Sever Lag?


Recommended Posts

So what is up with all of the server lag lately? Is it the amount of people? Props? Amount of Addons? or maybe is it even the map? What do you guys think?

Everything, pretty much nothing is optimised

We are also running off DarkRP (as do most SWRP servers) And it kills frames, this shit is awful for non-americans

DarkRP itself is completely optimized and has been for the past few updates, as it is used by many many servers and the dev(s) actually listen to feedback to fix their shit.

This is cause to a couple of things:

  1. Models having to render at certain distances, as gmod developers never add proper LODs to their models.
  2. Textures for models with normal maps can be resource heavy.
  3. The map itself may not combine well with some of the models. (not blaming the map, it's fine, the addons in combination with it are not)
  4. The scripts that could be running can take a heavy toll on things. For example, the developer for TFA acknowledges the fact that he's fucking horrid at scripting and his addons don't work with SWRP at all. Infact he despises darkRP and SWRP and refuses to fix it.
  5. The server finding issues receiving information for each player as they typically have to run each script included. (This is likely not the cause but it can prove to be a little resourceful.)
  6. Props also not having LODs and textures that are normally too high resolution or too detailed for a server with many players.

Most people work on addons as a means for singleplayer, so half the time no one notices. But the people who develop for SWRP know jack all. Kyle and gideon were a rare gem in a dense sea of amateur devs who call themselves "the shit" for the servers they work for.

It's incompetence from addon developers, not the people here. Though they do play a hand in it's addition.
All and all, better addons = better performance.
