I was with garsands during the creation of the vaults and got to see what the problems were. The primary problem and cause of the lag is nothing to do with the vaults per se, the problem stems from the vault areas not being lit up and endlessly spawning mobs, this caused the lag first time around. The reason for the current lag is that the vaults have been duplicated twice over below the current set of vaults but as far as I'm aware this is a work in progress and as such has yet to be lit/cleared of mobs hence the lag.
The more people in the area the more mobs spawn and it quickly degrades as a result.

Unfortunately making and setting up the vaults is incredibly time consuming, few appreciate just how long gars worked on their creation. The design is sound and not a source of lag, the work just needs completed which was ongoing at the time, unfortunately the complaints and lag at spawn was getting too much.

These vaults are well thought out and well constructed, it would be a great shame to abandon this, rather it would be nicer to complete them. The reason for the extra floors of vaults below was to have another set in advance as the server popularity was growing and vaults would soon run out.

tl;dr

Lag due to mobs in dark inaccessible vault areas, not the vaults themselves.

Ok, expedition tomorrow to fix the vaults and light them up and clearing mobs.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) @ 12:30pm (Just after/before lunch).

Feel free to come along.
 
ok, bottom 3 vaults were cleared of mobs and the entire bottom section and gaps has been filled with stone.

Spawn is vastly improved, think any remaining lag is the protection mod in the remaining vault layer.
 
Is anyone up for getting the bank sorted out? While the vault system is great I think it would be awesome to have an actual building above. Plus it would be great to get another massive community project like the train station. Doesn't take long when you get a load of people together. Reckon we did the station in 3/4 hours max.

Is there anyway we can get a closeup top-down output of the spawn area? THink it would be really helpful for planning community builds and stopping any problems like the ones that happened over the last few days.

I'm also really for a large map that people can mark their territory on and is easily accessible. Is there anyway, as mentioned in the other thread, of using the GoogleMaps API to do this?

Also, well done Windle for taking over the responsibility of admin and thanks garsands for the great job you've done.

Why not use this forum?:confused:

Just chucking ideas around :)

Mainly the thought was because the main mc thread here gets clogged up with lots of stuff and you end up with pages of stuff to trawl through. Seperate forum would mean seperate posts. But it may well be overkill :)

hello to the first day of the rest of your life.

i'd like to apologise somewhat for my behaviour this morning and offer what blocks i have in my inventory ( those that were stored there whilst rebuilding spawn) to those affected by my rash decision, however, however rash it may have been it does not excuse the fact that people simply can not follow clear rules and guidelines, spawn was not to build on willy nilly, there were clearly designated plots (both in-game and in the old thread) that had just been ignored and regardless of the sign posts used, the bank building was clearly designated bank, the spawn hall likewise as well as the server shop (run by aypez) and the station (the building of which has been completed and looks very good, in keeping with the rest of spawn.) and the community build area, i made it clear that this area was for approved projects only, people who came with useful ideas (ie not carbon copy shops) were to be given space to build them, hence why tefal got a plot (server shop was for materials, tefals was for pre-made objects). if you wanted to build there you should have asked.

to the person who mentioned my 'period'; yes i was very angry that someone had led a creeper to the entrance to the mine i was using for spawn materials, but i've been in the thread every day since posting and commenting, there was plenty of opportunity to ask for spawn building permission, unlike some i don't have the ability to spend my entire day on the server babysitting and so i used what little time i've had this past week (if you'd bothered to read my posts detailing what needed doing in spawn whilst i was away (for reasons which i mentioned) you would have seen this) to try and keep some small online presence and connection to the community in a meaningful way by at least having some involvement on here. perhaps now instead of complaining about me having a moan about my stuff being destroyed (stuff which wasn't even for me) you'll understand,.

try and see it from my perspective, i spent a lot of time just planning the spawn let alone the time i spent putting it in to place along with the help of a few others, twice i've had the time i put in wasted by people who have a disregard for what other people have spent there time doing. i think i share tefals pain somewhat, both of us had grand ideas and marked of the space to do them, others have disrespected this (despite how spacious the world is) to build whatever the heck they want right where we asked them not to.

Sorry for blowing my top off, I appreciate all the work you have put into spawn.

At the same time I think you were the only person who seemed to know what you wanted at spawn, because I asked everyone on the server at the time and everyone said it was fine to build in the community build areas.

In any case I had all the intentions of building only to benefit the community and would have happily removed it myself if anyone took a disliking to it.

Just got me very mad that after spending a whole day getting the materials for it and then another day building it you destroyed it in one night.

Give me a little heads up next time :)
