admin bug

    • New

    hello, I've sent in a few reports now using networkstats in consol about our problem that mainly effects admins and players that they bump into, that problem is becoming increasingly worse at the moment, i have a rented dedicated server with 32ram and have no experience in operating a server thnxs for your time 8)

    well, say on a claim I can muck about all day then an admin drops in to see what I'm doing teleporting can be an issue because it lands you right on the other admin, new players it doesn't always affect if I teleport using the I key then go to player which is what I mean by teleport, first you notice that when you type in chat the message is taking minutes to appear same for opening tab it allows me to open consol, relogging used to help at the start, but now unless both players/admins relog it will get worse till the server needs restarting , it starts to effect the entire server its mainly a admin issue it affects us the worse it never seems to happen if players are together they can play and bump into each other all day but one us admins bump together it nearly always causes a drama ;( we have plugins james1bows portals, wisp,hideadmin,allareas and yahoos online market . thnxs for any suggestions8)

    If i understand you correctly, your problems seem to occur when admins are present and teleport to players/admins using the interface? The effect is massive lagging? Maybe it would be helpful to post server logs, there could be some Exception spam in the logs from plugins that take down the server performance. I dont use any of those plugins so i have no experience what else it could be, but a server-log should help.

    Thanks for the reports! Just to avoid misunderstandings, when talking about "lags", you mean actual lags, i.e the game still runs smoothly but there is a huge delay in various actions (sending chat messages, world takes ages to load etc)?


    What's suspicious in the logs is that there is apparently a very high ping (often between 200-1000ms)... is it only that high while experiencing these lags? Or is it always that high?

    The problem with a high ping is that it drastically reduces the overall throughput. For instance, a ping of 800 ms and 1% packet loss results in a max theoretical bandwith of only ~18 KB/sec.


    If the bandwith if fully used up for sending larger data, for example, you won't even receive smaller packets in the meantime (like chat messages). In other words, if the game is busy downloading images, plugin data or world data, you will experience the lags you've described above. According to the logs, there is a lot of data sent from server to client (up to several hundreds of MB).


    Unfortunately there might be other reasons why the ping is that high, e.g. a high general server load. If I understood it correctly, all players suffer from the lags, is that correct? Or does it only affect certain players?

    The server log might contain more information if something is wrong there... do you mind sending me a server log from a session where these lags occurred? Feel free to send it via PM to me :)
