JonS Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 a.k.a. Sunrise and Sunset times. As part of something i'm working on, I decided to catalogue the actual sunrise and sunset times for DAAMASCUS. These times have not been checked against what occurs in the game, although I expect they should be prety close. I have no idea what lat/long BFC have used as the basis of their sun-moon-stars model.

Hopefully this will be of use to Scen Designers - and players, wondering just when it'll get light/dark Regards Jon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenix Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 After watching that table (and trying to imagine myself how hard for you should have been collecting that data) i can only state: HOLY S*%T! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meach Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Is moonset and moonrise the right way round? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 erm ... I think so? The columns could perhaps be recversed, but I'm pretty sure the info is correct. Not that it matters much ... in the context of CMSF there is bascially no moonlight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridley Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 For reference, a full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise (as it is on opposite sides of the sky) and a new moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, give or take up to an hour due to varied height in the sky relative to the sun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
