October 15th Changelog

Sorry for the delay, I have been really fucking sick the past week so not much has been done but I will try some things just to confirm the issue is with custom class playermodels.

Added back all Custom Class models
Added new VIP Job Master Chief (I luv halo)
Added rules for Master Chief
Lowered Printer and Bitminer output by another 15%

I am currently working on a Holloween update so stay tuned. This should be done within the next 2 - 3 days.

Edit: I also just realized that last time I "nerfed" the printers, I actually buffed them. I must over overlooked it and kinda though the lower the print speed = longer to print so everything was fast as fuck. Fixed now

October 13, 2015

Ocotber 13th Changelog

Issue still persists with playermodel crashes which is most likely due to a new VIP model added in. I will revert some changes and change some playermodels in the VIP category to some models made by trusted people. If the issue STILL persists, I will remove all models in the VIP and Custom Class category. But to speed some things up and get things rolling, all VIP models and really old custom class models will be in game, if your model is missing then just wait a day or two while I wrap some things up.

Changed Batman -> Indiana Jones (best I could find)
Changed Nation's Agent model
Changed Enclave model
Fixed Gabe texture issue
Fixed Teletubby texture issue
Fixed Hackphone (seriously this time)
Fixed Dlogs Job Change / Connection logs (forgot to add a hook back)
Added GMOD Legs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changed SWAT model (46MB -> 6.7mb)

October 11, 2015

Add better weapons :D I found this addon and it just so happens to be made by the same guy that made the weapons we use now, same base and everything! It's exactly the same idea except it's CS:GO weapons, only big difference other than it's cs:go and not source is that the weapons have the inspect animation when you hit c and shows it's stats instead of just showing it's staff and turning it a bit. This was posted literally yesterday, I pulled each one out today and texted them and didn't get any errors. Only problem I saw was if you reload/jump/inspect at the same time with a certain pistol you can see the end of the hand texture.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=533104097
(this one sadly you need the textures too, it links you to them from this page)

Also staying with the cs:go theme I found this addon also that is all the cs:go knives in one, literally all. Not stattraks though, just every skin/knife combination. Looks cool and I would defiantly pay $5 to have some shadow daggers added to my class if you had them added.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=506283460

These are actually pretty nice. The only issue is that I am very picky about file sizes. Here are some pros and cons going to this set of weapons besides default CSS:

Pros:

All CSGO guns
Better models
Different sounds
Client-side StatTrak
Inspecting the weapon

Cons:

Very big in file size. We run default models with custom sounds which in total leaves us with less than 30mb for the weapons we use now. This is 320MB in total
Seems to be a little glitchy. I used the AUG and it crashed my game due to spamming lua errors and fucked up my game
Would require work to swap over shipments, custom classes, regular jobs / vip jobs, ect. (Which is not too big of a con)

In the end, its like a 50 / 50. We don't want big file sizes so people have to wait to download all of our content. Plus more models = more cache = less FPS on some computers. Although the StatTrak is really nice I don't know if it really outweighs the cons. I am not too sure though.

I'm suggesting a better lottery system for the mayor, and the people. And also if possible a mayor grace period of 1-5 minutes.

I can probably do this. Are you saying the Mayor should have kinda like a period where they cannot be killed? Like when voted in?

October 11, 2015

October 12th Changelog

In an attempt to remove the playermodel crashes, I have to do a vague test of removing 1 of 3 categories of playermodels. Public job models, VIP job models or Custom class job models. I am going to remove all custom class models for this reset and replace them with generic models since they were one of the last additions before the crashing started. If you're a custom class owner and your class is missing, your model will be back.

Removed Custom class models

-----------------------------------------------------------

Removed sleep function
Fixed hackphone

October 10, 2015

Ocotber 10th Changelog

Removal of some custom playermodels to prevent the crashes, should be fixed on the next crash. If your class was affected, I will contact you and let you know whats up.

Removed Our Lord and Savior playermodel
Removed Alloy playermodel
Removed Robot playermodel
Removed Skaarj playermodel
Added back VIP job models

If the server still crashes after this, I will look into it more.

October 9, 2015

October 9th Changelog

Some lua error fixes and another curious fix for some rare crashes

Fixed server side lua error with people joining and attempting to project information
Fixed iron man swep making an error while "idle"
Removed all VIP job models for this reset. I want to see if it crashes or not (since the issue we are having is a playermodel one)
Added a News Camera man job
Added Bus Driver job
Modified file to allow mods and up to pick up cars
Fixed a startup error

October 5, 2015

October 5th Changelog

Some fixes and probably some balancing here and maybe a small curious optimization.

Lowered printer output by 15%
Lowered bitcoin output by 15%
Increased all default shipment costs by 5%
Removed NLR zones
Fixed Dlogs not projecting some information
Made a small script to print to your screen who left + their steamID in chat

October 2, 2015

October 2nd Changelog

We may of fixed the FPS drop. After some testing, I think we have it. Its actually the chat box! I have some proof here and I won't get too in depth with the whole issue but we will switch off of it and see what happens.

Here is an initial frame test:

Here it is with the chat flooded. Note, that I left it here for around 3 minutes and it never recovered my lost frames.

http://i.imgur.com/39Yzld2.jpg[/img]

Changelog:

New Chatbox
Nerfed Electron Accelerator right click
Added back NLR
Added back Cinema
Fixed bank

I will see if I can get some new content into the server tomorrow morning too!

October 1, 2015

October 1st Changelog

Some balancing. Still working on the FPS issue

Removed impact and force which causes penetration through props on TFA sweps
Removed penetration from some CSGO guns on the M9K base
Removed Skull Smasher. I thought this needed to be here

Please let me know if anything else should be changed / balanced.

September 30, 2015

September 30th Changelog

One of the addons that actually caches something and noticeably drops FPS in the theater. I will have to remove it for this reset as I am curious to see what happens. I also disabled a workaround check for some wire entities which called a timer every tick.

Removed Theater (Temp)
Removed Workaround check
Disabled gas shooting on all clients
Removed some more think and tick functions in addons that don't need them

September 29, 2015

September 29th Changelog

One addon that spikes memory and lowers FPS is the NLR System we have. As of right now, I am going to remove it from the game since I will try removing every addon one by one to see if the actual clientside FPS leak stops.

Removed NLR

September 28, 2015

September 28th Changelog

Fixed corrupt shipments (forgot to change it off the alt tfa weapons)
Lowered WaveData cache by around 30 mb hopefully. This may fix frame drop after x time in the server
Fixed a missing model with lightsabers
Removed some playermodels that are poorly rigged

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WaveData Changelog

Removed Snoop Weapon 3.23mb
Removed Sonic Sounds from swep 4.5mb
Removed drinking and eating sounds from food 8mb
Removed startup ironman song .6 mb
Removed "Yes" from falcon punch .22mb
Replaced Axe sound for RE5 giant axe ??
Removed all but 1 hunter pounce sound .5mb
Removed poop eat sound .6mb
Removed grub voice from RO2 weapons .4mb
Removed monkey bomb song .5mb
Replaced sound on SG550 .75 mb
Replaced sound on AK47 .6mb
Replaced sound on mp5 .5mb
Replaced all sounds on Angry Hobo Swep 3.5mb
Replaced sound on g3sg .25mb

Removed all but one quacking sound .3mb
Looking to entirely remove saber loop sounds 1.2mb - 2.0mb //done

Total saved at this point

-------------------------

26.4mb +- .5mb of WaveData Cache

Since source limits us at 64MB, this CAN be a reason why FPS dips because the engine is trying to cache more and more and we are just hitting its limit. Unfortunately, I do not know if this is a 100% fix but its worth trying right?

September 27, 2015

September 27th Changelog

Replaced BLogs with DLogs
Changed announcements on the MOTD to accommodate the latest changelog
Claimed server to log time
Monitoring resource values on test server to see what spikes what memory

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Removed Tyrone's HUGE MODELS, I HATE YOU TYRONE (Saved 230mb of space)
Removed "Cop" weapons. (Saved 70mb of space)
Removed an extra 4 workshop addons
Disabled client side gas effects for guns (will help fps)
Removed bad file paths

September 26, 2015

September 26th Changelog

To dive deeper into this frame drop issue, we have to try removing some things that are intensive for the client and the server to handle. I will also be removing some recent playermodels as one of them is crashing the server. I will notify you if your model is removed.

Temporarily removed Spiderman's SWEP (this swep only thinks every frame which is 16 times a second. 5 people flying around on a spiderman gun at once is calling 80 sequences of over 150 lines of code per second. So yes, this swep is insane.) I will replace this for the time being until its confirmed it has nothing to do with it. This swep also creates lua errors for the server and client which is bad
Removed some custom models. Some are not correctly set up on the valve bipded and causes issues with crashing
Removed laser jetpack for another force emitter, same thing that will be replaced with spiderman gun (more thinking)
Removed another 20 think functions on sweps /entities / effects
Added a crazy physics catcher
Added DBugr for the next reset

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Removed DBugr
Removed more models that are rigged weird

Because I am getting agitated with the whole FPS issue, I will be running a profile tomorrow and debugger on my test server to find the real source of the issue

September 25, 2015

September 25th Changelog

Added a 15 minute grace period for when a new mayor is voted in

September 25, 2015

ok ok, i have a idea for the mayor i think he should have a grace period ( a x amount of time he cant be killed when becoming mayor) this would allow him to enjoy his or her time being mayor and allowing them to actually add laws and roleplay instead of switching to mayor and being killed Ex.)

Billy bob Has become mayor.
Billy bob places laws.
Old man jenkins- aww shit i don't like these laws
Old man jenkins- /advert VIVA LA REVOLUTION
Billy bob- is really mad and spooked so he goes to hide But its to late Old man jenkins has already killed him.
Old man Jenkins- heck YEAH- fuck da police
Billy bob- :( i was only mayor 5 min's

see this is the best way to explain it, most mayors have time to do NOTHING! becuase alot of people dont like rules so i say you add a grace period for mayor

Sure, I can add an immunity grace period for the mayor. Say like 15 minutes before anyone can call a revolution on you? This still does not make you immune to hits and what not.

September 25, 2015

September 25th Changelog

Decreased head bobbing and gun sway on TFA weapons
Lowered recoil by a small amount
Increased damage by all guns by 1.3x

Changed MoTD temp
Added back Hit Numbers
Added server information to the forums

I am still looking into the low fps after x minutes. The issue will be solved soon, I can FEEL it

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally going to be trying an Awesomium replacement because I feel the client fps drop may be in there.

also crt smells like SHIT

September 24, 2015

September 24th Changelog

Fixed more models
Enabled some resources to be downloaded alternatively
Disabled HUD until its confirmed its not caused a client leak

If something is broken or not functioning properly, please let me know!

September 23, 2015

I think that the downtown map that we have is getting stale, so why dont we add a map thats just a different or extended version of downtown?

Yeah, https://garrysmods.org/download/1452/rp-downtown-winter-v2 (ik its the same map but with snow, but it looks cool, right?)

Changing the map results in a playerbase drop. Since we just moved hosts and we need to gain a new community, this is 100% impossible.

September 23, 2015

September 23rd Changelog

Dragon Warrior -> Link
Jesus -> Preacher
Removal of Hooker
Removal of Terry Crews

September 23, 2015

September 23rd Changelog

We moved hosts and fixed a lot of issues. Please let me know if you find something missing or not working! There was some data lost such as ulx groups, people in those groups, perks, cars and inventories. This is kinda a fresh start but you will still have your money and of course custom classes if you have one. I will be re-promoting people back to their rightful group, please give me a day or so to sort everything out.

Enabled the logging of server side lua errors, this may help us with memory leaks
Fixed some of the remaining lua errors still lingering in the server
Updated the job names on the rules page for some jobs
I am currently working on displaying the game server and TS server on the front page of the forums, our webhost has some ports blocked though
Removed hooker mod

Later today I will be updating custom class info and I may make a FAQ since it would help newer players when looking for a server they want to be in.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added Party System
Added Damage Mod system
Fixed some models and rendering issues
Fixed some clientside and server side errors

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added some weapons to default classes (Hobo lord comes to mind)
Fixed investor so all jobs can use it
Fixed unboxing to an updated version
Fixed some models that were errors

September 21, 2015

September 21st Changelog

I will try and make this fast, I just closed this whole tab by accident.

I have been combating memory leaks by doing a ton of tests. Most tests were inconclusive and I was unable to really effect my test server by a lot. Here are some things I found though.

Memory leaks:

Full server: 42 clients
All citizens, no movement for 2 hours
All addons, no AC
Starting FPS: 95 - 101
Starting Memory used: 850MB

Full server: 42 clients
All custom jobs, no movement
Uptime: 3 hours
All addons, no AC
Starting FPS: 95 - 100
Memory Used: 433MB (means there was a ton of cleanup)

Full Server: 42 clients
All custom jobs, moving around
All addons, no AC
Equipped with every weapon in the game
2 sets of Meth Spawned
600 Props, 4 of every bit miner
Warning a bot every x seconds
Every car spawned on the map
FPS After 30 min: 30 - 45
Memory Used: 900MB - 1000MB

Reasons for memory to go up:

People dying
People walking
People building
People spawning
(Basically any action in the game can do this)

To combat this here are some changes:

Removed 10,000+ data files that were being cached in the server and possibly being sent to the client
Disabled M9K Gas Convar
Updated DarkRP
Updated ULX / ULib
Disabled some timers in DarkRP which tick every server frame
Lowered server slots from 50 to 42
New logging system which is 100% than my modified Dlogs that was hanging on by a thread

In short, we will most likely have to start removing a lot of addons. Unless this issue is strictly linux, some changes will have to be made. My personal guess is that its M9K weapons. I will probably do a 1 day change from M9K to CSS to see how people like it and to see if anything changes, if not, we can go back. No problem. Also, once I am back home, I will fix most of the lua errors for client side errors which will most likely help since those are cached.

Some addons that I would love to try removing is

M9K Weapons
Hooker Mod (tons and tons of functions for such a small impact)
Stock system since it pulls from the Yahoo Finance API every 3 minutes, it probably caches everything on your system

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some updated information

The test server and dedicated server have around a 40fps difference from each other for some reason. Don't ask why, I don't know
I have cleaned up a lot of client side errors such as the popcorn spam, spiderman gun famous "attachment" error and me removing the hooker mod
I am currently redoing all packs for weapons

Errors should now be little to none for the client, I have to enable server side errors again and see if anything is coming up there.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since the server has been down for 4 hours because of some unknown reason, I have done a ton of work on redoing ALL packs. We are now down another 400MB which is awesome. Because this is such a large downtime, I am going to switch M9K to TFA CSS weapons for this reset. I will have a backup of everything but for the case of getting rid of M9K for beautiful TFA which will save us another 600MB, we should at least try it.

M9K -> TFA (Possibly Temp if everyone is really angry)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Done. Here are the results.

I have erased over half of the server content that was unused and turned M9K weapons into the beautiful TFA weapons. I hope you guys like them! I will be monitoring server performance and client performance. I hope it helped. (Don't mind that only 90 files were removed, that's scripts, not GMA's)

I have also worked on how much cache is stored

September 20, 2015

judge gaben can like have a judge and a lawyer job so itl make it more fun

We used to have that but unfortunately, downtown does not really support a court or anything like it so it would be rather difficult.

September 20, 2015

Shamefully bumping this thread. The reason the server does not get too many changelogs / updates is because there is not too much to work on. Name anything from jobs, fixes, features, something removed.

Nothing is really going on in the server except me trying to find sources for client side memory leaks that eats fps until you reconnect

September 13, 2015

September 13th Changelog

Due to some very rare crashes revolving in some textures having issues with envmaptint, here are some small changes.

Changed Batman model
Changed Nanosuit model
Changed Bloods and Crips models to the ones with animations
