New high spec test dedi

Hi all have started this new thread as old one was getting abit long http://www.mohaaaa.co.uk/AAAAMOHAA/content/lag-across-dedis

I have started to build the new test dedi will do my best to get this up tonight - There will be extra lag on old dedi2 while I try to update the files to the new test dedi bare with me ((

For those not up to speed...................

Due to the lag on the Current Dedi2 and Dedi3 and despite up grading dedi2 we were still unable to to resolve the lag issues to a standard we expect from AAAA

Both myself and GD have spent a lot of time on this and could not capture the problem that was causing it.....

GD have very kindly given me access to a high spec server that would be in our existing budget if we merged both dedi2 and dedi3 - on top of that GD have doubled the memory on this test box for free.

So the plan is to merge both dedi2 and 3 on this new test server and then see how we are............

I need to make a lot of changes on the dedi2 setup as it will be on a new IP for the test - I then need to manually import all dedi3 servers to it as well as they are on a different IP and backup

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again

Re: New high spec test dedi

Hi all well sorry for delay on test server but I am using my mobile so connection pain full - here is what I have managed so far-:

Dedi2 old has been created on the new TEST server - NOTE this is just a test !!! but for it to work as a test you must stress test !!!!

The new test server now has all dedi2 servers on it - all access id's and passwords will work but here are the details -:

SCAPP http://109.70.149.47:8081/AAAA2server/login.html same id and pass

ftp 109.70.149.47 same id and pass

MOHAA servers - Same port but ip 109.70.149.47

I have not tested any so may have missed some firewall rules let me know !!!

I will start manually setting up the dedi3 servers as soon as I can so for now its just all dedi 2 109.80.148.92 now has test servers

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again

Re: New high spec test dedi
Solomony: Went on a test on the new ( test server ) and things seems to be same as original one ( when it's not laging ) I got around 20 players over there, and things were stable ( still having that lag spikes in the beginning of a round, but that's okey to live with if it would be about this only ). 1 hour 2 min ago

Thanks for feed back Solomony................

What I need to know from all on dedi2 is what we are gaining from this test server............

The test server is high spec and at present no Teamspeak and no website and only a few servers this should be perfecto !!! so this is what I am saying is the lag issues need to be resolved and what I am saying its NOT hardware !!! I also think its NOT network !!! the root cause I think is combination of additional mods and patches.............

So for example Solomony can you see any bennefot from this test server over the existing ?

I will try and get dedi3 setup on the test server as soonas I can so the other clans can test also

This test is VERY important - if the majority see a bennefit from this new test server then we will change over - if we dont then I dontsee the point although it is a verygood server within our budget - what I aim to prove is that the core game servers without say TS and the website should be amazing but so its very important that this test is used to its max to prove the existing dedi2 / 3 is under spec........... a case that I dont think is the cause............

Re: New high spec test dedi

Just to add to above - what I dont what to see is say a clan saying thanks AAAA but we are moving our servers to another host because of lag and you end up paying more but end up with the same problem - the whole point of AAAA is to give a service that is second to none but none profit and we work together but for the life of me I cant find the problem which is why I am pointing at the mods and patches...........

An example is the Mega Base assault - It is one of the most modded servers and as a result it is not possible to run the reborn patch - its no fault of the reborn patch or the Base assault mod but both together is impossible..................

I guess if this test fails then I would ask a clan to show me a server running better else where so we can learn from it and find a soloution...........

Re: New high spec test dedi

Ok Thanks again Solomony..........for your issue on round lag start I cant see what changed when we moved from the original DEDI2 to the current - all I can suggest if its a game spoiler is take some mods out one by one just to see if you can narrow it down to see if you can trace cause - I can copy pak files over thetop and perhaps replace the Reborn binaries but other than that cant think what would cause it ((

I have now manually setup all dedi3 servers on the new test server so for access to the new test server same as above SCAPP http://109.70.149.47:8081/AAAA2server/login.html same id and pass your server ip will be 109.70.149.47 same port - any problems let me know I may have missed some firewall rules.

NOTE for dedi3 admins SCAPP is all setup BUT I have not setup FTP yet as its just a test and would have to setup each account manually as I have already imported the other dedi2 users so cant import again as it would overwrite so untill I know that we are going to keep this test dont see any point.

If the clans could ask WOV and MADDOGZ to also now test their server on this test server also very keen to see WOV results as they were getting lag a lot on theirs

Re: New high spec test dedi

Hi all I cant keep this new test server long - the basics are if you all find it better then it would stay and we would shut down dedi2 and 3

For the IP's If we stay on the new server I would say stay with the new IP - I could get GD to change to either the dedi2 or dedi3 IP but kind of think if its working great as is stay with this new IP I know its a pain changing sites and bookmarks..............

Having said If we changed it to dedi2 IP then that would cover a lot of servers and all The TS3's so less impact on changeover - would just imact the servers on dedi 3

If you come back and say well we dont see any difference and you are still getting lag well then it is a case of the patch and mods been to much on the MOHAA build IMO..........................

Re: New high spec test dedi

i use HLSW which gives a graph showing the server ping over time

when in the server my ping was 32 / 33 and i had no trouble

Re: New high spec test dedi

Hi all ok done some testing as well and spoke to a few of you not all but I am looking to now proceed to move dedi2 and dedi3 to the new test server............

Currently it has only 4gb of memory I have asked GD to increase this to at least 6gb if not 8gb

What will happen then is the new test dedi IP will change to the existing dedi2 IP which will mean the existing TS and MOHAA servers on DEDI2 will not be effected by the change over.

For Dedi3 users this will mean an IP Change from 109.70.148.37 to 109.70.148.92

When we are at a position to change over I will let you know

Re: New high spec test dedi

Hi all ok spoke with GD they are going to upgrade this server to 8gb for the same price so at some point they will take the test server down to upgrade it - once this is done we will start to go live on this server.

Re: New high spec test dedi

I dont think the route cause of some of the lag experienced the last few weeks was a cause of hardware but their will be great benefit from this upgrade.

GD have updated me today to advise they are hoping to get the memory upgrade completed on Friday but they need to mage sure the memory is matched first so they may have to order it will keep you posted............

I dont want to move over to the new test server and then have to take it down again for the upgrade at a later date so will hold out for this upgrade first.

Re: New high spec test dedi

Hi all we are still waiting on the order of the memory upgrade but we are now preparing to go live on the new test dedi by going live with the existing dedi2 109.70.148.92 - so the IP will be moved to the test dedi. Please keep checking here as this may happen today!!!

Server would be down approx 30mins all being well when we move the IP
