nocturnal eggs spawn/activate in daytime?

[agentorangeguy]

I just reported this on the bugtracker. It seems that nocturnally flagged eggs don't function like they are supposed to: activating only at night. Has anyone else noticed this?

[Dominus]

do you have an example in the game for this to check? Or do I need to create an egg for this?

[agentorangeguy]

Create an egg and flag it nocturnal, then go away, and come back and it should spawn in the daytime. It has done that for me at least, even with the latest snapshots.

eggs.cc line 729 uses:

if (!(hour >= 9 || hour = 20 || hour <= 4))


or slightly different to reflect the original.

Thanks for tracking this down. It looks like the >= 9 was intended to be >= 21 (12h/24h confusion). I'll commit the fix.

or the 5 was intended to be 5 PM?

would be nice to track down an egg in the original to observe, if it has any.

[Malignant Manor]

It is correct now (wjp updated again to match the night palette). The original and Exult see night as 9 PM (21) through 4:59 (4:59) AM.

one egg in the original that comes to mind was the liche at the shrine of sacrafice... but it may have been a usecode egg rather than a spawn egg. The liche would be there at night... possibly midnight only?

Those eggs are nocturnal eggs that trigger during the time period I listed above.
