Siege Defense: Raid Windows

V Rising does not have a “Magic Shield” or plugin that detects if a player is offline. Instead, fairness is enforced via Raid Windows. By restricting the hours in which a Siege Golem can be summoned, you ensure that players only need to defend their castles during specific, predictable times of the day.

Schedule Configuration

You can define separate windows for Weekdays and Weekends in ServerGameSettings.json.

​
1. Weekday Schedule

"VSCastleWeekdayTime": {
  "StartHour": 18,
  "EndHour": 22,
  "TimeZone": "Local"
}
Effect: Castles are invulnerable Monday-Friday, except between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM.

​
2. Weekend Schedule

"VSCastleWeekendTime": {
  "StartHour": 16,
  "EndHour": 23,
  "TimeZone": "Local"
}
Effect: A wider window is opened on Saturday and Sunday.

​
Golem Durability

To further discourage “easy” raids, you can buff the Siege Golem mechanics:
  • SiegeWeaponHealth: Set to High to make Golems harder to destroy.
  • CastleSiegeTimer: Increase this value (in seconds) to extend the “Announcement” phase. If set to 300, the entire server gets a 5-minute warning that a Golem has been placed on the map before it can throw its first punch.
