I wounder if ppl can join my server "Spiken's Fun Place" and play some and try out if any lagg is there when there are more then 4+ ppl online and we all have bots up.
I know the Red Planet server have some issues with bots up and causeing some random "LD", and i will see if i have found a fix for the problem and since i cant get hold of Maskoi i have setup a own server to test it out.
Its the same login and account you use on Red Planet, i use same loginserver that is on Maskoi's server.
So if you need an account and dont have one, you have to PM Maskoi and ask him to create one for you.

The DB is ported, so some of you that have played on Red Planet have your chars there, not up to date,think the DB is from last week. So missing some stuff you may have done lately.
Useing same shortname as Red Planet, so your UI files from Red Planet will be used, so no need to redo them and change anything

Thanks for testing, Spiken. Aside from that issue, my problem with the EMU servers so far is the underground mobs. It happens in all zones, but it's pretty rare. I always end up dieing to underground mobs that I can't kill. If you're doing testing, that would be an awesome one to put on the list.

yeah notice it on the other server to.
I think it has something to do, how NPCs pathing.
I was checking some of this, i think you can allow and disallow something, i will take a look into this and see what i find, maybe its something easy to solve
 
Any luck on figuring out what is causing the crashing or a fix. Had 2 accounts with two bots each in Seb tonight and had constant crashing. This was on the original server, not the test one. It was 3 accounts with 3 bots and I left one account logged out and still had the problem, so looking forward to whatever you guys have figured out.
 
how many accounts did you tried at the same time?

2, it was fine with a bot each, no more laggy than a regular server - but again there was just me on it.
I noticed the pathing problem to, bots get stuck in the ground etc especially when warping, but the same is on Red Server.

Overall it was fine for me on this test server - but again only me online as UK based I would be at different times to most I think.

edit; will give it another go later if I get chance

The test server is in Sweden lol

lol, ok ok but I was the only one on, probably works better as I am closer :D
Still I didnt notice any difference with either server, even when running bots, both very smooth and the same lag as playing on normal SOE servers - until I read the part about it being on a normal pc I wouldnt have known.
 
Bots didnt zone when I used the portal stones in POK!! they still showed in the group but they had gone, still no real lag for me

k, thanks for testing.
Have to try to get atleast 4-5 acc in with atleast 1 bot each and see if the odd "LD" issue is there

Can you make it so there are more bots allowed, I would just try more then?
I would use more than one account and keep adding bots.
 
If indeed it is a RAM problem, is there any way we could open donations to possibly maximize the server for RedPlanet to a higher amount?

Not a ram problem The server currently has a constant 800 mb free ram.
 
I ran two accounts with 5 bots each, set up as raid, warped everywhere - it ran great only a small amount of lag but nothing to worry about - great job!

I'm going to try raiding this weekend. My toons are pushing 55+

Raid didnt work as I couldnt get the bots in, but allowed me to have full group of bots then tag on second account for xp - pull and kill with bot group and all get xp
