Massive lag when cables unload

[devryb]

When cables unload from a chunk after a player leaves it there is a huge lag spike on the server.

Also I believe that is what's causing this log spam as well

The Spam is simply because i needed to test stuff...
The other thing is: Every time a Cable gets unloaded (chunkunload/tileUnload) it causes a BlockUpdate on his block and all others (it is nessesary for renderring) but it is interesting how you got that...
But worldUnload should not call chunkUnloads thats a little bit weird...

Edit: reason beeing because a lot of chunks get unloaded at once and thats why cables need to reload their data... What i can do is make that happen in the tick and process then over time more stuff...
(Less lag)
Just a question how many cables/machines that work IC2 Energy do you have?

[devryb]

Lots... this is on a server with 40 people on at peak and IC2 classic is the main machines mod.

[Speiger]

Ok that explains everything... The enet has much todo. ^^"

[Speiger]

I will try to make another way to unload/load the cables faster...^^" not sure how yet.

[devryb]

Thanks for taking a look into it!

[Speiger]

Simple preventation. Keep the chunks loaded^^"

[devryb]

We can't give everyone access to something that keeps their base loaded all the time but the ones that load the area only while the player is on is what we've been telling them to use in the meantime.

[Speiger]

Yeah...
Just a question can i give you a test Version that logs a Special information for me when a player logs in or after special time (every 10 minutes)? Because i want to know a couple information about your IC2 Energy Kind Tiles. (How much you are using, how much get unloaded and stuff)

[devryb]

Sure as long as it will work with version 1.1.2.1 on the clients

[Speiger]

Em version wise (i do not update versions so as long the items match you could use any IC2 Classic version) it should work... ^^" But that will take a day.

[devryb]

Sounds good, and just making sure that I can give you proper testing.
