Server/ Fast DL Maintanance

[Paul]

The servers have just gone through a massive maintenance.

 

Here's what went down:

 

Dedicated Server

• Removed 90gb+ of waste/unneeded files from the 1st dedicated server.
  
• Removed around 20,000-45,000!!!! spray download files from each server.
  
• Removed a few more 1000 log files scattered on each server.
  
• Removed all unneeded server plugins.
  
• Removed all unneeded server configs.
  
• Removed all unneeded files on the dedicated.
  
• Installed a pruning plugin that will auto delete the spray download files and server logs every 7 days. Example: once a file becomes 7 days old since last edited it will be deleted. This is only for sourcemod logging files, download spray files and general server map logs.
  
• Removed every map that is not on the maplist.txt on the server from each servers map folder. [Quite a lot of unneeded map files]
  
• Deleted all random files from every server that should not have been there (copied over from other servers)
  
• Edited most maplists into order now (new maps will now appear at the front of the nominate list so you can see which maps are new)
  

 

Fast Downloads Server

 

• Deleted every map that is not on a servers mapcycle.txt list. There were a shit ton of maps that have grown over the past 3+ years on there. It was rather painful . I will be looking into finding or asking someone to create a plugin/script that auto deletes maps once they are removed from the servers mapcycle.txt.
  
• Deleted all the unneeded shit that somehow randomly appeared there.
  
• Removed some folders that had no need to be there/
  
• Added all the MOTDs back to the download site instead of hosting them on my photobucket. (should have not as many loading issues in the servers now).
  
• Reduced the download site space by a good 25GB+.
  
• Fixed 90% of all the sourcemod errors in each server. I still have a few outstanding that I am hoping to fix later on.
  

 

Why?

 

• Complaints of servers such as minigames and zombie escape having performance issues. I’ve noticed it myself as of late and hopefully this will have improved things a little. The dedicated server is running ALOT faster that it did a few hours ago, there is barley any delay time as there used to be.
  
• Having tidy server files / dedicated files = WIN
  

 

Please let me know if you find a better in game performance FPS and Lag wise. You wont notice the difference on servers like surf, trikz or prison break. But I am hoping you will feel the difference on minigames and zombie escape.

 

NOTE 1: Garrys Mod is the only server left to clean up, which I am going to leave to spartan as if I break that he will kill me.

 

NOTE 2: As I have been removing a lot of maps from the download site, there is the chance that I may have removed a map that is on a server maplist.txt, thus will give you map missing from server. If you find any of these please fill out a server fix request HERE

 

NOTE 3: If your in the servers for the next 2-3 hours you maybe getting some lag spikes as I am making server backups ATM.

 

Thank you!

Backups done.

 

CPU Usage = 1% but the servers are pretty empty at this time of day.

Awesome I can't wait to see if we'll have any more lag/ping troubles on it
