I got a problem... Server worked fine but for some reason it began cutting off clients when sending lots of parse commands

In video you see what happens but here is what happens on server:



It received all commands from me while I was frozen...

Also when 10 real players connected it hang during one of the countdown sounds before even sending parse functions... Maybe there are linux commands that I forgot to setup to allow more players?

Make sure your script isn't requesting too much information from your clients at a time.

Do you use / hooks?
Even big hooks?

Avoid using entirely if possible.

Thanks dude but I dont even use these. The funny thing is it worked for our first 2v2. Then I restarted sv, added 1 new variable and this thing happened. It seemed like I made a mistake but it works on local game and lua doesnt show any error. It just stops sending info to player but receives everything from him

You are probably sending too much stuff in a single frame. CS2D's networking code and protocol is very... basic... and sometimes does bad things which lead to a broken connection.
Of course these issues can't be observed if you host yourself (listen server with client) and only test with bots.

If you send me the code or tell me which commands you're using I can probably improve the behavior for future releases.

Right now the best fix would be to use a timer or something alike and to split command execution over multiple frames. It really depends a lot on what exactly you're doing though. There might also be alternative solutions which cause less network traffic.

Ok I'll send you the code and explain it in more details.

I remember breaking connection with scripts on join hook while player was still receiving data from the server. Not sure if this is a similar case.

It sounds similar but inversed
99% it is shitty server's limitation.

Send me the code or the commands that you used, I'm expert at Lua. I'll try to fix it.

It was as DC said, too much stuff in one go for the server to handle.
Solved it by limiting and optimizing hudtxt blocks.

Blitzmax is broken, If DC redesign CS2D in Unity or Unreal Engine 4. It would be nice.

@ The Superman: Which will never happen

cs2d is perfect with blitmax, but it would also be great to see cs2d with another engine, even if it doesn't happen, it's not a bad idea, I'm sure that cs2d developers would create something really good, with a more modern engine.
I am one of the people who does not close the doors to the possibilities.

It's easier to develop by ourselves than wait for a new engine.

@ The Superman: Please don't suggest switching to another engine in random threads. That's entirely off-topic. The problem described here is caused by CS2D's network code and not by any issues with BlitzMax.
(Also I would never use Unity or Unreal for a game like CS2D! I'm using Untiy in my full time job. It's way too heavy, causes too much trouble and I would be busy with working around its problems 90% of the time)
