Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there is a mod that cycles the day and night cyles by time.
It got dark and i camped and it was still dark,so i camped again and it was still dark.
Does anyone know if the day and night cyle is based on time in the OC?
If there is such a mod can you kindly link me to it,please.

Most of the day/night cycles are on by default, this makes the day and night cycle automatically on a regular basis. IIRC, the average is that a day to night to day cycle in default takes about 20 minutes. As camping actually only takes about 6 seconds and the day/night cycle ignores this bit of 8 hour rest information, it's still going to be the same time of day when you complete a rest as when you started.
In some modules, you can shut off the day/night cycling, but even so, no amount of resting (as far as I know) is going to affect that to change the day/night conditions. That said, I am sure, as with NWN, You Can Script It! most likely.
Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck with a cycle that, while it looks Mah vuh Lus, has no practicaly utility as regards the resting events as a feedback to changing it.

What I think he wants is something that when you rest, the time actually advances by 8-10 hours as if the characters got some sleep.

Didn't The Fred release a pack that gave this as one of the options, taking the MotB rest menu as a starting point?

I understood that, kamal. I was pointing out that the rest event doesn't advance the cycle. And offered that it's more than likely it can be scripted. I don't recall any modifications or scripts that actually do this. I don't recall if The Fred actually did this already, but won't say that it he didn't, either. Sounds like "Check the Vault" time.

It'd be pretty easy to alter any mod to advance time on resting by altering the resting script. However, there are toggles on areas that effect the day/night cycle so that even if time advances the cycle may not. You can script these areas too, but often an area that's designed not to have a day/night cycle may not have any settings set for what day or night is supposed to look like.
Anyway,
DayToNight
NightToDay
SetTime, GetTimeHour+8-10
That's basically the functions you'd want.

Instead of messing with the rest script, a stand-alone script called from the console would a simpler solution. Either the OP just didn't want to squint about at night, or wanted to wait till morning for role play reasons, not necessarily advance the clock 8 hours everytime they rested.
It really should be up to the module builder, though, how time functions in their module. Sometimes resting should cost time, with a deadline looming, but in other cases maybe you should have to wait a day before resting, as opportunities slip past you. Sometimes time is something you navigate, exploring day and night just like different parts of the map. Sometimes the day-night cycle itself is the enemy you need to defeat, a spinning ouroboros dragon that must be slain and split into eternity.
Sigh. I wish I could Majora's Mask again...
