Enables server operators to schedule recurring Events.

Installation

• Install HookDOTS.
• Install VampireCommandFramework.
• Extract EventScheduler.dll into (VRising folder)/BepInEx/plugins.

Scheduling an event

An Event is really just a series of chat commands to be executed on a schedule.

Events are set up in BepinEx/config/EventScheduler/events.jsonc

Example:

{

// Chat commands have to be executed by a user, so we specify which user

"executingAdmin": {

"steamId": 123456

},

// List of all events

"events": [

// an event to reset shards every 2 weeks

{

// after you've decided on an eventId, it shouldn't be changed

"eventId": "Bi-Weekly Shard Reset",

"schedule": {

// when the first run of the event should happen

"firstRun": "2069-12-15 20:00:00",

// how frequently the event should run

"frequency": "2 weeks",

// In case the event is overdue: allow running it late, but not too late.

// This could happen if the server was down/restarting when the event was supposed to run.

// If it's too late, the event will be skipped until the next valid time slot.

"overdueTolerance": "5 minutes",

},

"chatCommands": [

// a series of chat commands to be executed each time the event runs

".shards-reset",

".buff all rage 2h",

".buff all witch 2h",

]

},

// an event to give players a gift every hour

{

"eventId": "Hourly lumber gift",

"schedule": {

"firstRun": "2069-12-15 20:00:00",

"frequency": "1 hour",

"overdueTolerance": "1 minute",

},

"chatCommands": [

".giveToAll wood 9",

]

},

]

}

Configuration changes are automatically applied; no need to restart the server every time.

Note that all chat commands shown above are only examples. The actual commands available depend on which mods you have installed.
