When everyone there are only three people on, the lag almost completely goes away, but when we have nine to twelve people on, we get laggy again. Our recent popularity is killing us. In desperation, I'm going to try some more things with my PowerPC computer. As usual, it will probably fail, but if this succeeds, we should be able to get speeds up to normal again.

0gb, hopefully you get this fixed up soon, cecause the lag is getting worse, when there is ever just 1 person on the server there is lag, and alot of jump lag, sometimes so bad you can't even build.

0gb maybe it is some of your code of the mods you added (abms) i will look at it later. also you should take out uneccesary files such as 0gb_us_points and make the server mod be an edited version(landclaim)

I added zero ABMs. We use only the ABMs present in minetest_game. If I remember correctly, that's a total of five ABMs. One for furnaces, one for leaf decay, and three for fire.

The points are not unnecessary. Public warp points (which are being planned) will likely cost a ton of ore points. There's also the possibility that private warp points and land claims will be made cost as well.

The lag didn't start when I added some new code, either. We were using the same code we've always been using. I'm working on getting us switched over to the new server, but do to that server already being used for something and irlicht rejecting the new server's operating system, it's a little complicated. I'm switching it over to Debian, but that means figuring out how to configure Debian to handle all the tasks once handled by OS X. Even after the switch, the new server's PowerPC processor may foil our plans, and not work for Minetest.

Ok thanks for clearing things up. Also dont make private warp points cost stuff since they are not anyone elses

Most likely, I will not, but a cost would still make sense. A cost would keep the number of warp points down, and warp points do take memory and disc space. The only reason I'd be likely to add a cost to warp points is if claims are abused, as I'd have to add a cost to them anyway, so I might as well add the cost to both.

i hjave a request. could you make one free and temporary warp point that only changes like your inventory_warp mod

I would like to start a facebook/google+ group that can co-ordinate outside of this thread and in-game. I can make the google+ because i use that almost exclusively, johnscott.weddington@gmail.com if you're wondering.

If the cost is added, then no. But if all goes well, unlimited warp points will remain free.

In other news, all tests have gone very well. If I can get to the physical server tomorrow, I'll be able to make the switch. Whether or not I can access the server tomorrow on the other hand, is another story.

After blowing a hard drive, we managed to get the new server up. However, now that the old weak server isn't holding us back, my internet connection has become the limiting factor. There's nothing I can do about this for the time being. At least the lag has been greatly reduced, even though we couldn't eliminate it.

0gb said that he doesn't like bodily contact.

That's the weirdest thing ... The server is still up, but I can't even connect to it via its local network address any more. This isn't good.

Is there a firewall running on that computer? Are you able to ping it? Does the server have multiple network cards?
