Interesting, Is this togglable? Can you also possibly record a GIF of the transition? Quite Curious on how it looks.

Could this potentially be based on server time instead so all players have the same day/night cycle ?

It is togglable, along with making it day-only. I'll try to get a time-lapse video done to show it off.

I think this would be a good option, but I personally like it tied to my local time so I think having both available is good. I've also considered looking into more of the lore of osrs to see if there is any mentions of the length of the day or time on Gielinor and possibly using that.

I would say that it shouldn't be based on your local time (or rather, the time system it uses should be configurable).

Many people only play during very specific hours, so it would get very dull to see the exact same lighting every time you play.

As well as a way to make the days longer/shorter.
It's also important that this doesn't affect areas in caves.

That problem would occur whether it was based on local time or UTC. I'm adding options for Local, UTC, and Random.

I have already started on the ability to set the amount of cycles per 24 hours 👍
As for the caves, this is built off of the existing lighting/shadows so there's no reason for that to happen.

I think that adding an option to set a timezone ( local time + Timezone offset) for the day-night cycle to go off of would be quite nice. You could set the timezone to where there's still light if you only play during the night. This would be a nice way to stop yourself from grinding for too long into the night if the sunset in game came out to be 2-3 am your local time. Day-Night cycle is an awesome addition to the plugin. Glory to OpenSource!

I suggest adding manual options so you can manually set it to day or night time without having it cycle.

It would be nice if we add support for sun- and moonlight, so shadows can be calculated naturally over the entire day/night cycle (currently it just removes shadows once u hit a certain time).

Looks very promising, it was a feature that I thought would be nice and I'm glad to see it's in development here. I wanted to suggest perhaps a setting to add artificial light sources like streetlamps around roads and such to light the world atmospherically. Could be quite an undertaking but I think the idea has merit. In any case, looking forward to this feature.
