    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

    So server SIDE lag. This wouldn't help connection much. I'll have to try it tomorrow though, It be nice to get under 150 mb ( at 370 mb with like 10 plugins)

    I'll be glad to test/check this out! I'll tell you how it performs for me.

    Mrchasez

    If your server has a bad connection, no this wont help the connection, However it will still speed everything else up.
    If you run 370MB and 10 Average plugins, it should run perfect using Ptweaks

    Sure, Thanks!

    Chunk caching is burning up CPU like no ones business that's no doubt, but it does seem to retain a lot of ram.

    Mrchasez

    My CPU usage didn't go up at all, on our test server.
    It may be conflicting with another plugin.
    I will look into it, However there shouldn't be any noticeable increase in anything.

    [v1.3]

    • Fixed CPU taking up extra resources for no reason
    • Fixed Ptweaks error string

    @Mrchasez : You are missing version number in title. And the changelogs are usually the another way around (newest first). :p

    Going to try this, nice new features compared to the original.

    Code:
    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)
    What if I have SSD running? Then this feature doesn't impact on it?

    It does impact a bit, but the effect on one server will be small. Mostly considering how there are tens or hundreds of servers on one node/dedi, on SSDs, it could help in that case. You can change it in the config I believe.

    I am sorry i meant @Mrchasez
    But thanks anyway.
     
  11. hum, this gives my server massive lag!


    jk, good job.
     
  12. Installed it 2min ago and will to a longtime test now.
    First impression: it works!

    @Mrchasez

    It seems ptweaks is working well at my server, but the cpu usage is higher than normal!
    Not extreme, but higher!

    Mrchasez

    Thanks :)
    I fixed them both

    It will have an impact, It wont be a drastic one though.
    However it still helps :)

    haha
    Thank you

    I am aware that it takes "Some" CPU.
    It shouldn't take enough to change anything though, Once you run it for a short while this should go down :)
    This will be completely fixed in upcoming updates.

    Just a slight note.
    If you really wanna keep my plugin alive, actually do some of your own coding.
    Claiming most of the code is new is obviously wrong with 2 seconds looking at the decompile.
    Anyways, If you can indeed make something good based on my stuff then go for it. I'd like to see what you come up with.
    but for anyone else out there, might wanna check out NoLag Its a better successor in my opinion.

    Lots of the old code has been changed, and added. I tried to keep it as close to your standard as possible. Not all code was changed, where it wasn't needed. I changed the main topic, to not new but changed. Dont fix what isn't broken.

    Edit: It's a lot different now.

    The Monster limiter will disabled 'natural' monster spawning when the number of monster gets above the max threshold. Then it will re-enabled it when the monsters get below the threshold - 100.

    Is this different from nolagg?

    Mrchasez

    Yes, Very much. It would improve your server if you ran both, because they help servers in different ways.

    Edit: Not so much anymore.

    I try this now :)
    Server without Ptweaks v1.3:
    17,6 TPS
    21 User online

    Test with Ptweaks comes in 10 minuts.

    //Edit:
    Is this "Mini-Save" a "save-all"?
    When yes, can i delete my plugin that save-all the world all 15 minuts?

    //edit:
    Sorry .. with Ptweaks v1.3:
    5,8 TPS

    Mrchasez

    Yes, yes it can.
    This just buffers a lot of it out.
    The server shouldn't become un-responsive using this.

    Adding video to show how how Ptweaks adds performance to a server, while 3,000 TNT explodes.
    On a 356MB server, running 7 plugins and bukkit.

    Added video

    Just install them both.
    It would work just fine, Since the plugins work very differently.

    Thanks, The TNT Edit feature is only a side part :)
    The main work is how much ram it reduces.
