Title: To the Crack Server owner/s
Post by: desertgrave on July 01, 2013, 09:39:53 AM
I don´t want to play with "Carbine" or something like this on your PGP-Server!
The map rotation is also not well.
I think Shazam33 is to fast for a PGP Server.
pp1 is also not the best map for the PGP Sever

 Change the settings!


Sorry for my bad English. I hope you understand me

I think so too!
The rotation should be updated. I am working on a pgp-map, I'll publish it in one/two weeks, if you like it you can upload it. But please remove things like rally or shaz33

Hey crack server owners, I was wondering if you can change the ping limit to 215 because I get kicked for having 203 ping every time...

Nah make it 400 so i don't get kicked

So I just went to test it and I had no lags, not on the PGP and neither on the speed server. Probably I don't need to tell you that I won't be able to fix a problem that i cannot see myself. Checked the log files, there is one thing that may cause a stuttering in game which looks like this:

[18:24:29] WARNING: msg overflowed for (=JACKLER=).
[18:24:29] SZ_GetSpace: overflow
[18:24:29] WARNING: msg overflowed for (=JACKLER=).
[18:24:29] SZ_GetSpace: overflow
[18:24:29] WARNING: msg overflowed for (=JACKLER=).
[18:24:29] SZ_GetSpace: overflow
[18:24:29] WARNING: msg overflowed for (=JACKLER=).
[18:24:30] *czech_sniper (Carbine) eliminated *HakunaVickyMatata (Carbine).
[18:24:30] SZ_GetSpace: overflow
[18:24:30] WARNING: msg overflowed for (=JACKLER=).
[18:24:30] SZ_GetSpace: overflow
[18:24:30] WARNING: msg overflowed for (=JACKLER=).
[18:24:30] SZ_GetSpace: overflow
[18:24:30] WARNING: msg overflowed for (=JACKLER=).
[18:24:30] SZ_GetSpace: overflow
[18:24:30] WARNING: msg overflowed for (=JACKLER=).
[18:24:30] SZ_GetSpace: overflow

This happens sometimes (and for different players) but surely not every 5 seconds - and I probably will not be able to fix that without jitspoe's help.
The pingtimes of all the european players on it were normal, but I noticed that there were many people with a high distance (means americans) and therefore a high ping.
Maybe i need to check at a different time? When exactly did you experience the problem? May be a hoster problem - but the TS-Server we are hosting has no noticeable lags and I'm pretty sure you would notice it when the complete server lags every 5 seconds.

I hopped on briefly and noticed there was a little bit of packet loss.  I'm guessing this is worse when people are complaining about it.  It probably has to do with your network provider.  I'm not sure what you can do about it other than to call them up and complain.

Post by: BASEBALLDUDE on November 08, 2013, 08:34:27 PM
Remove aldi_s. People don't like it.

On the speed server, add discovery, freedom, ub_rooftop, and nhb. nhb is an ancient map but it is really good and deserves a comeback.

cRacK' The Speed - Remove pp1 (the "easy" version) and replace it with the regular propaint1.
I like the idea of adding more rotation though :)

Had nothing to do with "pp1" vs "propaint1" but with a .ent file. Fixed it.

Just a request, could you try putting either overhang_b10 or jungle_b1 on the server for like 2 days? :) I'd like to see how they play and if people like them. (Both my maps)

I thought you were done with both those maps. There isn't really that much to jungle, but overhang is really good. You should make a final release if gameplay is good and no bugs are found.

I never meant it like that. I just thought because there was an easy version of "propaint1" in your server. Thanks for fixing though. :)

i have to check that richard, but i dont think i get that message.

my internet is fine, and i have normal ping and no lags on otb,  village 24/7, europa, artic, and others...so i dont really know why the problems are only on crack server's

and i guess i will stop playing on crack servers, cause atm they suck...i bet they are only for germans and not euro people. intercourse crack server's

There was the idea to shut down all speed servers to make the public ones more popular again. That's why nearly all speed servers are down.

I Agree. Force shutdown em all! Btw, crack is fine for a 200 pinger for euro server like me. I mostly get 100 to american servers.
Title: Re: To the Crack Server owner/s

Either I'm blind or there's nothing that's limiting at all ;).
I'm trying to fix the lag problem, but I just can not trace it down. Jitspoe told me that it's probably just packet loss and probably the hosters fault, but we are also running a Teamspeak server on the same server and it just never lags noticeably. No packet loss, my ping is constantly at 17. And for sure I can't blame the hoster when there is a server application running flawlessly without noticeable connection problems. My next try would be to just completely delete and redownload pb2 - but everytime im online there are always some people playing and I don't want to interrupt them...

i dont get that message richard.
I didn't say that YOU get the message, that is a part of the serverlog / servers console output. The GetSpace overflow error may be involved into the lag problem. I just posted it here so maybe someone can give me an answer of what is wrong or can be done about it.

I Agree. Force shutdown em all! Btw, crack is fine for a 200 pinger for euro server like me. I mostly get 100 to american servers.
It's not forced, I (and probably T3RR0R15T also) did that because I was / we were asked politely ;).

Your other processes may be slowing your Paintball 2 servers. Check your "nice" settings (I install and use "htop" for this.) Set the values to -20 (minus 20) to give the PB2 servers highest CPU priority.

That would be nice, but there's still BillBrasky's servers you gotta shutdown too ;)

Just checked on ServerBrowser - half of the open (non-match) servers have a respawn time of 10 seconds or less. There are a lot of speed servers out there.

I also run the Public USA/Public Europa servers with 20-second spawn times, which I feel is a good compromise and enjoy playing. However, they are not used much.

Like it or not, you gotta give the people what they want.

The other good thing I've noticed happening is that siege is gaining popularity. This means that paintballers are opening up to new things. Also, siege is one death and YER OUT!!! If people don't mind that, they won't have much trouble adjusting to longer elim times I imagine.
Title: Re: To the Crack Server owner/s
Post by: LaZeRs on November 18, 2013, 04:11:34 PM
Siege USA was really popular a few months ago, but people don't seem to go on it as much. I mean, they still do, but not as often.
But Siege Europa's open, and I see over 10 people (usually) on that server.
So yeah, Siege has had popularity before, but then kinda lost it, but is gaining it again.

PB2 is a Euro game. I bet 70% of public server players are in Europe.

Internet access from the U.S. to Europe has gotten worse. Pings to Germany often are over 150. It's tough to play in Europe now because the popular sites are laggy 24-to-32-player mega servers.

I set up 16-player Speed Europa and Public Europa in England hoping to attract both U.S. and Euro players. Both are little used, and I plan to close them.

I've moved my U. S. servers from New York towards the center of the country to attract more West Coast players. We are having some great games late at night now on Speed USA. All are welcome!

I think you guys are going a bit too far off topic.

For the lag problem: I just completely deleted and redownloaded paintball and hope that this helps. A ping (actually, hundreds with an interval of 0.2s) to "dplogin.com" took 102ms and had 0% packet loss while it was lagging ingame, btw.

Be sure to check those "nice" value per my earlier post. If they are set to 0, your PB2 servers are fighting for CPU time with all of your other processes including system logging and cron jobs.

Yet you play on public servers with me almost everyday, and love the map wipa, because you camp and kill every single person you can on that map.

I personally think it's a good thing, but not the only good thing in this game. Having fun in pubs also helps me enjoy this game.

Also, match servers shouldn;t be password protected

Umm... yes they should. Because would you want your match to be invaded by a bunch of other players? I certainly wouldn't. And I'd think alot of other regular matches wouldn't like that either.

And, shawn, please use the modify button when you want to edit or add to your post, so you don't spam the whole thread with one-sentenced posts like that. ;)

I've noticed, thanks! (I'm from West Coast myself) My pings lower ;)
But, yes, you're right, this game is played by alot more Europeans than any other country, even Americans.
And I have noticed more lag on Euro servers on other players, my ping stayed the same.
And while your servers were in New York, Bill, my ping went really high (120-130 range) and I lagged there more than on Crack or OTB or Arctic servers.
I appreciate the move though, it has helped me.

Now, I will stop going off topic, sorry xRichardx.
