The memory is the least of the problems, you can always reduce it by disabling things.
Biggest problem is the cpu usage due to being almost single threaded (yea yea i know..).
Haven't seen someone running it really smooth past 1500 ppl.
500-600 shouldn't be a problem with an up to date machine.

I guess this doesn't cover the "taking the flag" part of EOTS and AB?

This suggestion/question might not be all new:
I'm searching some sort of API which allows executing internal mangos functions during runtime by external applications.
I know the remote console but after extensive useage i noticed it is quite unreliable. Once in a while it doesn't let me log in, killed my server quite a few times (didn't really investigate this any further) and i also believe telnet isn't necessarily the proper interface for an API. If i'm not all wrong it is also not multi user capable.
I think a first thing people could fine useful is the possibilty to send ingame mails from an external source. I tried to adapt the external mail patch from the trinity patch queue but i kills my server during the mail check cycle.
I think using the mangos internal functions for mail/kick/ban/etc. is a better way than just trying to reimplement the very same methods into a (web)application.
Does something like that exist already? Did someone already try something similar?
-
What happens on vmap disabled zones?
-
True
Any chance to make git pull work without parameter for updating?
-
mkdir blah cd blah git init git fetch -n git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git mangos-0.12 [b]git merge FETCH_HEAD[/b]
Cause that is most likely the next question coming up.

I'm currently using the patch Arclite posted, but it has quite some flaws:
Blink doesn't work on non-map surface (as mentioned above)
If you can figgure the potential range right you can blink up mountains (i.e. the Warsong graveyard mountains)
It still makes people fall under the map once in a while.
If you need help with improving the current situation of blink - let us know.

Calm down you two guys...
I don't plan on running mangos on win anyways, i just got tired of removing the mtmaps patch each time i wanna mess with the code (afterall M$ VS > rest).
I have mtmaps running on gentoo with 1500 people but the spelllag is still getting very annoying past 1200 players.
Just about to switch hardware from AMD to Intel, but i don't really expect any big shot from that. Those 1200-1500 numbers seem to be some sort of design limit of mangos.
(and yes there are people who claim to have 1500+ lagfree, but i've also seen crazy riots on those peoples forums where the players crying about massive lag. But as usual, if someone has "the big solution" - feel free to share some knowledge)
@cozzmic
Thanks for the "below" that really made the difference. Who would have thought includes are that sensitive to order...

How to compile mangos-0.12 branch + derex last mtmaps on Win32 VC.
1. Uncomment #include "WorldSocket.h" in \\src\\game\\World.cpp line 24
2. Add #include "WorldSocket.h" in \\src\\mangosd\\CliRunnable.cpp
3. Add the files MapUpdater.h и MapUpdater.сpp to `game` project.
4. Add the files DelayExecutor.h и DelayExecutor.сpp to `shared` project.
5. PROFIT!
Did anyone manage to get that working?

I don't have a repo there, the only bigger patch i use is CWN's anticheat.
Few smaller game mechanic fixes like that void autosacrifice thing but nothing performance related.

Ok, i adapted mtmaps from trinity patch repository and it seems to work quite good.

There is now a little more room on the main thread, yet the problem still comes back at 1400 users.
Usually all those quadcore cpus have less power on a single core. Can anyone with a larger user number post a htop, etc. output what's the mainthread is doing on such a machine?

@freghar
I'm running char and realmd table in innodb with innodb_buffer_pool_size = 3072M (4GB RAM database machine), so basicly almost the full chardb should fit into the RAM.
@Blub
Could you also post the machine specs and the mangos rev? It seems to be a slightly older one since mtmaps stopped working at some point?

I'd like to talk a bit about the running behavior of mangos "under pressure" since there is virtually no information around about it.
Running worldd on a dedicated box (AMD X2 6000+ 3Ghz per core, 6GB RAM, software raid0) and mysql/realmd on a sightly slower box crosslinked via dedicated 1Gbit connection.
My observations:
Mangos scales quite well with increasing number of users, there is only one issue i've noticed so far: vmaps
Having full vmaps enabled at around 600 users the execution delay of spells ingame starts to increase massivly.
This can be stalled by disabling vmaps for the world continents (vmap.ignoreMapIds = "369, 0, 1, 530").
Having this setting enabled i can go up to 1300 users when the same problems start again.
First i thought the CPU of the worldserver hit the limit, but it is only peaking at 95% with the mainthread of mangos on one core.
Wild theories:
Unfortunately the mtmaps isn't at a working state so i can't really test all the stuff i wanted.
I've heared other people blaming slow mysql execution for those kinda delays in spell and movement behavior, yet i think i tuned my database pretty good and rather think it is a combination of issues.
My mysql server is doing about 250-300 queries/sec in average (INS,DEL, UPD, SEL) peaking up to 1000 (i assume player saves) once in a while and i've even seen it doing 4000 qps without problems.
I can't really understand that mysql<->vmaps issue yet, but like the "disable vmaps for part of the world" workaround showed, there is a problem with vmaps implementation that reduces smoothness while there is still free capacity on the backend (cpu, ram, db) available.
I would appcreciate if someone who has more insight into mangos innerworks would give a comment on this and if there is a "doable" approach how to solve it, without rewriting half of the core.
Note: I'm not talking about the multithreading/multicomputing topic here. Imo those are higher design goals that should be approached when an application already eats all the hardware it can get (100% useage on multiple cores, etc.), which isn't really the problem of mangos yet.
I'd also like to encourage other users of mangos running more than 500 players to share their impression and maybe exchange a few cfg tipps.
-
That's no test, those a really 1250 people. I think you can't really meassure performance by spawning bots with lets say Pseuwow. The interaction as in combat, movement, etc. are the real performance drainers.

It did indeed have something to do with pets. This particular form (by far the most common) of the crash should be fixed in [6928]. It's a complex problem that still needs more work though. Thank you the reports, they've been quite helpful.
I didn't have the time for revision bump yet, but on 6909 the boss Edwin VanCleef is spawning rogues (sd2 script) which immediately kills the server with that SetInvisibilty function.
Is that already covered by the 6928 fix?
Gonna update asap.
-
I currently running ~1250 people without any bigger problems, althought the main thread of mangos is draining 100% on core most of the time and you can already notice it's getting unsmooth ingame.
I also think the mtmaps patch could really help with that. There is free room on the other cpu core that could easily take 1 or 2 map threads.

Additional information for the Unit::SetVisibility crash issue:
2008-12-19 09:46:44 ERROR:Pet or controlled creature (Entry: 636 GUID: 11423) attempt targeted home
2008-12-19 09:46:44 ERROR:Pet or controlled creature (Entry: 636 GUID: 11422) attempt targeted home
The same messages are appearing repeatedly on each of those crashes. Could it be a problem related to pets getting out of the range of the owner?

**edit
Omg what is going on again..?
-
Alright down from ~56sec to ~49sec guild loading time having mysql on an extra server with a dediacated connection.
I think this is definately a step towards the right direction.
Guild loading still consumes about 50% of the mangos bootup time, i hope there is some room for further improvement.
-
Indeed, already had network cards that required special kernel flags to be able to deal with the mass of tiny queries that mangos is doing on startup.
Gonna test this one asap.
