NPC Stress Test - Sunday 4/15/07

[Ramsey]

Here we go..


Ult and I have been starting to work more and more on core3, a shift from our previous job as dedicated analyst of protocol. Oru and TA have made leaps and bounds with core3 since our last stress test, and it is about time for another stress test.

What is new since the last test:
-Event based. The entire community will be engaged in a single objective to complete as a whole.
-NPCs. A ****load.
-Some of the Top 10. (http://swgemu.com/paste/index.php?read=200704041620089573)
-Possible Npc vs Npc combat (depending on what story path we go with for the event).
-Core3 used to run ontop of cygwin on windows because some portions haven't been ported to native windows. That created a 5-10% overhead. We now run core3 on freebsd and right now it uses like .15% of cpu.


Event Mini FAQ:
Q) What time sunday?
A) This has yet to be finalized. The time will try to best fit for players in North America.

Q) Could you give a basic overview of the event story?
A) Sure,
Tusken's are advancing upon Anchorhead, and it is up to the community to defend anchorhead until reinforcements arrive to push them out. The "reinforcements" will probably be a battle group of storm troopers and a couple Imperial machines that will fight along side players.

Q) Was this shot in core3?
A) Yes, on a private core3 server. No footage was shot on dummy servers or core1 (lol), its all core3.

Q) How did you get your camera to fly over all that?
A) Its an Ultyma-trick.

Q) Will NPC's be in the MO before the event?
A) No.

Q) Will Npc's be in after the event?
A) Random spawns, probably.

[Smusatto]

Woot! Can't wait. :D

[OmaddaSzool]

Haha, I plan to be there!

Thanks again! :D

Oh... I always wanted to see this in SWG... and this is not a knock ;)
"Sand People always travel in single file... to hide their numbers".
It'd be interesting to see and deal with MOB's using that sort of formation, hehe.
I'm just curious if that is at all a possibility (Not that they'd stay that way all the time... surrounding a city and attacking as normal is not a problem... I'm more curious if it is even possible to create single file behavior)?

Seriously... the emu is enough.... the event sounds great... and the video is such a great touch to jazz up the excitement!
Great job!

I swear... this will all be so much better for not being SOE. I think we'll see so much greater player-made content... and stuff like pre-event videos to hype things up.
This deal just keeps getting better all the time.

[Vastor]

3rd. Ty Ramsey!

[sixdeath]

Kick Butt!!!
:d

[Nurdbot]

zOMG!

For the Empire! Awesome! I can't wait to see how this will turn out.

[Smusatto]

In advance, the music in the video is the Kraken Attack music from POTC: Dead Mans Chest.

This is correct.

Also, the bit at the end was from this SNL skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjxKFbsdIZg

[Attituchuck]

Looks awesome. :)

[Jodah-DancingStormtrooper]

You don't want to know what substance I just found in my pants.

Anyway, if you look at the AT-ST you will see it has no guns on it, is that from lag or is the Empire, because of the defeat of Endor(which hasn't even happened yet), using rocks and logs now?

[Ramsey]

So can I fight along side the tuskens? lol

once a rebel always a rebel :P

No, you will be fighting against the tuskens that are attacking Anchorhead. You'll be fighting along side with Imperial troopers.

[Newsound]

Ok ok...I guess for the better of the emu I will fight with the imps:eek:

But if those sand people offer me good money I will sell info.


:)

[Sunahamaru]

aw i dun wanna be an imp): lol *messes up the at-at right b4 the battle* wasnt me...

[fenderbean]

guess i need to get together a list of commands for my char hehe

[Volgin]

Even though I am rebel, I will gladly fight alongside Imperial Troopers.. Im really looking forward to this stress test.

[conjre]

But if those sand people offer me good money I will sell info.

"Pst hey you tuskans, all those storm troopers, they aren't real. They're just machines"

[Spartacus]

-Some of the Top 10. (http://swgemu.com/paste/index.php?read=200704041620089573)
-Team SWGEmu

What from the Top 10 will be there?

[toilet_duck]

Crap, this sounds like a buncha fun. The teaser video was fantastic. I will try to get as many people as I know to participate.

Excellent work on the server emulator, guys! Expect to hear much wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from the direction of SOE very soon...

/QUACK @ The Dev Crew

[Niad]

that video was AWESOME!!!!! Be there I shall!

[eyeRmonkey]

Did anyone get a random "monster truck! Sunday Sunday Sunday!" thing at the end of their video? I used VLC to play it and mine stopped playing, but had space at the end of the progress bar. When I manually moved the progress marker, it started playing a monster truck ad.

[Nith]

I'll be there.

And yes, eyeRmonkey, that was done intentionally.

[Fel]

woot woot!

Can't wait! See everyone there =D

[firingblind]

Gah, figures I've got to work on Sunday till 6pm :(

Ahh well its all good, I almost fell out of my chair to see that many NPC's in one place lol.

Great work guys :)

[DeCastro]

Great news!

[Ramsey]

Gah, figures I've got to work on Sunday till 6pm :(

Ahh well its all good, I almost fell out of my chair to see that many NPC's in one place lol.

Great work guys :)

It'll probably be at night anyway.

[Colim]

Nice can't wait.

[Zaff]

Eye candy!!!!

I'm lookin' forward to this!!

[Kalean]

Oh please please please do this after 10:00 pm CST!!!! I'm soooooo looking forward to flamin' some tuskens! BURN BABY BURN!!!!!!

[Trekkervger]

That looks awesome! I have Sunday off from work so I'll hopefully be able to take a break from my papers to drop in. :) Thank you SWGEmu team!

[sid_lowca]

wohoo, be there for sure.

[Gulkia]

NICE! are we gonna get armor and stuff, when i was a newb pre-cu it was pretty tuff killing tuskens.

[damostmorbid]

looks mad, like those total war games but with stormtroopers, coo. That's gonna lag like a b@#ch on my pc tho.

[Drakemoore]

Ah man that looks awesome. Nice work, sadly I can't make it but I hope the test goes great. SWGEmu Team FTW! :)

[JediX14]

nice ill be there :)

[Bviper]

Wouldn't miss it for the world :D

[JinJaw]

Cool I get to kill them tusken bastards.:cool:

[david665]

Emperor: Anchorhead is not abandonded! An entire legion of my best troops awaits them. I'm afraid it will be quite well defended when your friends arrive....

[No-Life]

Ok that teaser looked stupid. Tusken Raiders travel in single file to hide their numbers. We would be closer to game play without wasting time on crap.

[Chewic]

F. Yea Sunday anytime I will be there! I always have sundays off. SWEET! thanks Im getting bored with te other hum-drum games

Chewic Flurry server master powers Jedi retired

[Nikkia]

Wasting time on crap? It's a stress test. It's part of development. And "we would be closer to game play"? How is playing SWG on Sunday not close to gameplay - it is gameplay!

[DeCastro]

Ok that teaser looked stupid. Tusken Raiders travel in single file to hide their numbers. We would be closer to game play without wasting time on crap.

You just loged on SWGEmu to cause Chaos it's a stress test. Blah.

[goldcrud]

OMG :) I can't wait it looks soo bad ass :) this is way better than any Dev created Event SOE has ever done. I just can't wait.

[Ramsey]

Add Infraction for No-Life


I don't care if you like the idea or not, because most people seem to like it. But the real reason we're doing this is to stress test the server with a bunch of npcs AND players running around and fighting. Its part of development.

Sorry to dissapoint, hope others don't feel the same.

[CaptJones]

Sounds interesting.

[Klanagh]

Tons of Tuskans and Stormies in the vid. If the server can handle that many NPC's in one place, with players, I'd be very impressed.

Looks awsome, btw.

[Smannesman]

As an European I'm probably screwed time-wise, but if it's possible I'll be there.

[LSky]

It'll probably be at night anyway.There goes the chance for the euros to make the event. :(

[Futuramaman]

Woot I don't have to work sunday, you guys are awesome and keep up the good work.

[RuxxKlavon]

*creams his pants*

JOY!

[Moe]

at least a good thing to let the community do something, things like that should be done frequently even if than not an direct part of development.

[Spijker]

Perfect !
Fort Tusken is where my SWG adventure started :D with a 14 day trial that soon turned into a full account ofcourse :p

[jinxit]

Well slap my thigh with a vibro axe.....

[johnson swags]

This is going to be awesome, can't wait for sunday.

[bongandbeer]

so sad im a poor german,... cant participate i guess

Perfect !
Fort Tusken is where my SWG adventure started :D with a 14 day trial that soon turned into a full account ofcourse :p

same here ! =)

[Aldebaran]

Let's hope they don't do this too late for us Europeans ;)

[blueseal86]

wow, really cool. i have sunday off too :D i can't wait. brilliant job

[{OD}[Deadly.Blowfish]-Xel]

I, My friends, Will be there :-D

[Cando Vass]

Let's hope they don't do this too late for us Europeans ;)


Aye, lets hope. All the same this looks awesome, cant wait. Just looks like I could be half asleep when I'm teaching my classes on monday :(

[hinch]

fix it for a euro time not NA and you may actually stand a chance of breaking your figures may i suggest 9pm on the sunday evening (UK time)

that way you'll get everyone away upto the russian border at that time and everyone away through to calif in opposite direction although it'll be earlier morning for them :)

either way thats the only way your gonna get the figures you want if you make it focused on a yank timezone you ignore the several thousand euros which is a bad bad bad idea.

remember america isnt the centre of the world england is thats why the time zone is +0 :)

[Forsaken]

Time to break stuff:D .

Guess im callin in sick to work lol.

[rekoil]

damn im from UK, gonna get my time chart out and see whats possible :O i always forget if you guys are ahead or behind...

[nobleboloc]

looks awesome cant wait :D

[ovion]

damn im from UK, gonna get my time chart out and see whats possible :O i always forget if you guys are ahead or behind...

Unfortunatly they're behind, so 6pm EST is 11 GMT for us unless daylight saving does something to it, then it's 12pm GMT. Hopefully the Euros (including me) will get a chance at it.

The Teaser, :eek:, great work, amazed to see all those NPCs in one place.

[zaykodroid]

OMG
i cant join this one:(
i wish there will be another next weeks...

[Runny]

Looking forward to it!

[Lubbe]

Cool, i would be there :D

[Dialgo]

Man! You devs are doing an amazing job! Im going to be out of town, making it back in Sunday night...hopefully in time for this! Keep up the amazing work!

[Xe'fea - Eclipse]

All i can say is i just found out about the emu a week or so ago and im tryin hard to find some time to get on and play! looks like you guys are doing a amazing job. Hopfully i can make it for the stress test.

[Nurdbot]

I had the SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY Monster Truck thing at the end of my preview video too.

Classic.

[IG-EightyEight]

looks awesome, and that monster truck add at the end was a riot

[cookiec]

If I cant be there I will cry :(:(


I already got about 5 more ppl gona come for this event lol (its gona be funny watching them try to fight.. when they aint even played swg before lol)

[Bisles]

looks cool, hope it's in the afternoon or around 3 or 4pm (USA East Coast, which I think is GMT -5)!

[Rudy]

This event sounds awesome, idk why the guy had a problem with it. Who gives a **** if tuskans walk in strait lines?lmao.

[Rasth]

!!!

Oh.Hell.YES.

Now I have to explain to everyone in the office why I'm jumping around like a madman. Thank you!

[noxeven]

gonna try to be there so if work doesnt kill me first.

[matt71tx]

Ult and I have been starting to work more and more on core3, a shift from our previous job as dedicated analyst of protocol.

Does this mean that the protocol research is complete and all the Devs are focusing on core3 development?

By the way, great progress and kudos to the SWGEmu team for taking the time to make this stress test with a theme to it!

[Shakakon]

ZOMGX2 ill try my best to be there, hopefully I don't have to work.......anyways to start it before noon ET?????? cuz thats when I have work....or have it after 6pmET...

[Vreed]

Bravo! I'm gonna go die with some stormtroopers on Sunday! Yay!!! (That was my Pre CU job too! )

[dnifan]

Very nice job! I still remember the old Core1 and to see this really enjoys me.
How such things can grow so fast :)

[Exarch]

I wanna see some monster trucks and funny cars

[jinxit]

Ok that teaser looked stupid. Tusken Raiders travel in single file to hide their numbers. We would be closer to game play without wasting time on crap.


TROLL ALERT TROLL ALERT intitiating /ignore maneuvre slaphimdown

[EcePeva]

hi i just recently joined this forum will i be able to participate in the stress test and how would i get this installed

[scion]

i have a couple things to say.1 i understand most emu players are prolly from the big us of a but us europeans need to also be considered when things like this happen.Shurely u understand we all have live and cant stay up til like 4am(7-8pm est) just cani happen lol....but anyway gd luck the test hope it goes well the end

[delive21]

Holy ****.

[DeCastro]

Then we'll start it at 5AM.:p

[Sap]

Outstanding! This should really put core3 to the test. Hopefully many of our European friends can make it, if not have it again at a time more suitable for them. You may need to tweak some things anyway depending on how this stress test goes. See you there.

[goldcrud]

Ok that teaser looked stupid. Tusken Raiders travel in single file to hide their numbers. We would be closer to game play without wasting time on crap.
The devs need to make a stress test with NPCs and people to see what happens. Why not make the stress test fun more people will come thus making it more stressfull on the server :). Honestly I doubt the devs have spent that much time setting this up all they have to do is spawn NPCs and having them go on a path. Anyways a good teaser will hopefully bring in more people that was the point of it and to have fun :).

[OmaddaSzool]

I don't care if you like the idea or not, because most people seem to like it. But the real reason we're doing this is to stress test the server with a bunch of npcs AND players running around and fighting. Its part of development.

Sorry to dissapoint, hope others don't feel the same.

Don't worry... if you look, the user was created just to make that post (The only one ever posted) and their name is "No-Life", lol. (Whoa... actually it was created in December '06... and this was their first post... talk about waiting it out and then finally delivering something substantial, lol)

Me thinks it is a stupid joke/flame or whatever... I wouldn't be surprised if it was a regular member making this user just to screw around, lol.

Anyhow, I hope my initial comment about how Tusken Raiders travel in single file didn't inspire anyone to say that...

Back in the early days, on the long hike up to Fort Tusken with a group of players, I brought up the idea of how it would be cool if you encountered them doing that...
And seeing your video made me remember that and that's the only reason I asked... just if it is at all possible to assign that behavior to the NPC AI.
It is a totally silly (bordering on stupid) thought, but hopefully it was seen as such and not as a criticism (I probably should have asked it elsewhere instead of doing so in this thread).

Anyway... ignore "No-Life"... anyone who isn't stoked about this has issues... and certainly ain't no SWG Fan.

:D

[JDM4000]

cant wait... hate to ask but the IP and exact time to log will be located on the fourm or IRC? (forgot how account creation went) We just type in a name and password to reg right?

[Geral]

Mmm can't wait. I'm glad its in AH where it's all desert and a few buildings. How much lag do you expect us to have? I know that's the whole point of this but still...

.. SOE couldn't ever have that many NPC's going at once.

[VAIOMANIAC]

this looks really great guys keep up the good work sunday is the day:D :D

[Azirius]

Hello all, I have been following along since the start of the emulation process just reading any/all posts by all kinds of individuals mainly regarding the status of the development of the production EMU.

on topic:

great work guys! ^^

pls consider european ppl too... :P

[ewo]

Ill be frapsing :D

Pls do for all the ppl that wont make it;)

[matriX]

Guys, Why do I recommend that once everyone spawns into the server, that they immediatly walk out of where they spawn, and just walk out a few k out from the outpost, this way we can see how realistically stable it could be in the area, and pull in more volume for the test.

On the last legit (announced) stress test, I realised when I was in the outpost with everyone, I was getting disconnected a lot. But as soon as I logged back in after getting disconnected 6-7 times, I walked out about 4k out from the outpost, maybe more. And I wasnt getting disconnected at all, it was working great. My friend clanmate and I fought out there too, and the connection was great, no lag or anything.

And then there was some times where I connnected on the un announced (forum post) for just a small group of people test I suppose, I connected the right time cause there was a nice group of people in the outpost, we were all trying out the Imp and Reb factions, and how we changed to each faction. And at that time, I was getting disconnected very rarely. Was working nice and stable.


Cheers, and gj so far on the Emu. Theres so much more to do! Keep up the good work, really.

[CarnorJax02]

ZOMG I have always dreamed of a huge ass battle between human players and npcs, and not the ones with just maybe 30 -40 npcs, like hundreds!!! :D

I cant wait!

[Nurdbot]

I think we all have our fingers crossed and are praying that the case of lag will be minimal stutters.

[CaptJones]

ZOMG I have always dreamed of a huge ass battle between human players and npcs, and not the ones with just maybe 30 -40 npcs, like hundreds!!! :D

I cant wait!You mean, thousands?

[Ouslo]

hahaha, i love you devs, making a server that supports more NPCS than the soe devs servers could ever do :) :D Keep up the good work :)

[ryaku]

I'm so excited that I won't even be able to sleep! :D

[Sasori]

Yea! this is going to be so awesome its going to be as Epic as the POTC Battle (Kraken VS Black Pearl) :D

[goldcrud]

Yea! this is going to be so awesome its going to be as Epic as the POTC Battle (Kraken VS Black Pearl) :D

THANK YOU GUYS

P.S Consider Europe players too ;)

[EVILJUDE]

I wish you all the best in the stress test. wish I could make it, but unfortunately I don't make it home till around 12:30 am (eastern, USA) from work.

[Bisles]

What time is the stress test... can't seem to find it. :p

[f1driverben]

like to be there but !!! my computer is in a box because i moved house!!!! this one can only go on the net.....

but i can't wait to get on swgemu server

[DeCastro]

like to be there but !!! my computer is in a box because i moved house!!!! this one can only go on the net.....

but i can't wait to get on swgemu server

Then take it out of the box! lolz

[Legoklas]

Cool, cant be there thou...
As much as i hate to admit it, booze and babes comes before stress tests :p
And i liked the video, there was just one thing that annoyed me (yeah iam a pain the the ass i know) The red names above the StormTroopers and the tuskens hid the numbers abit.
Nothing serious, but i think it would look cooler without the red names :cool:

[Sinear]

ill definitely be there to join in on the fun (and test)

[Murf]

I got on last night for the first time in several months, and I am completely impressed. Good job DEVs, and keep up the good work.

I'll be there tomorrow.

[Xe'fea - Eclipse]

Has a time been set for the stress test yet?

[goldcrud]

Has a time been set for the stress test yet?
nope I do not believe a time has been set yet.

[krysionCH]

cant wait this is deffinitely going to be cool

[Bilmi]

I will do everything to be there. :)

[sid_lowca]

If we can get a ball-park figure that would be awesome, maybe 5-7pm like the last 2?

[Murph]

Can't wait :)

[Alex339]

Whew, this is gonna be awesome! And to all of you guys across the atlantic, i'm sure they'll start at a reasonable time for everyone. At least, i hope so, you guys deserve to play too!

[sicarim]

[El vado]

What about the Auzzies lol

[Prestigius]

I'll be there, unless I actually get attacked by Tusken Raiders:D in real life :)

Is there a limit on the number of players that can log in?

Are all the changes being made on the server side, or do we need to download anything?

[mrt3o3]

that looks epic!

[Bobafett]

172nd YEY and it looks sweet btw.

GOOD WORK GUYS, CAN'T WAIT!!!

But as soon as I logged back in after getting disconnected 6-7 times, I walked out about 4k out from the outpost, maybe more. And I wasnt getting disconnected at all, it was working great. My friend clanmate and I fought out there too, and the connection was great, no lag or anything.

And then there was some times where I connnected on the un announced (forum post) for just a small group of people test I suppose, I connected the right time cause there was a nice group of people in the outpost, we were all trying out the Imp and Reb factions, and how we changed to each faction. And at that time, I was getting disconnected very rarely. Was working nice and stable.


Cheers, and gj so far on the Emu. Theres so much more to do! Keep up the good work, really.

I used to have the exact same issues during that last stress test. If I was anywhere near the outpost I would be disconnected within 5-10 minutes of getting on, but if I moved to where my computer did not load anyone I would not disconnect at all. Now, I can connect without any lag or disconnects at all. They are constantly updating and/or tweaking the server to make it better so try it once a week when they bring up the server and you'll see how good it has become. :)
