TROPISERVER TESTING PROCEDURE

Process:

- Using multiple player clients, find out the rate of expansion on the ms per tick
- keep eye out for exponential increase
- use night, 14000
- use ZA at 100% throttle
- make sure no invasions

Steps:

1. Get the info for current modded server
2. Get the info for a vanilla server
3. depending on data
 a. remove mods from full set
 b. start adding mods from vanilla, has false positive fix potential (this would safely break the world, but potentially invalidate the case by removing problem blocks if thats the cause)


Data:

Vanilla (forge with forgeirc and btps), hard, players spread out
-------
Corosus: 6ms
Corosus + test1: 12ms
Corosus + test1 + test2: 15ms
Corosus + test1 + test2 + test3: 24ms
Corosus + test1 + test2 + test3 + test4: 28ms

Due to the severity of the ms per tick fluctuation with the modded setup, ranges will be used as accuratly as possible

Current server mod setup (exact same locations for test players)
-------
Corosus: 10ms (initial location might have changed)
Corosus + test1: 19ms-?
Corosus + test2: 26-32ms
Corosus + test2 + test3: 33-40ms
(at this point i decided to place torches around the area of each player)
Corosus + test2 + test3 + test4: 35-46ms

Difference (# players vs # players)
----------
+4ms
+7ms
+11-22ms
+9-16ms (this player was in a baseless area)
+7-18ms

of course these players arent moving much so:
- chunks arent being loaded and unloaded
-- However there is sitll a baseline increase in ms per tick as more players join....
- entity spawning is assumably fairly stable (vs spawning from chunks loading and unloading)




Mod removal
-----------

First group try:
----------------
- chicken everything (ender storage, chunks, nei)
- TF
- forestry
- mutant creatures
- weather mod

result for the 5 players: 36-42ms

Second group try:
-----------------
- thaumcraft

result for the 5 players: 38-42ms

Third group try:
----------------
- soulshards
- buildcraft
- railcraft

result for the 5 players: 38-45ms

Fourth group try:
----------------
- cc
- ic2 and submods

35

undo except for cc

36?

 and ZA really off

32 or even less


ALL MINUS COMPUTER CRAFt

5 players: 27-43

?????

it hurts
