Latency issues: RESOLVED!

[Deleted User 009 0]

Hey guys I'm about to head out for the gym; but I just wanted to throw a post up. Both I and availer have been CRAZY busy lately with our lives, and today is really the first day I've been able to troubleshoot these lag issues. It turns out it was due to abusers of our custom skill system. Some idiots (who if I find I will ban) decided it would be a good idea to use an autoclicker than spoofs clicks/psec which caused MASSIVE lag by itself.

So I disabled the entity_damage hook in and the lag was immediately gone. To fix this issue in the longterm, I'll be reworking how EXP gain works for combat so it is given on the entity's death rather than per damage as minecraft's hitbox is a buggy little s***.

Sooo yea; things are looking up I suppose? We'll be doing a few more tests the rest of today.

P.S. 10k forum members, WOOT?

P.S.S. Those stupid vanilla death messages will be removed soon.

Good job Vaq, the lag was rather unbearable and thanks for looking into stopping the death messages, everyone seems to be hitting the ground, poor ground, cant even defend itself. Thanks as always. :)

I'm still wondering what people find so attractive I can't see myself hitting on it tbh maybe it should get its parents?

Rejoices! The lag has been vanquished by a knight with a keyboard!

Autoclicker you say? Someone deserves to have their @ss handed to them...

Thank god it's over, the lag was making the server unplayable (although I continued to play) but now I can rejoice and play as it once was :D

"I don't usually kill people, but when I do, it's innocent bystanders who didn't expect to be randomly selected by a lunatic killer who just decided 'it's their lucky day to die' and walks up on them and decides to kill them (role-played of course) then goes into a large, unnecessary monologue like the one your are, probably regrettably, reading until the person being attacked is able to retaliate and kill the deranged lunatic... *breath*"

xD

Anyway, great job Vaq. +over9000 everything-that-is-worth-anything-of-value-to-you
