Lag Test 3,000 TNT / With and Without Ptweaks (356MB server)



======================================================


About:

Ptweaks is plugin to optimize your server, by changing chunk loading algorithms. Ptweaks is also huge on ram reduction, if you run a low ram server, or just want the improvements; Ptweaks is for you. Ptweaks also stops crashing and lag from TNT, and enables complex methods to improve your server in almost every aspect. Running a 16GB or 512MB Server, Ptweaks is for you.


Testing:

We ran 7 large plugins on a small 256MB server without PTweaks. The server couldn't load chunks, there was noticeable amounts of chat and block lag. The server was all around unplayable. We enabled Ptweaks and within minutes of being on, the chat and block lag we're gone. Chunk's loaded normal as they would on a 3GB Dedicated server.


Features:

• Massively reduces needless disc usage
• Loads Chunks faster
• Priorities Chunk's in the direction your facing, To ensure smooth game play
• Keep chunk's loaded at a configured amount
• Chunks with higher activity such as a spawn, stay loaded to massively reduce Ram usage
• Limits Mobs and Animals to a configured amount
• Disable Mobs and Animals
• Check Current Ram being used
• Config file's for each part of the plugin
• Dupe TNT Packet's, So TNT will no longer cause any server side lag
• Add's highly advanced Chunk Algorithms

Feature Description:

AutoSave: Instead of writing every chunk to the disc every 2 seconds. This changes it to a custom time that you want, Default is 30m. This saves the server from writing about 9KBps to the disc (7 writes, 2 reads per chunk, on a 3 person server). As well as saves about 2 calls to deflate every 2 seconds. (per chunk)
======================================================
Chunk Persistance:
This is a fully custom feature, that can be turned off. It will change how long chunks stay loaded. Chunks with lots of visitors will stay loaded longer, and not have to render again and again. This adding lots of performance to your server. This works for people just joining on that chunk or someone walking into it, So a spawn point works great with this. You can change how long they stay loaded, and how fast they unload. Default works for most though. This will no longer need extra ram.
======================================================
Monster Limiter:
This is another fully custom feature. You can change it to a certain amount of Mobs spawn, or if they spawn at all. You can turn Mobs off and animals on, or vice versa.You can set a minimum mob limit and a maximum, That the server wont go below or above. Fixing some lag that can happen from mobs spawning or not spawning at all.
======================================================
SaveEdits:
When the server starts to save, It slows down the processes to normal speed, Causing the save to be instant.
======================================================
Ram Saver:
Based on how the Ptweaks edit chunk loading, Ram drastically goes down. With the added features, such as slowing down disc usage. You can see up to a 80% Improvement
======================================================
Chunky:
Chunks in front of you get a higher priority too load then the ones to your side and back. Making smoother game play, and instant chunk loading.
======================================================
TNT Edit:
This makes TNT only really have to load once, then it is saved until the TNT packet stops. Causing TNT cause no lag at all, Under 10k TNT, which it will start to give off lag. TNT packets are also saved, after the first and just duplicated so you dont get spammed with them, and causing lag.
======================================================

Im not getting the config file any help?

 

The upload was broken, it was fixed like 10 minutes ago. Just redownload.

 

You need to have ram.has permission.
It does not default to op
I have not added console permission yet

 

So you guarantee this reduces server lag in some form of way?

 

Can you PLEASE fix the issue where there are 0 mobs on the server after awhile? It is really ruining my server when there are no mobs at all
Using latest version 1337

Thanks!

 

After installing this and letting running it over the night (approx. 10 hours) my RAM usage increased from 360 kB to 600 kB while there was no one online. Why? :/

 

Still getting:

 

if i have a server with 1gb of ram will this still make it better or will it make it worse.

 

...
...
...
i dont get how the tnt thing is working .... but else cool pulgin

 

I think, that is because EVERYONE can use the command /ptml (as i said some posts ago). So I think from time to time, someone uses /ptml rm to remove all mobs.

(Btw.: Tested it on your Server. It worked!)

 

Ill add permissions for it

Should help, Our tests on 311MB servers are good

Update to the newest release

I can't guarantee anything
To many variables to make a promise

I have a server like this:

Celeron 2.6 GhZ
3GbRam DDR3
80hdd

Constantly lag when playing 10. Plug-in about 20 pieces. If I plug this postavsh lagscan stop??
well at least up to 30 people online

 

Will this conflict with NoLagg plugin?

 

We aren't 100% sure.
People have said it works fine, although i do not know how much it will help
running them both

 

How does this interact with servers running RAMdisks? If chunks persist so that they don't have to be loaded and unloaded, doesn't that make RAMdisk servers succeptible to Columbus greifing? The only reason I ask is, I'm running off a 4GB RAMdisk and we keep running out of memory and crashing, and I feel like, while this mod may be great for conventional servers, it will only exacerbate my problem. I've tried running this and NoLagg, neither seems to help, in fact both setups seem to consume more RAm, but I could be missing something. Any ideas?

 

Random. No in-game problem noticed..

Code:

2011-11-02 18:03:50 [SEVERE] java.lang.NullPointerException
2011-11-02 18:03:50 [SEVERE]     at java.util.Hashtable.get(Unknown Source)
2011-11-02 18:03:50 [SEVERE]     at performancetweaks.bin.org.jbls.mrchasez.ChunkPersistance.run(ChunkPersistance.java:147)
2011-11-02 18:03:50 [SEVERE]     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

 

No effects on my server : i view no change, no TNT config files in the plugin .

I'm disappointed . The only three files in the plugin have no effects and are not the most importants .

 

This has been discussed before, If your server uses Ramdisk the only way to known if it will have a great impact is by testing it for yourself.

I have noticed an error myself with chunks staying loaded. Ill look into it

It don't work perfectly for every server, To many variables

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

How can the plugin remove any tnt lag without tnt config file ? I do not understand ?

 

You do not need a Tnt config file

 

Really ? I did not know ! I'm less idiot now !

 

Hi, I dont enderstand config file of AutoSaveStopper, I have ths:

Code:

#interval: The number of ticks {1/20th second} between each Mini-Save.
#Sun Oct 30 22:01:56 CET 2011
interval=57000

57000 it's in seconds ? or other type ? oO

In default is set as 30 minutes, but i don't find calcul to convert 5700 in 30

 

20 ticks = 1 second.
20 = 1 second
200 = 10 seconds ETC

 

So, 57000 / 20 = 2850 seconds
and 2850 / 60 = 47 minutes ?

But 57000 is default value and not correspond at 30 minutes.

 

so he made a mistake. oh well

 

I realized it was better to change the default integer just a little higher

So that is how it is now

Hello, love your plugin! I've been using Performance Tweaks for a while and the new version has a bunch of new features that I love

However, I was wondering if you could add a monster limiter config that had a bit more flexibility per world. I remember the old Performance Tweaks would allow you to specify how many monsters you wanted per world. If you could add that it would be great

Thanks,
~eriorkless

 

Having an option to choose what mobs are on and off in a config seems possible

 

You are kidding, I'm a member of your server, and I run this plugin on my server...

I never noticed you were the dev
