Observation

the code for missiles is 100% clean
there is nothing that can be fixed there

oh and no1 was going to ignore you... we were just assuming that you have ur usual chat lag so we were going to reply a few days later

yeah - looks like there is another prob with them... the ship models seem to be fine then

i need to do some more tests on this

btw. the server is back on normal processing and i enabled dll unloading this morning
maybe that will help to get rid of the memory leak

and i did tests with flhook and you were right - it really causes a high amount of memory load
i was thinking about a solution of this problem and came up with the idea to change the server to an opteron 175 (for the same prize)
that one has more ram and is dual core
so i was speculating with the idea to run flhook and all other processes on the 1st core and fl on the 2nd core
there are only 2 probs
1. ive no idea how to do this and if this really will help to raise the performance
2. flhook does not run on a seperated process so im not sure if this is even possible

well that means the new server wont help much with that issue

hmmm
but im still interested in that
maybe the hardware experts can help out here a bit since im only good informed about those things when i buy a new PC

currently the server runs on an opteron 148 2gb ram
optional to this there would be a opteron 175 available with a bit more hdd space and 4gb ram

the 148 is a single core cpu
the 175 is a dual core cpu
both run with 2.2gh which is ok - not good but ok

assuming we would change the server and assuming im able make a deal with the host again that we dont have to pay the 100 setup fee... would a change of the server be any good?
more performance?
very likely FLserver wont really gun good on 2 cores so there would be the need to assign it either to core 1 or core 2
or did anyone hear that fl does run on both cores? and if so would fl run with more "processing power"?
assuming FL would only run on one core i believe all other services could run on the other then? if so the "fl core" get more free capacities?
has someone experiences with that kind of stuff?

@haegar
that means that there is no way to seperate that stuff into 2 processes? (just asking)
and whats that with those arrays?

@saxxon
ive just read that stuff
and it looks like an old version of FLhook doesnt cause this problem
i will test this
if it is true it would be interesting to know the differences of those 2 versions because they seem cause the high load
i did tests yesterday and the serverload was about 80-100msec
when i turned off flhook the load was reduced down 30-35 (and that is a big difference and very likely our main problem with the lag atm)
when i activated flhook again the serverload increased

this morning i activated dll unloading on the server and the memory usage of FLserver stayed at about 80mb (usually it does raise to about 200-230mb)
it looks like this does prevent the normal memory leak that fl has
but the serverload was still a bit high (not many ppl were online)
so im not sure about this

well currently im running flhook 1.4.2 on the server for testing purposes
it will take some time with more players online to see real results

ok the flhook1.4.2 really seems to work better

i started and unloaded it again several times without that there was a big change to the serverload

thx - ill try to work a bit on the server meanwhile
maybe i can reduce the cpu load a bit
