OpenSimulator Time
OpenSim time zone and daylight savings behaviour is set via DSTZone in Robust.[HG].ini. It may vary between grids.
- {DSTZone} {} {Override Daylight Saving Time rules} {* none local} "America/Los_Angeles;Pacific Standard Time"
- Viewers do not receive timezone information from the server - almost all default to Pacific Standard Time
- However, they do rely on the server to tell them whether it's Daylight Saving Time or not.
- Hence, calculating DST based on a different timezone can result in a misleading viewer display and inconsistencies between grids.
- By default, this setting uses various timezone names to calculate DST with regards to the viewer's standard PST.
- Options are
- "none" no DST
- "local" use the server's only timezone to calculate DST. This is previous OpenSimulator behaviour.
- "America/Los_Angeles;Pacific Standard Time" use these timezone names to look up Daylight savings.
- 'America/Los_Angeles' is used on Linux/Mac systems whilst 'Pacific Standard Time' is used on Windows
DSTZone = "America/Los_Angeles;Pacific Standard Time"
