This does work, as ive used something similiar on my server.
However wouldn't this be better:
function InitFactionWar.tryStartBattle() terminate() ... end
or if you wish to undu this change in the future:
function InitFactionWar.tryStartBattle() do return end ... end
First one isn't the nice way I think imo, do you exactly know which scripts it terminates?
The 2nd one is similar to my script, its only a few less characters. But since this does not touch server performance at all it does not care (watch below). Maybe I'll do the 2nd if there will be any next version, thanks.
Unfortunetly adding more cpu wont increase the performance of the serversee: http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,3448.0.html
Thats true, but the real reason for performance issues is only the network:
http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,3578.0.html
You can also test by the way i told you to finish faction wars (sadly it is not possible to stop them by scripts):
leave a ship in a sector with faction war and jump out, to keep the sector active and wait outside until the defenders win.The sector is still active and calculated by the cpu. But the data must no longer be sent to a client, wich frees network ressources, the lags will stop.

Please make a more detailed description of what exactly happening and what's wrong.

Hello guys,
i made some changes in the "entity/merchants/factory.lua" script to expand stations based on their volume. Just add
function updateProductions() local self = Entity() local newProductions = 2 + (self.volume - (self.volume % 10000)) / 10000 if(maxNumProductions ~= newProductions) then maxNumProductions = newProductions end end
above the update method and add
updateProductions()
in the first line in the update method itself.
You will get more productions cycles in bigger stations. No Name changes jet.

Client & Server?
Server only should do it I think. But you should test it before using on a server.

This can happen if your engineers are below 130% with the added engine. Try this:
Add lot of engines to your ship and get your engineers to 130%. Then remove the engine blocks one by one, and the velocity will reduce with every removed engine block.

I just released a mod to make this more easy.
http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,3638.msg19830.html#msg19830
Wich version of Avorion do you use? This mod is only compatible to Beta >=0.12 yet.
-
Hi,
this small mod disables the initialization of all faction wars. Already running wars keep running til attackers get killed, but no new war will start.
Only tested with Avorion >= 0.12 yet. Use at own risk in lower versions. A version for Avorion 0.11.x maybe coming soon if requested.
What is the reason I'm releasing this mod?
If you play offline, wars between factions are a part of the game. But on a server they just could kill the game by causing huge lags on the whole server.
How to stop already running wars?
If you use Avorion >= 0.12 you could leave a ship in a sector with faction war and jump out, to keep the sector active and wait outside until the defenders win. You could also order your captain to attack the defenders. These wars only causes lags, when a player is IN the sector, but not when an empty player ship/station keeps the sector active.

I don't understand what exactly you need...
This mod adds some missing factories to the game (coal, raw oil and so on):
http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,2686.0.html
This one adds equipment docks, repair docks, research stations and turret factories to the found station menu:
http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,781.0.html
The release version of the last one is only working up to Avorion version 0.11.x. If you use Avorion >= 0.12 you could use a modified Version I offered for download on last page of the mod thread. This one also adds shipyard to the founding menu.
-
I have seen this too. To me it seems that this is happening while generating the sector, so its not easy to reproduce...
-
They changed a lot of things from 0.11 to 0.12. Whatever you try, you should try in the version the galaxy was created with. But to me it sounds like its completely broken...
Killing the server by "Exe has stopped working" does not always kill the whole galaxy, but an Avorion server doesn't like it. Especially when this error is caused by overclocking, some files may be corrupted.
At least you could try to delete the sector where you currently are. When the galaxy is still in version 0.11.x it will cause a lost of everything you had in this sector. But all other sectors will be unaffected. If it works, you will start in drone in your current home sector.
To do this use explorer to get to glaxies-folder\galaxy-name\sectors and delete the 2 files from the sector you are in. Maybe server or client log could tell you where it is.

Deprecated notice
This mod moved into my new mod Ham Galaxy Settings. So updates for this as a standalone mod will stop from now on. Currently it is still compatible with Avorion 0.18.2 though.All features of this mod are ported to the new one, so in future you should use the Galaxy Settings mod instead.
When you reach the end game, got a 15 slot ship and good weapons, fights were to easy to me. Especially the guardian is much too easy to be called endgame boss, even if you play on hardest difficulty. So I started to change this.
This mod makes the boss taller, stronger and he makes much more damage. It also increases his range, so there is almost no chance to outrange him. But it does not spawn when you enter sector 0:0. Instead of the guardian there is only the "Wormhole Scout", wich is almost equal to the vanilla guardian, only its damage is slightly increased. Killing the scout will spawn a beacon, wich can be used to call the Guardian, wich got very much stronger then the vanilla guardian. New players with smaller ships can just kill the scout to farm stuff, the Guardian will only spawn if it is called with the beacon.
- The damage should be about 1 mio ohm in default settings. The displayed value of 4mio ohm is falsified by some balancing calculations and wrong. It makes the fight very interesting, even if you got about 80mio shield.
- His plasma turrets are replaced by pulse cannons, so he is able to hit your hull while your shields are still up (can be disabled).
- Because it got much stronger, the drop rate is slightly increased.
- You can also improve server performance (should not be needed anymore since multithreading update, but will remain in mod though).
You don't like the default balancing of this mod? Then change it by easily editing the settings in the config file:
/mods/GuardianScout/config/GuardianScoutConfig.lua
Remember:
His weapons can drop, that means if you set the reach to 15km, it can sometimes drop weapons with 15km reach, but their damage is very low. The damage of weapons can be modified by the values "dmgMultiplier" and "pulseDmgMultiplier". If you increase it too much, the damage could get op. Change at your own risk. This values are for balancing the pulse cannons damage in relation to laser/railgun damage. You better only decrease these values to balance its pulse damage.
The total damage should only be modified with "entityDamageMultiplier", wich does not touch the weapon damage (it changes an entity property, not a weapon property, to modify the damage of all equipped turrets).
If you need any help send me a pm.
Known issues
- Increased range does not work very well yet. At least it is enaugh to make it hard to outrange the Scout/Guardian.
Update for Avorion 0.16.x: Guardians range really needs a rework since comabt update I.
Update: Range still does not work, although his weaps really have a range of 22km. It may be be a KI problem, or I missed anything... However, same settings work well for XsotanDreadnought, but not for Guardian.

This sounds to me like a broken galaxy.
"In Beta Mode!" is a local 0.12.x server? However, when you logged in there the first time, was a new player created? You can see in the log file.
Once I had a broken galaxy, where I was created as a new player instead of loading my stuff...

... also another ways to smoothen things out.
Can you tell us what you can exactly do?
-
It would be pretty useful for letting friends use your ships temporarily instead of being forced into an alliance which doesnt let you use personal ships/stations.
Ah permissions... I agree, this is really useful. Vote for not patching out.
But I think it's a bug that the game is still searching for?

I got the same error, but the game and console keep working. The logfile on our server is completely spammed by errors like this.
It seems this happens everytime, a player joins a sector with stations wich was not visited since last update... but not sure about that.

Old thread, but still up to date.
I absolutely agree to Devious, the reputation system needs a rework. I also thought about modding out asteroid selling, but how to gain reputation? So i did not do.
Maybe anybody got a better idea for a reputation mod? If there was at least another way, to gain reputation...
Rebuying asteroids from factions is not the nice way imo...

OOSP is a vanilla feature as of version 0.12 r8487(beta). Therefore the mod won't be continued!
In vanilla >0.12 every player gets few sectors wich are active. But all the npc factorys are inactive, also if the player got many sectors with factorys there are not many that are always online. On our server we still run this mod, that really improves trading in the galaxy a lot, npc factorys would not produce much without it.
I vote for continue this mod. Also it was very easy to me to merge it into current beta version, you could still stop continueing this mod when it gets harder to merge it into the current versions ;)

Hi,
I got it building more weapons on my ship. If the volume does affect it too... I dont know.
But I can't get the achievement barrel roll (Fassrolle in german, not sure how its called in english). I can't get it by just doing a barrel roll... any ideas?
-
You can disable/nerf faction wars in the scripts, also another ways to smoothen things out.
The MP scripting isn't optimised for 10+ players at all, heck even some scripts give 1.5x multiplier for spawns for every extra player in a sector while the whole server still needs to wait for that slowed down sector to update.
lol great idea... never thought about that. Just gave it a try, I hope it works.
-
Yes thats the point, the trading posts stop selling when you use this file for a long time. I edited the orignal mod file cause the vanilla file was modified in 0.12 or later.
require ("cargotransportlicenseutility")This line was added in current patches, but when i add this line to the mod something gets broken. If the original mod still works its fine. But the modified mod file works too for some time until the error appears, please tell us if it still works in some days :P
What you can do at least: use vanilla file on server side, and mod file on client side, this works cause the issues with trading posts are on server side.
At all I dont understand why cargotransportlicenseutility was added in this file... shouldnt it be anywhere else?
-
It is a bug. I dont know why, but the server connection gets overloaded, even if the outgoing traffic is only about 4MBit (wich is not much for a server).
Even other games, running on the server, get lags too. Maybe too many packets or too many connections...?
The only thing you could try is to upgrade the connection, but i can't say if it helps.

Watch this:
http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,3578.0.html
Try to improve network performance / connection of the server. Improving cpu/ram does not help.

How can we restore a destroyed craft? It happens often that a player is destroyed while loading into a sector, which obviously shouldn't happen.
What I found out yet: If a player is in a crashed sector (server crashes when he logs in) you have to delete the sector to make the player able to login without crashing the server again. Before 0.12 his ship(s) in this sector were deleted, but now all player ships and stations get restored from the player files and spawned into the sector as soon as it gets regenerated.
I don't think you could restore a destroyed ship, but im not sure.

Hi,
I did some testing about server performance on our server, and figured out why performance problems did not change much on current beta update (but problem is the same in stable version, so I did not post in beta forum).
What I exactly did:
I entered a sector with faction war, to cause huge lags. After 3min (give the server some time to increase the lags ;) ) I printed out the profiling stats file (live_server.txt). The lags were incredible, the response time was huge, I was unable to hit any ship and so on. But the server cpu load was low (yes, already a known problem).
Performance[ void Server::update(float): 3803.11 ms; 100% ]
Then I downloaded a backup of the galaxy (I created the backup directly before testing), set up a server on my local computer and let a friend join it. Cause of my 6mbit connection it was very slow for him, but it worked.
I teleported him into the same sector with faction war I just tested on the live server. He got the same kind of lags like on live server, but much worse cause of my bad connection. But I did not get any lag, the response time was very good and cpu load was not too much, although the faction war went on and I had the client running too (local-copy_net-client.txt). I was in another sector and could play like there were no war.
In the end I restarted the galaxy with the backup and joined the faction war sector. There were some small lags cause the cpu load of the client was over 50%, cpu usage at all 100% (local-copy_local-client.txt). But I did not have any problem to hit other ships, the only few lags were very short.
Performance[ void Server::update(float): 646.4 ms; 100% ]
That was the worst value i got, most times it was 50ms.
Conclusion:
All the performance issues are a result of networking problems. This is the answer on many questions I saw in the forum like "why is the cpu load on 20% while lagging?" and so on. The server is really bored, he is just waiting for the network.
Version 0.12 has lot of performance improvements (wich is really good), but did not change the lags cause networking did not get improved.
Imo this should be the most important milestone for game developing: improve the network performance wich is currently really bad (not only in boss fights or faction fights).

I think this should finally answer the topic.
http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,3578.0.html
But i'm sure the network causes most of the performance issues. If you don't beleave me I could set up a server on an old computer or in a vm with limited ressources and watch the performance.
