Custom timeskip system to skip time how many hours you want or to skip time to daytime or nightime!

Better timeskip

Press the add/subtract keybinds to add/subtract hours to wait and press the wait keybind to initiate the timeskip. Input is disabled when waiting




Immersive timeskip

Press the keybind to skip time to daytime if it's nighttime or to nighttime if it's daytime. Input is disabled when waiting




Keybinds

The mod's default keybind are: Minus/plus buttons to subtract/add hours for Better timeskip. Backspace button to initiate better timeskip. ALT and F to initiate daytime/nighttime timeskip.

Open the file main.lua from the mod with Notepad to find:



So if you want to change the Wait keybind (better timeskip keybind) you do:
Wait = Key.F8

ModifierKey is a secondary key that you have to press along with the Immersive timeskip keybind. If you want to change it you do:
ModifierKey = ModifierKey.CONTROL

You can also disable it by doing:
ModifierKeyIsEnabled = false

Notes

Tested on singleplayer and dedicated server. Works fine on both so I would assume it works fine on co op as well. Needs to be installed on both the server and the clients if you want to use this with your server.

I suggest using Notepad++ since its way better than Notepad. Makes messing with all kinds of text files easier. 

If you want help, info on modding the game and your server you can join the Palworld modding discord server: Invite for Palworld modding discord  

REUE4SS generates a log file named UE4SS.log in \Palword\Pal\Binaries\Win64\. You can open it with Notepad to see for errors.

If you installed everything correctly you should something like "Mod 'Pause' has enabled.txt, starting mod." in your log file.

If the mod isn't working for you or if you have any errors you can share the contents of your log file on Pastebin.com and share the link in the bugs section of the mod.

To help with crashes open UE4SS-settings.ini in \Pal\Binaries\Win64 and set bUseUObjectArrayCache to false.
