Possible solution to the incredible crashyness of the server lately

[leif.ross]

As you may have noticed, the server crashes almost everytime someone joins and there already are other people on, the reason for this is because the lua tables overflow i have heard, so the only solution may be to remove the mining addon + all the stargate stuff except for the gates itself, and if you spawn two gravity regulators and turns them on, that insta crashes the server. maybe cut down alittle on jiam too, or just remove it and just use some prop protection system?
Just my two cents for making the server stable again


(edit edit edit )
maybe set the max wind generator level to 1? they are incredibly laggy, and increase the wire gate number?

I'd say we don't need as much model packs like SBMP, it's pretty useless and requires no imagination or work. And it's more annoying when people spawn shit from public folder and server go dead > Simple solution: Remove "Public Folder" and force people to use private ones and remove the model packs, as there isn't much need to starships bigger than fucking planets >:|

Space build 3 is coded like shit, it always has and always will crash unless someone makes it more stable. SBMP adds to the crashing and so does stargate but if we remove either of them people will demand them back. Our admin mod does not contribute to the server instability either.

As for you Jon, well i've not seen you on any of our servers for some time, how would you know?

[leif.ross]

i agree to the thing with the modelpacks but we need PHX

ls3 is sweet tho, much more realistic than the previous ones.
and maybe increase the gate number? i want to build more advanced small ships but i hit the gate limit everytime.

I use the SBMP ALOT and so do alot of other people. So saying it shouldn't be there is stupid.

I agree that some items should be limited like the wind generator. I personally think if people use a bit of common sense (which people never seem to have) then the crashes would come down in number.

[Blackadder]

kano you are a fool to ask for people to use there common sence you should know that they have none!

I tried joining the Spacebuild server but it kept crashing and was uber laggy :/

Wire gates are small physical objects, unfortunately small doesn't equal less lag. Invest some time into learning Expression 2, it's powerful enough to replace every single gate with just one.

i just want vip sb server back,its best way,on publik y cant do everything,all 5 minutes crash and all your work gone

I'm sure if enough people wanted it, we'd have it back. But before it was left unused and taking up unneeded space.

[AluAlu]

well sometimes it crashes because people try to spawn their ultra-giant base with 23Bagillion Props.

Yeah I agree with Noxy, SB3 was coded horribly, which is why it crashes and all sorts of evil things like that.

However instead of lowering the limit, why not just remove the windmill animation or replace it with something that stays still but looks like it's moving (example: when fan blades are moving very fast, and it looks like they are in all places at once)
