Simple update to dramatically increase wintersurvival performance

(1/3) > >>

Mufasa:
I used to play wintersurvival very cautiously, as you may know it's constantly using about the maximum possible bandwidth for gmod, at 25kbps no matter how many players there are
this is most likely due to the fact that at the start of every round, probably over 100 props are spawned, and left unchecked
i've modified one of the LUA files in wintersurvial to make the entities check every 2 seconds if they are moving, and if they arent, freeze yourself so the server no longer has to handle your movements/possible physics interactions
think about it, 100 props no longer sending physics information to every player on the server

probable advantages of this are:
massive server usage reduction
little or no gameplay changes
more players ( i used to stop playing because i had a capped amount of bandwidth )
less lag
less bandwidth usage

possible disadvantages are:
perhaps props freezing in a weird position (even though it would have stopped in that position anyway)

anyway, my upgrade is here
http://pastebin.com/r2rRAu0T
copy the contents of that into wintersurvival>entities>entities>ws_item>init.lua (replace what's in there)

if any bugs/exploits come of the update, i would be willing to commit to fix them for the sake of a better running server

Deathie:
Looks like a really good contribution.  :thumbsup: to be added to WS. Might start playing on it more anyways.

Dale Feles:
Thank god, less lag!  :thumbsup:

ٶȻhriʂ:

Sabb:
I don't play WS, but this looks legit.
Noice.
