According to the logs Gar posted yesterday that when it was going over 1GB it was dying,

So they must allocate 1GB per server

maybe speak to link, he and frenchtart actually have some dedi boxes iirc, might be able to get a proper amount of ram

 

[Delvis]

1gb is theoretically enough for a 24man server but most hosting companies say 2gb is needed if your running mods and things.

thats what i mean...Sadly it no doubt costs more to allocate more physically...



on server 2 atm...but cut out the middle of the map

 

[Baplad]

Yeah the only solution to a more stable server would be to get a dedi,

But that costs more


And then again this is ALPHA software ;p

woot, it's back up

Im talking to multiplay support now about the server issue

Good work Baplad

My no flying mod ban still stands, anything that could put the server at risk of crashing I don't want used.

Tefal that mod can be added, I did have alook at it a few weeks back but wanted to wait & see what direction the server took.

Baplad thanks for the email your game name should be green now with added admin commands at your use. Also post two on this thread I have added instructions on how to used the /protect command.

What price is being paid? Maybe we can get a donate page up to get a solid server?

Maybe £2-£5 donation to the cause from all the play would help? (Im not sure how much per month these things cost).

And maybe also as an incentive, the main admin could give all donators a diamond pickaxe or the equipment to make one? Something like that anyway, its not a huge thing but helps get you started?

Just chucking out some ideas as we have got some cracking players on these servers, im more of a digger and helper, but i enjoy that as the real creative players do some great stuff

plenty of people are happy to contribute to the running costs if it manes a decent stable server

 

[james.miller]

then i'd suggest you stop people buildin up to the top of the map as that was also crashing the server, i still maintain touching the boundaries of the map is the issue, not flying.

indeed, i would quite happily contribute a bit if it meant being able to play more often

Building to the top of the map didn't crash it (well it didn't on S1). Every building I made, I went to the very top of the map.

The only difference I had after the update with building that high is that once I reached the top, I got stuck so had to /home. Never any crashes though.

I am fine with getting a dedicated server but you will need to make sure who every buys its know what thay are doing with installing the files & mods, fixing bugs.
Would need to be up and stable for 2 months before I add any funds to it's running costs.
I fail to see how it would be anymore stable then what we have, yesterday there was a patch out for minecraft part of this was to fix a bug that Reduced CPU usage for monster spawning.
How do we know that this memory lose is also not a bug ?

Part of the logs from server 2 afew days back before the new patch

14:54:48 clanforge_auto Server is dieing too often ( shutting it down )
14:53:46 clanforge_auto Server had issues ( using too much CPU [100.59 > 100] ) for 60 seconds ( Restarted 2 time(s) )
14:50:41 clanforge_auto Server is using too much CPU [100.59 > 100] ( restarting )
14:49:39 clanforge_auto Server had issues ( using too much CPU [100.59 > 100] ) for 60 seconds ( Restarted 1 time(s) )
14:44:31 clanforge_auto Server is using too much CPU [100.59 > 100] ( restarting )
14:43:29 clanforge_auto Server had issues ( using too much CPU [100.49 > 100] ) for 60 seconds ( Restarted 0 time(s) )

To much CPU usage ?

Is my host really going to be hosting this server on a under powered server with out doing anything about it ?
The server has been more stable today then yesterday.

I started hosting the server for Ocuk members as I wanted to pay online & members were talking about getting one, for 2 weeks there was talk of.... I can host one, I can buy one, I can host one on works server ect but.....
No one did it, so someone needs to make a move & buy a dedicated server & not spend weeks talking about it, will not be me this time only due to I think it's going to be more work then we think.

Interesting report from BBServers regarding RAM usage in Minecraft

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5512246/BBMCRep.pdf

Main problem appears to be multiple players expanding the world simultaneously.

 

[sja360]

interesting, can i ask what bandwidth requirements are required per player ? maybe it would be possible to run this on a home connection thus allowing a big 8GB ram server to just run this.
i cant see how adding 1GB of ram to a dedicated server can cost that much more.

This is why I don't want players flying around the map faster then they are ment to be, that's a lot of extra work you are asking of a already unstable program.

 

[Baplad]

Intresting reading that

Oh and here is our new welcoming mascot

 

[sunlitsix]

haha awesome!

Whitelist updated to post number 939
If it says not on whitelist then repost on thread

 

[Windle]

I'm trying to get a server atm with 8gb RAM available. Having a few problems getting MC off the ground on it atm but will post back if I do.

That much RAM should eradicate all the performance issues that Gars server has been suffering, if as the BB Servers report is correct is down to RAM.
