Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - HookDev - 12-05-2015 The server has been updated with a new version of FLHook. This process moved FLHook from the vc90 compiler to the vc140 compiler. This is roughly 8 years of compiler versions. We did not expect to see any performance increase from this as it was mostly an effort to save time in the long run, but it turns out it did. The server used to hover around 10ms load when idle and it is now at 3ms so if it holds up we should experience less server lag related problems. Additionally, the previous version of autobuy has been completely destroyed. Instead, there is a new version of the plugin written today capable of handling FLHook items. You will now have the possibility to autobuy cloak batteries for cloaking devices and cloak disruptors. We have made additions very easy and it should be a blessing for any future addition. Due to the radical changes in the code, your previous autobuy settings will not work anymore. You will have to enable them again on every ship.

Thanks a lot!! You guys are doing great! RE: Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - Epo - 12-05-2015 Yeah, much thanks! RE: Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - Jack_Henderson - 12-05-2015 Sounds totally awesome. Great job! RE: Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - Stoner_Steve - 12-05-2015 Fantastic! RE: Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - Alestone - 12-05-2015 Awesome work, don't burn yourself out with too much too fast. RE: Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - Malmsteen - 12-05-2015 Thank you very much for enhancing the FLHook version. There was some lag recently from time to time so hopefully this will subside because of your appreciated efforts. Keep the good work up Alley and HookDev Respectfully, Malmsteen RE: Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - Rebirth - 12-05-2015 (12-05-2015, 05:22 PM)HookDev Wrote: We did not expect to see any performance increase from this as it was mostly an effort to save time in the long run, but it turns out it did. Who came up with the idea, that it wouldn't increase the performance? A more modern compiler, allows that the code will be optimized in a more efficient and performant way thus resulting in less execution time (performance increase). This is the same as when someone would tell you that a float would fit into the cpu register RE: Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - Alley - 12-05-2015 (12-05-2015, 09:43 PM)Rebirth Wrote:(12-05-2015, 05:22 PM)HookDev Wrote: We did not expect to see any performance increase from this as it was mostly an effort to save time in the long run, but it turns out it did. check the codebase on the starport and you'll figure out why we did not EXPECT performance increases. It's good that they're here, but we went as if there would be none so we wouldn't be disappointed. RE: Dev Notice: Server and Autobuy update - Infamous - 12-06-2015 Great work everyone! |
