your mod only lags when the client number gets over a certain amount.. so your threads are to expensive or you are running to many of them - for instance, if they arent stopping when a client dies and continue and then re-load again and again. I told you what to do, set cvars that control what threads can run, then when your server starts lagging, shut each thread down 1 by 1 until the lagging stops. You will then know what thread causes the problem and can find a way to fix it. Even with wait 0.05; threads can still cause lag when many of them run - I have been through this all before myself.

Well i think i'm just running a lot of thread in a frame. But i don't know how to avoid that......

I'm almost sure the problem is that. Because it lags when a"lot" of people are killing in same time (so it runs like 2-3 threads for each player after each kill lol).

So can someone explain me how to run threads in different frames please ?

Thanks.

Ok what i did is disabling all my scripts from the Paulus Zom Mod, and there is still high cpu usage (30% with 20-25 players, like when my mod is ON)....So i start thinking that the problem isn't from my script at all...but what's left ? Paulus Zom Mod ? Many servers use it without any problem. Weapon Mod ? I tried 2 different one. Skins ? With or without, same result....


So what could be wrong here and make server to lag ?

PS : BraX, whats the point in telling me to add you when you never answer on xfire ?

Actually, BraX checked my script and told me to increase all the "wait .05" to wait .1 because with a lot of people it'll make high cpu usage which is logic. I did it...and it wasn't ok. I even increase all the wait to wait .3......and still high cpu usage.

To get my problem solved fast, i'll pay 5$ to the guy who will solve this error (i'm tired of this......searching for days, can't find whats wrong).

My xfire : bijeeh

Hmm, what i did is replacing my _zom.gsc file (that is server side) by _zom.gsc from paulus mod. And i had a weird cpu usage (6-7% with 6-7 players). So the problem can be from my aaaZ file. I'll attach it here, if someone want to take a look :



EDIT : Well i'm now sure its not from my custom mod. Because i had a high cpu usage (80-90%) with 35 players, like with my mod ON.

I got two iwds (as a mod) on my server (aaaZ90.iwd and z___weap.iwd) and one iwd for skins...(but skins are fine, because with or without, same result).

The aaaZ90.iwd is almost same as Paulus mod. What i modified is zom.gsc to :

main()
{	
	thread maps\mp\gametypes\_zom::main();
}

_zom.gsc is server side.

And i added some "images", "materials", "xmodel", "xmodelparts", "xmodelsurfs".

I did same thing for z___weapon.iwd and i added some files also in "weapons" folder.

(up)

I enabled developer (set to 2) and developer_script on my server with 36 people, and i see this :



It keeps saying that, what does it means please ?

Forgot to answer you. I did that and it didn't change anything : Cpu Usage didn't change after killing threads.

Hey guys, help please

I'll pay 5$ (with paypal) to the guy who'll help me to solve this issue (most weird issue ever seen -,-)

PS : About the screen above its normal. When someone is downloading a file, it shows writing block, etc...

Looks like you don't have a download redirect, which means that files come straight from the server at ~10KB/s max, this puts extra load on the server.

Also, if you're running the server from your own computer (which is looks like you are, since you got a screenshot of the console), then the reason you are getting lag when going above a certain number of players is becuase your net connection is being maxed out and can no longer deliver (or receive) all the data to/form the clients fast enough.
