See, I tested it with alpha, and block regen and shit was so horrible, it wasn't worth it.


Yet, running a beta server seems a lot more better. I haven't had a single issue with block regen, or expanding the map. I just need to get some people who can help me test the above listed, considering I have a lower ping because I'm next to the server.

Like how in GMOD, props are serversided. If you spawn something, the exact location of that prop is on the server, and is uploaded to all the users connected.

If I was to spawn a billion props on a server, it won't matter if im on the same connection or another one. The calculations are run on the server, not my own computer, thus I would see and experience the lag too.

I want people to help me test by connecting externally. The server can obviously handle most stuff fine. With one player.

tl;dr
Server runs fine. Nid ppl 2 do stress tests.

AAAAAAAAhhhh its still generating the map.

shawn, 512?
you need atleast 1GB for a small map
and small map = file size of 256+ MB
shits srs

I tested a 1.2.6 server on my 8GB Quad core rig.

Used 812MB's on a fresh map, no plugins.

Tested out a 1.1_02 beta on the same rig

Used 142MB's on a fresh map, no plugins.


The only concern I have is expanding the map, which is the only thing that lags the server. There is NO block regen at all.

Plus, if this works out, in two weeks, I can upgrade the same rig to 2GB ram with a faster processor.

barely any lag on it 
and only lag when i explore

Nope just 512 will do if you know how to host a server properly.

Testings over for now.

The only issue we seemed to have wasn't block removing, but block creation.

We could remove stuff fine, and talking through text was almost instant, along with commands.

But things like cobblestone generators took a while.

And when we would place water over large areas, it would spread fine, but when we removed the spring tile, it would take a while to decipate.

So I think my final verdict is just to upgrade the ram and use this instead of the VPN.

Thanks to everyone that helped test!

Would've helped but I've been online and offline all day haven't had time to really sit down and do anything Lol

Also some of the problems you're facing could just be Notch problem i heard alot of errors started when it switched to Beta.

Hey0 works fine BTW.

c:

And maybe, but I played beta for a while in SP, and it seems fine, so these issues would be SMP related. DiZ is gonna host the server on his PC for the next two weeks until I can upgrade the ram.

I have 50$ in the process of getting into my paypal account. It usually takes a week for it to clear.

I'm betting I'll get it on the 31'st or the 1st.

At which point, I'll order 2GB's of ram off e-bay or some other website, and will take another week to ship.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

SDRAM is so freaking cheap, lol.

bump
Server is online and going to stay online for the rest of the day (or longer).
As said in the OP, it's vanilla and we haven't built much except a rather small house.

Feel free to join,
IP is 76.232.176.11

/Edit:
Okay, so for some reason it decided to shut down and DeathFurry is not gonna be awake for the next 8 hours.

Damn, I messed something up and cant restart the server because teamviewer uses to much of the cpu. Join on my ip for tonight until dethie can fix in the morning. Ip is 70.173.197.98

should be up in 5 minutes. Sorry about the problem. Still working the bugs out. Just gotta transfer the world to my comp and it will be up.

Edit>>> Not going to have the map cause the teamveiwer transfer thing isnt working. Unable to connect to the computer.
Edit>>>>Up and running.

well im going to sleep now... Should be fine for whoever wants to join. For those who know my mc, its the secondary map file with admin island.

Sorry about the issue. IDK why it happened or what the problem even was really.

[Shawn]

Wait what map is up?
