So, as you probably all know, time in WoW is a 24 hour thing that is based upon the Server/Client's time. I was wondering if there was any way to speed up this time so, say, 1 hour in current game time was 1 minute (like Skyrim), so 24 minutes would span a 24 hour cycle (or something along those lines) if at all possible.

Do you only want shorter days and nights? If yes, afaik there's a database entry which is handling this. Can't test it for you atm, but i think it was in game_events. Correct me if it was in a different table.
If you also want to change the clock, you probably have to mess with some code. Rochet2 gave a hint here: https://community.trinitycore.org/topic ... nightdawn/ (https://community.trinitycore.org/topic/12051-any-way-to-set-always-daynightdawn/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

Thanks, I'll have a look at the Game_event entry as it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for.

Time speed exactly is handled by client side
some hacks or Machinima Camera Tool (which is basicaly hack too ) can edit time speed by editing certain address in memory i gues it
and if I am correct time is on these addreses
TimeMinutes = 0x00D37F98
TimeHours = 0x00D37F9C
TimeSpeed = 0x00D37FC8

Looks like the Game_event doesn't visually change anything in game (which isn't the desired effect I was going for), so I'll take a look at doing what Rochet2 said, considering I haven't the first clue what I'm supposed to do with this memory editing thing.

Pick up TimeaScale Address and Start WoW
Start CheatEngine add Adress manualy insert Time Scale Address ( use float variable ) and you'll that constant speed is 0.16 or similiar number i dont rly remember it now so just change time speed to for example 5 and you have it time was changed so that constatnt time that will be there once you load it needs to be bigegr if you want to have 1 sec equal to one minute and after all i would recomed to write program that would change time for you
Aaaand if you want to change this time permanetly you can try to find this constant time in wow.exe and change the number izi pizi lemon squzi
here is MLG video Tut ( just fun parody but it rly works )
MLG made in 20 mins not a big deal

Are you sure that it's only clientside? I'm pretty sure i saw someone else asking the same question and he got it working by changing something in the database. Maybe i'll find the thread, give me some time.
-
I dont know if its only client only to asure you but i know that you can just change client time scale manualy
-
I doubt this can be simply achieved by databases, while both client and server side times are being taken from local system time (Time.Now?)
Btw, game_event is for something entirely else, that table has nothing to do with this. Its basically just for timed periodical database scripts for spawns and a few other things, but doesn't touch time at all, it just uses it.
-
As fare I know this is controled by servertime. Try to change the servertime and have a look waht client displays. If then you can change it in core.
-
Client can use Server Time or Local Time so there could be problem if you would like to change tiem for everyone since some of them could have setuped local time which is theirs PC

But that's already what happens: there is a server defined time of day. You can easily notice that by logging into Beta from EU: ingame time of day will be US time of day.
-
You can change the clock time that is sent from server to client and you can separately alter the speed of time passing.
It will control the sun rising and setting and the lighting like lamps etc.
It looks fun when the world goes fast.
In TC see Player::SendInitialPacketsBeforeAddToMap
sending of SMSG_LOGIN_SETTIMESPEED packet.
in player.cpp
both can be done in the same packet.
There might be another packet that updates the time or something. Search "time" in opcodes.cpp
