Editing Opening Hours

In this guide, we will show you how you can

• Edit Opening Hours from Resort
• Edit Opening Hours from Ropeway

⚠ Opening times can now be freely adjusted on custom maps.
⚠ Since Update 10, the opening hours can actually influence the NPCs.

openFrom = 30600,
openTo = 63900,

This is opening time.
The times are calculated in seconds since the beginning of a new day.
For this reason, you have to convert the time in seconds. The Google-Converter can help you:

In the example the time is 1 o'clock. In seconds, that's 3600 after the start of a new day.
So if you want to open your ski resort at 1 am, you would have to write openFrom = 1*3600.
For the minutes you have to be extra careful, because the system calculates the minutes in %.
Here is a small overview for the minutes in %:

So if you want to open at 9:15 am and close at 8:45 pm, you have to write following:

openFrom = 9.25*3600,
openTo = 20.75*3600,

First you open the savegame folder at Documents/My Games/WinterResortSimulator/savegames and select your last saved “.lua” file. The best way to run the “.lua” file is with a text editor like Notepad++. Then you search with CTRL + F for the term “skiResort”. You should now see the term “skiResort” and openFrom / openTo .

skiResort = {
		maxComputeTime = 500,
		updateVSCount = 20,
		totalGuestCount = 0,
		totalServiceRating = 0,
		guestLimitCoeff = 6,
		liftsDt = 0.0945731997489929,
		facilitiesDt = 0.0327642001211643,
		skiersTime = 557161.037040693,
		avaTime = 0.155899899080396,
		liftRatingSum = 0,
		liftRatingCount = 0,
		liftRating = 0,
		slopeRatingSum = 0,
		slopeRatingCount = 0,
		slopeRating = 0,
		facilityRatingSum = 0,
		facilityRatingCount = 0,
		facilityRating = 0,
		weatherRatingSum = 0,
		weatherRatingCount = 0,
		weatherRating = 0,
		hungerRatingSum = 0,
		hungerRatingCount = 0,
		hungerRating = 0,
		openFrom = 30600,
		openTo = 63900,

Now all you have to do, is exchange the data with the numbers.

First you open the savegame folder at Documents/My Games/WinterResortSimulator/savegames and select your last saved “.lua” file. The best way to run the “.lua” file is with a text editor like Notepad++. Then you search with CTRL + F for the term “skiLifts”. You should now see the term “skiLifts” and in every ropeway the lines openFrom / openTo .

skiLifts = {
	{
		name = "Dorfbahn",
		typeDesc = "$map01_dorfbahn_typeDesc",
		typeDescLong = "$map01_dorfbahn_typeDescLong",
		from = "DorfbahnTal",
		to = "Mitte",
		uphill = true,
		downhill = true,
		depreciationPeriod = 3600,
		dailyFixedCosts = 0,
		hourlyCostPerCarrier = 5,
		dailyRentCosts = 3000,
		acquisitionPrice = 9320000,
		hourlySqSpeedCosts = 25.9,
		imgBackgroundPosition = Vector3:new(1510.195, 780.5609, 764.1901),
		imgBackgroundRotation = Vector3:new(10.694, -38.918, 0),
		openFrom = 30600,
		openTo = 59400,

Now all you have to do, is exchange the data with the numbers.
