Server Lagging my computer

[knoxcorner]

For some reason, when ever I try to run a private server, it gives me a huge amount of lag. I can still start BZFlag but when i try to connect everything will freeze and I can't test my map. It doesn't give me any errors on the command. Before I got onto BZFlag, I opened task manager, and bzfs was taking all my memory with 99cpu. I put my config file and world file on incase anything is wrong with that. It works just fine without the configure file though. The map is not finished, and I really can't continue untill this is worked out.


C'mon and help the newb.

The code I show is corrected, replace this in your file.

Since you are having trouble turn on more debugging levels:

Code: Select all

#-d
# and more complex debugging.
#-dd
#-ddd
-dddd

Pick one of these, not both - since you are running a CTF then the second one

Code: Select all

#-mp 25
-mp 0,5,5,5,5,5

If you are going to filter the chat and callsigns, you must have a file that contains the words to filter. You will have to build this file, or find the one that is in the source.

Code: Select all

-badwords C:\Documents and Settings\JSM\My Documents\My BZFlag Files\badwords.txt
-filterChat
-filterCallsigns

Comment this out, I've never seen a practical use for this. I'll bet this is the command that is causing the processor loop.

Code: Select all

#-reportpipe command

Now you are just being silly, change this to a reasonable number. This is most definitely the reason why your server is crashing.

Code: Select all

-set _wingsJumpCount 1000

Comment this out, you don't want your server to be in replay mode. This will cause your server to not be a playing server.

Code: Select all

#-replay
#-recbuf 2

In general, when you are testing you don't want to have all the options turned on. You don't really need to start running at full speed. Try turning off almost all the options until you get it going, then turn them back on one by one.

Code: Select all

-set _wingsJumpCount 1000

Why would that cause the issue? I've had it that high and higher without any kind of problem, as I recall.

the OP's conf had it as -set _wingsJumpCount 9999999999999999999999999999999999
and THAT is a problem

Distractions is right. I didn't know that that many wing jumps would crash the server because of what I had read before:

Lag= Shots x Players

Thanks Distraction and Constitution, I got it to work



But is this supposed to happen?




If you look closely it says

Recalibrated QPC Frequency

Every 2-4 seconds.

[sp unit 262]

I''m not sure, but that number can't even be held in a 64-bit integer.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

But is this supposed to happen?

Probably so. It's because you have so many -d's. If all you want is simple logging of joins, parts, chat, etc., you could probably get by with just one -d. -ts also helps.

Code: Select all

-badwords C:\Documents and Settings\JSM\My Documents\My BZFlag Files\badwords.txt

If you're including spaces in file names or around text such as the public description (which includes spaces) you must surround that text in quotes. For example:

Code: Select all

-badwords "C:\Documents and Settings\JSM\My Documents\My BZFlag Files\badwords.txt"
-public "This is a public server"
