1.0 (#1550) Eating up my RAM and spewing 'Player Join Errors'

Today i have updated from 1.8.1 (#1337) to 1.0 (#1550) and as result a have got a whole host of errors with player joins being passed to certain plugins and as i am writing this my log file is now being spammed with errors with disabling Spout. The connection is laggy and i can hardly connect to it via FTP without it timing out.

The errors connected to RAM are as follows:

Code:

[WARNING] **** NOT ENOUGH RAM!

Code:

[WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?

And there is a massive spam, and i mean spam, 1,000s of lines of this per second:

Code:

Unknown command. Type "help" for help.

This usually comes directly after a system time change 'warning' and could possibly be at the same time as a user command, however this is hard to judge.

The player join errors are for these plugins (note i have not updated them yet as this error only came up 1/2 way through making this thread):

• WorldEdit
• HelpTicket
• McMMO
• Towny
• Essentials

These errors look something like this:

Code:

[SEVERE] Could not pass event PLAYER_JOIN to WorldEdit

That was the one for WorldEdit, they are all basically the same. They seem to be connected to Spout, which i deleted for a whole string of other errors connected to Spout.

Spout also seems to be causing another error about not being able to be disabled when i try to shut down the server:

Code:

This is obviously weird as i have removed spout.


I would really like to know what Minecraft is doing with the additional RAM, if it is a case of 1.0 using more server resorces i will upgrade my server, if it can be fixed without the need of upgrading then i would love to.

 

Have you updated to the lastest version of Spout dev build?

You can get it from here:
http://spout.in/plugindev

 

I tried that but it didn't help, i have now deleted Spout and it created those errors.. The daily restart an hour ago seemed to help as no errors occured while shutting down or starting.
(Note: I did restart it multiple times before i made the thread)

 

How much RAM are you actually assigning the server? Also, looks like the initial errors are from an outdated build of Spout. Basically you were running a beta 1.8.1 build of Spout on a 1.0.0 server.

You wouldn't be getting Spout errors if Spout wasn't on the server. Likely you have a plugin that is downloading an outdated version for some feature.

 

Ah right, i see..
Yeah that could actually be possible as i found 2 versions of it after i tried to update it, one with a capital C and one without. I was in a bit of a mess last night as backing up my whole world file and the plugins file to my PC through FTP messed my internet up and i was basically helpless to fix the server.

The server is only allocated 1GB as that is the limit set down by the hosting
