McPc+ server optimization?

enterprise12 · May 3, 2014

I have been using mcpc+ to run my modpack here: http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/a-new-age-enterprise.55905

I upgraded from 1.6.2 to 1.6.4 it is much more stable and i have no crashes anymore on the server.

However 1.6.4 of mcpc+ now has new config options, and i was wondering how to optimize it.

the TPS is low, i loaded the world 10,000 blocks out using worldborder fill.

My Plugins:

Essentials

enjin minecraft plugin

boseeconomy

factions

restartannounce

scheduled announcer 2

worldborder

worldgaurd

worldedit

dynmap

stargates

votifier

prism

jobs lockette

My mods are in the link to my modpack.

Server.log file: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=8644122E84A7836A%21267

Here is my configuration for Mcpc, bukkit, spigot files (i also lowered the spawn rates for mo creatures) i think this is mostly the optimization for mcpc+ as it worked nicely in 1.6.2

It looks like you have an item ID set to a value that is too high (32056 or 31800). Possibly with a Calclavia mod.
It looks like you might have an incorrect version of EnjinMinecraftPlugin in your plugins folder <shudder>.
You should update your MCPC+ to the most recent build (B254 as of this post).
Without a link to your Technic pack page and/or download URL it will be difficult to provide more input than that.

i dont think that any of that would cause the server to drop to 6TPS

no im using the correct version of enjin for 1.6.4 version 2.5.6 if you check

Im using the latest mcpc+ for 1.6.4, or was a few days ago, but will update

i gave the link on the top

Use a profiler to figure out what is eating TPS

Im trying to use opis, but i dont quite understand it. If any of you want to come on and try install opis and i can give you permission to use it.

I have a huge space station filled with oxygen for spawn, im not sure if the amount of oxygen sealers could be causing it, there are 200 sheep and such, i can try lowering the spawn rates further, Once we get around 8+ people tps seems to drop

You have a fairly heavy pack for both worldgen and active memory usage. How much memory is in the server running the modpack? How much is allocated to your server process? What is your view distance set to? Large packs with a lot of complex mods can really consume a fairly large amount of memory per player, especially if your view distance is set too high.

enterprise12 · May 5, 2014

I have 6-8GB set and a view distance of 7

I have a gigantic dome on a space station for spawn with Galacticraft filled with a few dozen oxygen sealers, im wondering if they are lowering the tps a ton, im going to try and move spawn for a day to see if it being unloaded makes a difference.

I ran nearly all the same type of mods in 1.6.2 and we had great TPS, just the old version of mcpc plus caused world corruption which is why i upgraded the modpack to 1.6.4

Now all these new settings like a-sync and such i have no idea what they do, there is on thing i notice:

This error as well, although i dont think its saving in the server.log file (its an error like this, just named differently looks like its associating with the mods):

So, you have 6-8G set but out of how much RAM in the system? Is this a dedicated server or are you doing something else with machine? And yes, many of the "current version" mods are doing more so they do take a bit more resources. You might want to make sure that your mcpc.yml has been reset (by removing it and letting it get recreated) and changing what you need. There have been some changes to defaults.

enterprise12 · May 5, 2014

Its a dedicated server, i just deleted the files and adjusted, will see how that goes, i think it has 16GB of ram, i highly doubt the RAM is the problem, as it never uses more than 40% according to task manager

enterprise12 · May 6, 2014

Seems updating and resetting the configs fixed it!!!

Thanks!

Im trying to enable fake players now, mcpc+ comes with:

fake-players:

do-login: true

forestry/core/utils/Utils$1:

username: '[[Forestry]]'

This didnt allow forestry to build however, i had to /op [[Forestry]] and it seems that list has not added buildcraft, ic2, thermal expansion, thaumcraft.

Buildcraft seems to be building on its own however, i havent seen the others yet.

I try to reach mcpc+ team at their main page but no response

Now its been running smooth for days, after a restart this just pops up out of nowhere causing it to crash, >.>

The version of Mekanism you have in your client pack (and I assume server pack) has known bugs with this exact problem when using Universal Cable to carry EU. Upgrade to the latest Mekanism.

enterprise12 · May 9, 2014

ooh ok thanks! i never would have found that out!

You have been so helpful, your like the only person i ever see respond you deserve a cookie

plowmanplow · May 9, 2014

Mmmm, cookies. Crap, now I want a cookie.

enterprise12 · May 9, 2014

haha xD it still happens, i got mekanism from here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1361286-164-mekanism-v6-universal-cable-balloons-5x-ore-duplication-jetpacks/

I set "Load chunk on Request" to false and it seems to have fixed it.

Thanks for all your help! hopefully you get a cookie :3

Your always welcome on the server!

plowmanplow · May 9, 2014

I'm not on .42 but on .38 and things work well. Setting load chunk on request to false will cause problems with other things.

enterprise12 · May 9, 2014

Hmm well whenever i have it set to true, either i get that error or the server has extremely long tick time then crashes.

What sort of problems if its set to false?

plowmanplow · May 10, 2014

I don't remember off the top of my head but I think it's something to do with contention between mods when trying to access data in unloaded chunks.

enterprise12 · May 10, 2014

Ah well, do you have any idea how to fix this? i updated to the latest Mekanism, still happens on startup if load chunk on-request is set to true.

I updated Forge-microblocks to latest, the hasmap error still looks like it has something todo with IC2
