Welcome.
Question comes up every so often, not just UTime though.
Perhaps we should make a FAQ "How do I transfer <old server> to <new server>?"
I'd have to learn myself besides what /sv.db, /addons , /data, /cfg, and /settings might need to be copied though.

I know my old pointshop used sv.db as database, but I really never looked into it.

never thought what else does it store... what it is for real...

So yea, a FAQ on what the sv.db does/stores would be awesome + what stuff you need to copy over to the new server :P

sv.db and cl.db are created by Gmod, not individual mods.

  • That awkward feeling when you forget ur main login
How would one use UTime to broadcast (and log) when a player was last seen?

I ask this because a search for "Last Seen" came up with more Utime related content than anything, but a quick skim through the code tells me that it is not included by default.

Off topic btw, been getting a lot of internal server errors trying to browse the forums from my phone and pc just now...

It shows the player who joins when they're last join time was, it would be a simple modification to make this show to everyone.

Is there anyway to disable the box when looking at people? It never shows the details but instead stays black, I'd rather remove it - More so is it possible to move the box further up on the screen?

Yes, it's in the configuration menu to move it up the screen. To disable the expansion, you'd need to modify the client side code.

I've seen some questions on transferring but how would I go about resetting everyone's time played?

Thanks.

Well, you 'could' go and delete the sv.db, but there's probably tons of other important server and player data stored there.
But our releases section also contains an hour changer.
I didn't re-read the release post, but perhaps it could do what you're asking.

I'm curious why you would want to reset everyone's time anyways?

Hey, i have been using UTime on my server for a while, but for me and a couple others the UTime has moved to the bottem right of our screen, instead of top right.. as shown here:



And due to it being there, it is obstructing the HUD. Any fix?

It gives off no errors in console either.

LewisUK, UTime has it's own client side settings menu in Gmod options menu while in game.
One of those is 'reset' I think, and one allows position/color adjustment.
