    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
    5. Edit Config's to your liking or leave default

    TNT is disabled since at least December 2010 and Pistons are only allowed for admins since they came out. I already know about the problems they can cause. Concerning the map... our map is 10gb, its pretty much been explored. We set a border to 30,000 I believe because some people made things that far. I know it is a lot but without losing anything its best we could do.

    We've been using the same map for a year now. And yes I am thinking into starting over in a new map and making the old one read only.

    Also I've disabled fire, weather, leaf decay, ice melt, etc...

    Tolerance

    To be honest, it might just be because of the time you've had your map. I am almost positive that getting a new map will atleast reduce SOME lag.

    Minor issue with your plugin, also had this issue with performance tweaks... Signs seem to lose their text after you walk away and come back. They don't reappear until a chunk update event (place torch for example) happens. Going to have to remove your plugin and use NoLagg until this issue is resolved.

    Hmm, really?
    Ill look into this, if i can recreate this on my test server ill have a fix very soon.
    Thanks

    No problem, really hope you do fix this issue. Same issue occurred back when PT was officially released and magically didn't happen again when I removed the plugin. Can't wait til you fix it because your plugin with the combination with nolagg makes a great combination of speeding a server up. One for ram, one for cpu. ^_^

    No more!
    This isnt a server help thread xD

    Ill get into testing now

    I am unable to re-create this.
    I have placed signs everywhere xD
    Left the game came back, let the server run for an hour still nothing.
    Walked away,flew away, came back, signs still worked fine.

    D:, if I remember correctly from my post in the original PT forums, which other people had the same issue as me, it had something to do with chunk caching and purging.

    I am unable to recreate it and i don't see anything that would cause it.
    Are you sure its not another plugin, because no one else has sent in a Bug report about this either.

    Strange.
    That is the opposite of what this should do.

    ok, waiting, it decreases the lag, etc.
    but in some places it takes to load the map as players go where few

    Mrchasez

    Well glad it started working, but it shouldn't ever take longer even on some chunks.
    Will see improvements in the future.

    The new update will improve game play / tnt / And able to check ram

    @Mrchasez


    Hello my name is Kane Hart and I'm posting this on both the current nolag type plugins on Bukkit. I'm trying to reduce my TPS mainly anything related to chunks loading and unloading. It seams that I'm hitting the cap my server we even turned our View Distance from 10 to 7 and helped a lot but I don't want to lower it anymore and I have no other options it seams.

    Here is a screenshot right now of in game:
    [​IMG]


    So after hours and hours of testing I know for sure 95% of the lag comes do to chunk issues. As you can see I have lots of ram and a lot not used though all plugins even bukkit has slight memory leaks so you gotta keep a good 4gig buffer. But I was wondering what would your plugin do for me and how it differs from your competitors plugin.

    Have you or any large servers actually provided proof or evidence or even benchmarks of the performance gains? And what makes it perform better related to chunks?

    Mrchasez

    Yes, My server KingsCraft.
    We average 70+ online during the afternoon and 50+ most other times. We run a Intel Xeon E3-1270 (Sandy Bridge 3.4ghz) node with 4 total processor cores and 16 gigabytes of RAM and see up to 25% improvement.

    Nolagg does great for CPU issues (way better then Ptweaks)
    Ptweaks does a lot better for RAM usage.

    Just read through all of the comments, on this thread, that is tons and tons of proof from real people running real servers.

    Wow you softlayer? You sound like you have the exact same specs:

    Server Specification:
    CPU: Intel Xeon Quad-Core Sandy Bridge E3-1270 @ 3.4ghz
    Operating System: CentOS 5 - 64-BIT
    Java: Java™ Platform, 7
    Network: Intel PRO/1000 NIC @ 1000mbit
    RAM/Memory: 16GB DDR3
    Raid Card: Adaptec 5405Z RAID Card with Battery Backup Unit
    Primary Hard Drive: 4x WD Caviar RE4 500GB HDDs in RAID-10
    Backup: Offsite Backup
    DDOS Protection Service: - (Hardware Based): Network-Level & Server-Level


    Would you mind sharing your config file that you use to optimize your server? I don't want much touch on the Monster Limiter since we have a seprate world and its hardly used. TnT is fine though most people don't use tnt anyways hehe


    Also if I find someone create a TNT yeild changer say 5 times more block damage I assume your tnt plugin would still perform okay?

    Again 95% my problems are just chunks nothing else.

    Thanks,
    Kane

    PS: Most my server is spread around we don't really have to many people 1 in spot.

    To make the tests run good, we ran on default. Otherwise it wouldn't be a good test.
    If your only issue is Chunk loading, Turn monster limiter off and Theaded saves. (auto saves)
    See if that works better for you.

    Just wanted to give you an update, my server runs fine and has 7gb ram free out of the 8gb when nobody is using intensive cuboids.

    Then at some point the ram usage just skyrockets and we lose 100mb per 10sec and it stops once 0 ram is left. So we definitively got a memory leak somewhere, gotta find it.

    Mrchasez

    Yeah that isn't good at all.
    I have never had a memory leak on my server so i couldn't really help locate it :l
