Description

Dynamic Day & Night Time Manager

This mod provides server-side control over the progression of time in Arma Reforger. 
It allows server administrators to independently configure daytime and nighttime acceleration rates using an external JSON configuration file.

Key Features:
Independent Acceleration Rates: Define separate time speed multipliers for day and night cycles.
Customizable Schedules: Specify exact hours when daytime and nighttime begin.
Auto-Generated JSON Configuration: Creates $profile:GSC_TimeConfig.json automatically on the first server launch.
Server-Authoritative Sync: Executes exclusively on the server and synchronizes time progression seamlessly to all connected clients.
Minimal Performance Impact: Uses lightweight periodic checks to ensure zero performance overhead.
Configuration
On first startup, the mod generates a configuration file located at $profile:GSC_TimeConfig.json:

JSON:
{
	"dayTimeAcceleration": 4.0,
	"nightTimeAcceleration": 12.0,
	"dayStartHour": 6,
	"nightStartHour": 19
}

Configuration Parameters
dayTimeAcceleration: Time multiplier between dayStartHour and nightStartHour (e.g., 4.0 means 1 in-game hour passes in 15 real-world minutes).
nightTimeAcceleration: Time multiplier during nighttime hours (e.g., 12.0 means 1 in-game hour passes in 5 real-world minutes).
dayStartHour: The hour (0–23) marking the start of daytime.
nightStartHour: The hour (0–23) marking the start of nighttime.
Installation
Add the mod to your server mod list.
Launch the server once to generate the default configuration file in your server profile directory.
Edit $profile:GSC_TimeConfig.json to your desired speed multipliers and restart the server.
