMessage("Server is going down in " .. minutes .. " minute for global save, please log out now!")
    elseif(minutes <= 3) then
        doBroadcastMessage("Server is going down in " .. minutes .. " minutes for global save, please log out.")
    else
        doBroadcastMessage("Server is going down in " .. minutes .. " minutes for global save.")
    end


    shutdownEvent = addEvent(prepareShutdown, 60000, minutes - 1)
    return true
end


function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
    return prepareShutdown(10) -- minutes to save and shutdown before time configured on globalevents.xml
end

Will 'us' need a restart to open again right?

 

[Ninja]

Yes, it would require a restarter though.

Is possible to integrate an auto restart in console? Then we can enable/disable in config.lua

<globalevent name="globalsave" time="3:00" event="script" value="globalsave.lua"/>

function prepareShutdown(minutes) if(minutes <= 0) then
        doSetGameState(GAMESTATE_SHUTDOWN)
        return false
    end
 
 
    if(minutes == 1) then
        doBroadcastMessage("Server is going down in " .. minutes .. " minute for global save, please log out now!")
    elseif(minutes <= 3) then
        doBroadcastMessage("Server is going down in " .. minutes .. " minutes for global save, please log out.")
    else
        doBroadcastMessage("Server is going down in " .. minutes .. " minutes for global save.")
    end
 
 
    shutdownEvent = addEvent(prepareShutdown, 60000, minutes - 1)
    return true
end


function onTime(interval)
	if os.date('%H') == "3" then
		return prepareShutdown(10)
	end
return TRUE
end

This way you can set WHICH HOUR you want to restart.
Default = 3h (dawn)

It was already set as function onTime in first place, just replaced it with onThink.

Setting it as 48:00 wouldn't work, would it? Since it's only 24 hours per day.

Hey, thanks alot for posting here!
But is it possible to make it restart every 48 hours? I guess with this script its just
possible to make it every 24 hours, or am I totally wrong?

peace

Replace:
if os.date('%H') == "3" then

with:
if os.date('%H') == "3" and getWorldUpTime() > 24*60*60 then

 

[LucasFerraz]

It will shutdown 3h and will start around 3:03~3:05
getworlduptime() >23*60*60 isnt better?

 

[Summ]

He wants each 48 hours..

 

[LucasFerraz]

Ah, right, sorry :S

 

[Steel Man]

No problem, but still thanks for spending ur time to help me.
Does anyone have a solution for this?

 

[LucasFerraz]

Solution for what?

 

[Summ]

Replace:
if os.date('%H') == "3" then

with:
if os.date('%H') == "3" and getWorldUpTime() > 24*60*60 then

In case you didn't see..
