    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.
    ======================================================
    Installation:
    1. Download Ptweaks
    2. Stop your server
    3. Put Ptweaks.jar in your Plugins directory
    4. Start Your Server

    Great job! I'm glad to see you sticking up for yourself against the old NoLag developer. Anyways, the plugin sounds great, but my server runs 5G's of RAM so we shall be okay for now. Keep working on it!
     
  4. I downloaded it, my server works a lot better now.
    I host small private server for friends only. NoLagg + This plugin -> victory!

    thank you!

    I am using CraftBukkitUpToDate and it gives me this message :
    08:02:18 [INFOS] No source for Ptweaks.jar ask the Author to add it to dev.bukkit.org
    Would it be possible to include PTweaks in dev.bukkit.org to be notified about each new releases ? It would be very nice.

  8. Brilliant!

    This plugin really does work wonders on our server. Infact is so good that we now no longer find any need what so ever to reboot unless for maintenence.

    We run a 1800+ 4gb ram with solidstate drive, before we had serever lag after about 4 hours of gameplay and block lagg when placing and after 40 players.

    We have had our server running with full uptime since the install of ptweaks, i admit to changing some of the config tho as its wasnt suitable. i think the tick timing is very slightly too fast on recall so increaasing the figure worked great.

    Im not being paid to say this but i severely recommend this is used by all servers like mine.

    Thanks for your work on this plugin.

    /\
    i forgot to mention our up time is now 5 days, approx 55 players, no lag, no reboots.

    Cpu is on a constant increase of about 3% which is no problem for a quad core xeon.

    Hello Mrchasez,

    my buddy and me have some problems with your Ptweak Plugin,

    1. The Ram saving Module said that everytime 95% of total RAM are used no matter how much RAM is given to the Server. That can´t be possible.

    2. The AutoSave Module dosn´t work no matter how small or big the intervall is the server is still saving.

    The onliest thing that works is your Monster Limiter Module.

    Hope you can fix the problems.

    This does great to reduce the amount of ram, You may be reading the Ram readings wrong.
    Again your mistaken.

    QRS%

    Hey!

    I'm running a server with the setup:

    Intel Xeon
    768 MB Ram
    We're around 8-10 players

    I got these plugins:

    Essentials (all)
    Wedit
    VoxelSniper

    I use the Ptweaks aswell but I can't see any improving at all, sometimes I get crashes because of no RAM.

    What should I do?
    Thx

    So Unused = Used, why does it then say Free / Total?

    Almost a great Plugin Special Thx to Mrchasez never seen a plugin like that wich help you so much with the Ram usage....here an example from my server.

    16Gb Server with pretty sweet CPU
    Without Ptweaks:
    25/80 Players
    about 3.5GB RAM
    10-15% CPU usage

    With awesome PTweaks:
    30/80
    abou 1.8GB
    5-7% CPU usage

    Does i have to say more?

    I've deleted your... argument in favor of leaving it in place because it's quite honestly not productive or helpful for anyone to have to see it.

    If you have issues which the two of you need to work out consider a private message instead of a public flame war; and if you need more assistance even then you are welcome to invite a moderator or myself to the conversation to mediate.

    Please do not continue this sort of arguing in the future.
