Map Refresh #1

Hello Friends, it's been awile...

I just ran my first refresh... I am on a Bluefang server and I entered the console command, but the way the console works on Bluefang, I am not sure it accepted the command. I did not set the day cycle to "1" as per the alternate way of restarting, and it's running the patch now. I assume it's bad news to stop the process now, am I in trouble or will this just take longer? What can I expect here, if anyone knows?

It appears that if you do not set your days to '1' as suggested, you must wait until your next midnight cycle. If anyone was wondering.

Ok so I went into my server all was fine. I stopped it, ran database maintenance and built a road using terrain editor, started it back up, and it is patching again now :|...

And now it's patching for a third time, which I am certain is not correct. Did everything in the instructions...

In the end it worked, but that took 8 hours!!! hopefully this helps someone avoid this in the future!

Set daycycle to 1 and animal count to 0 when doing a map refresh on bluefang servers!

the reason we ask people to change the daycycle to 1 (which is the minimum) is so that they don't have to wait for the next midnight cycle for too long.

Can use 0.5 also... 30min real-time... works well for me..
