Hiho,

I'm running a forgottenserver 0.3.1pl2 version and it's taking 46% of my 8GB Ram. I don't know why it's taking so much but WoW server doesn't take so much with 1000 players...Here are my computer specs:

Procesor: Intel Core 2 Quad (E6600)
RAM: 8GB DDR2 Dual-Channel
OS: Debian GNU/linux Etch 4.1 64bit

Map information:
Size: 110MB
Spawn size: 2.5MB

Internet speed: 1Gbps
Ppl online: 80-120

Please explain my problem fast. :p

Thanks.
Yours,
gunz.

Don't know why it laggs.
Maybe because of your WoW server?

I think the most problems with this serwer is eating memory, I think thats the reason why it crash ... Also I had no lags on my server at beta1/beta2/beta3 with 100 players online, and now I do, all the time internet connection download 4mb upload 1mb. And also if someone knows why... just tell us.

I'm not running any wow server, it was just an example and it doesn't lags or crash, but I can't look that 2D game eating 4GB RAM. :> And about 80-120 ppl play there...

Wow server normally doesn't load map, it's loading only positions of creatures and some items...but when it control 1000 players - this mean all talents, spells, and other shits and doesn't need so much ram...it's something strange here...Maybe otserv need to rewrite? ^.^ Remove lua and all other sux things ? :> Maybe use ruby, python? xD Ye my words are so arrogant but it will be goooood.

ye and the first that will be requesting help for a script in python gonna be you.... Lua don't sux, and you can test it by making a script that have 28937492834234 lines and spam it in your server, you will notice it wont use any % of ram/cpu.... and python is more used for operative system tasks not for scripting in a game.. and bout ruby is kinda the same as lua so why change if lua dosent eat a shit and it's very flexible since you can make with it almost EVERYTHING???

and about the ram, is the map... anoter thing you can check if you are using the new clean system it store all the trowed items and that can be eating your ram if the ppl on your server trow many crap..

if you would even know it, you would also know its not for such kind scripting.
you refer to wow emulators? you know they use lua too, right? you know, that their maps are stored in mysql and actually NOT being stored in memory just lively queried, right?
first think about what you're talking about, then write pointless threads. if you're a thief (tibia map) use otserv, it will handle 110mb map without tfs features smoothly, but then don't cry.
bye.

wow map = local
tibia map = serversided

on softcores/icechaw/thunderfall we have ~100mb free ram with a lot of it used by servers (62%+) and we dont cry because *nix systems have good memory management, bye. :thumbup:
