Hello
Welcome to this thread.
:) :tiphat:

I'm posting this thread because I need some help with the OMPClient module.
So, here's my problem
This "OMPClient" Module is really confusing. I don't know what it's for. It just seems to block all scenario controls and nothing else. Can anybody please explain to me what this "OMPClient" is for and how important is it for multiplayer and how to use it and can I still use multiplayer functionality without enabling it??

Thanks :) :tiphat:

Don't get me wrong, but this sounds like you didn't even bother reading the manual. Please do so first, most of your questions above are answered there. In addition, please consider checking Ren's web-page for the FAQ and installation sections, it really is a fast start-up.

I wonder why It's always night at Wideawake? Can I change that?
Just wondering :)
All other problems solved (for now anyway :) ) :)

I suspect that's in the manual/FAQ as well, but I'll answer anyway.

In OMP, the Earth doesn't rotate, in order to reduce the velocity of objects near the surface and make multiplayer possible without large laggy jumps. That means that Wideawake will always be on the night side.

No, you can't change it while still being able to join multiplayer sessions correctly.

Does it rotate or doesn't it?
(sorry I can't check myself right now)

I have reverted the standard setting of the Earth rotation in the 0.8 version, so it rotates as normal. The hack is gone now.

Only server administrators can change the MJD of the running server instance, so no, you can't change the current night on Wideawake.

D'oh, sorry, I was operating on rather old information. Ignore me.

By the way, is there really an OMP FAQ?
That shows how much I haven't been looking on the forums :D

Erm. Hielor is his nick, not ****. Please fix that in your quote. Fixed it for you already.

Yes, there is an OMP FAQ. Just not here in the forums, but in the documentation PDF and - more importantly - directly on Ren's web-page, which I linked already before.
