How to set start dates of Item Broker NPCs (Auction)

Hi, guys!

I have a question about Item Broker NPCs (Auction) which sell different items on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. ID's of NPCs are listed below in code.
When I started my server, logs showed me this message:

Code:

08/20/2012 13:49:39.687, [.\DBPacketEx.cpp][2284] AuctionNPC[32322] set last start time[1970-1-1 6:0:0]
08/20/2012 13:49:39.687, [.\DBPacketEx.cpp][2284] AuctionNPC[32320] set last start time[1970-1-1 6:0:0]
08/20/2012 13:49:39.687, [.\DBPacketEx.cpp][2284] AuctionNPC[32321] set last start time[1970-1-1 6:0:0]

Where I can set this "last start time"? I got that 1970-1-1 6:0:0 should be changed to proper dates, but where? What file or maybe table in db? Thanks in advance!
P.S.: if possible, write with some example so that it would be easy to understand.

 

Nobody can help?

 

auctiondata.txt

 

I've checked it earlier and haven't found anything useful. Only this:

Code:

auction_begin									
	npc_id=32320								// giran
	auction_doing=1					//   (0: , 1: )			
	auction_week_day={5}
	auction_start_time=1700					// €  			
	auction_duration=300							//  ( )	
	item_count=30	

But where is here year, month and day? I mean to start the 1st cycle of the Auction NPC, for example, 27/08/2012.

 

auction_start_time=1200

It means that the auction will start at 12:00 (morning)....If you need 16:00 it should be 1600 (test it )

auction_duration=800

Auction duration in minutes


auction_week_day={5}

The day of the week...Probably 5 means friday but im not sure

0 - sun / 1 - mon / 2 - tue / 3 - wed / 4 - thu / 5 - fri / 6 - sat

You must test them

The auction is starting every week so you dont need to setup month or year

 

As you can see, the auctiondata.txt script is set by default like on official, but still it's not working.
When I click on "View auction times" in HTML dialogue, it shows me the real date of the next auction.
Here is the screen from Giran:


31.08.2012 at 17:00 - but it will not start as I think because last auction in Aden (20.08) has not started. HTML showed 20.08 at that moment, but nothing happened. No system messages have been displayed about Auction start etc.
Tomorrow the Auction in Aden should start and I want to solve this problem with your help. Thx. =\

 

check database table

item_auction

Maybe there is something there?

After changing auctiondata did you restart server ?

 

I haven't changed anything in auctiondata.txt, because there are default settings.
I'll check db table, thx.

 

I cant understand.If you want to change the time, just change auctiondata and restart server

 

The server must be up a full week, without restarting in order to the auction starts properly (as far i know).

 

I've checked item_auction table and found that all dates there are in GMT +0 time.
Start date in Rune: 1345633200 - Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:00:00 GMT
End date in Rune: 1345651200 - Wed, 22 Aug 2012 16:00:00 GMT

It means that in the auctiondata.txt script should be GMT +0? My server is in GMT +6 time zone.
I will try to change time in auctiondata.txt to 1100 (as in DB in GMT +0).
auction_start_time=1100

 

auction_start_time=1100 will be 11.00 server time

 

Fred was right. Auction started by itself. Thx for replies!
