2.3 lagg spikes

[Akuma]

kept getting an error with my dbserver then the m2server said runtime error to the dbserver, sorted this coz was using to much cpu, so was running near 100% at all times

neways... got my server running at the moment and every 50 seconds the cpu jumps from 4% right up to 100% then right bak down to normal, any ideas why its doin this

thanx

just noticed that on the m2server just below the control button it says

Run:17/17 Soc: etc

Run goes from 17/1 right after the spike to 17/17 sits for few seconds, when there is a spike ig goes 2/2 the 17/1 and counts bak up.... whats this:?

hope someone can find out what this problem is as quite a few are having it.

the reason why the run thing goes from 17/17 to 1/1 or 2/2 and then counts again is cause whoever made this original system kinda got confused with his own variables
it's suposed to cound from 1/17 to 17/17 then rest to 1/17 (i think)
but now what it does is really stupid and confusing
it's a mixed counter that counts both the runtimer and the main exe timer
however from what i could see it's not directly linked to the actual system (aka there's nothing that says 'if timer = 17/17 then run ....'
the only thing is: this timer goes up ever 250 ms (i hope) and well maybe that just happens to coincide with something else

oh i forgot to mention: i have been checking and found one process which ocasionaly takes about half a second to finish, but my cpu never goes over 40% so (then again i have a 3.5G so)

ah right ok well is it a problem needing fixed or is it ok, my cpu is naff just using it till i get server going so probs y mine goes 100%..

does it need fixing though?

k just did alot of testing (nearly 2hrs lol) and turns out the lag spikes come from the lottery npc
it restocks 10000 lotery tickets every X seconds just edit the goods list of the npc file to say 100 and your 'lag spike' should be gone (it was for me )

The lag on server and CPU occupied resurses, are doing it only if u have to much mobs in Mongen.txt and they are in here setup incorectly, here u have an good eg:

;For map BichonProvince
;Map Coordonates Mobs dispersal amount time
0 333 270 ViolentHen 50 50 100
0 333 270 Hen 50 50 100
.
.
.

So be carefully with number of mobs, and u need to have an good CPU(700-4000Mhz),and RAM (min256-2000Mb) for XP. Is very indicated to have minimum RAM:512Mb, to dont have problems. Try this, and me i have the same problems, in the past but i setup corectly mongen.txt and now works corectly. I have now 4600 mobs on my server, and in time i dont have lag,after 1-2 weeks.

Qft!

I dont know who made that elementary mistake lol..
Someone should edit the npc on the svn.

just edited all my npc scripts, no need to have 200 of each armour to spawn every time so changed them all and now wont go above 15% cpu, in middle of editing the mongen file so when done will try that, see what it does

Cheers againd td
