From c5c727d62735e334ec64f07c557a2896d6d66d9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Auke Kok Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 23:14:26 -0800 Subject: Allow NodeTimer, ABM and block mgmt interval changes. ABM's are hardcoded to run every 1.0s, NodeTimers are hard coded to run at every 1.0s. Block mgmt is running every 2.0sec. However, these timers can be better tuned for both higher and lower values by server owners. Some server owners want to, and have the resources to send more packets per second to clients, and so they may wish to send smaller updates sooner. Right now all ABM's are coalesced into 1.0 second intervals, resulting in large send queues to all clients. By reducing the amount of possible timers, one can get a far better response rate and lower the perception of lag. On the other side of the camp, some servers may want to increase these values, which again isn't easily doable. The global settings abm_interval and nodetimer_interval are set to current values by default. I've tested with 0.2/0.5 type values and noticed a greatly improved response and better scattering of nodetimers, as well as enjoying not faceplanting into doors with pressure plates anymore. --- src/settings_translation_file.cpp | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'src/settings_translation_file.cpp') diff --git a/src/settings_translation_file.cpp b/src/settings_translation_file.cpp index 0e0c3acc0..77fd6c682 100644 --- a/src/settings_translation_file.cpp +++ b/src/settings_translation_file.cpp @@ -409,6 +409,12 @@ fake_function() { gettext("See http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_synchronous"); gettext("Dedicated server step"); gettext("Length of a server tick and the interval at which objects are generally updated over network."); + gettext("Active Block Management interval"); + gettext("Time in between active block management cycles"); + gettext("ABM modifier interval"); + gettext("Length of time between ABM execution cycles"); + gettext("NodeTimer interval"); + gettext("Length of time between NodeTimer execution cycles"); gettext("Ignore world errors"); gettext("If enabled, invalid world data won't cause the server to shut down.\nOnly enable this if you know what you are doing."); gettext("Liquid loop max"); -- cgit v1.2.3
