Epic lag!?
« on: August 30, 2011, 10:04:13 AM »
Well, when people join my TTT server, theres mass lag. Lag also happens when people are added/removed from groups.

Any one know why?

We use the latest ulx and ulib. (SVN)

Does this happen with other gamemodes as well? Or only when you are running TTT.

Just curious, how many users do you have in your users.txt file?

Good call Stickly Man, this seems like a plausible cause. Willdy, can you email Stickly and me your users.txt file (emails are in forum profiles)? If your lag is caused by the large file we'll look into optimizing the reading of that file.

Out of curiosity, why is your file so large?

I had the same problem when using my sql authentication script I posted. It would add the users to the users.text file even if they were just guests. I fixed it, but never updated it here. Dunno if that is his problem, but it could be..

What if you did user authentication by having a flatfile per user instead of one file with everyone in it? This might be better on resources with larger scale.

Yah, I've come across this problem with the author of APromote, his server was set up to automatically promote anyone on his server whose been connected for (an hour?), so there were quite a few users -- from what I can tell, ULX and XGUI are not fully optimized for large users lists.

When the server is empty, ill modify the auto promote and will remake the users.txt file.

I'm pretty sure there are things we can do to optimize it, I'm discussing with megiddo about it. Do you make extensive use of your "user" group? (ie, the group players are in when they first join your server?) If you immediately or after a short while stick them into a specific group, then you'll get a whole load of users that only play on your server once building up in your users.txt

EDIT: Okay, Megiddo confirmed to me that he doesn't actually send that users table to anyone, it's all handled through XGUI. Which means I have some optimizing I need to do lol. I vaguely remember doing some major optimizations for this very reason a while back, but.. apparently I haven't finished? (It's been a while lol)

I'll look into it as soon as I get home to let you know of the status. When I can actually find the time to make the optimizations is beyond me  :-\
