[Share] Optimizing your mod.

[DreaM]

So that's basically a guide in which you can find useful thingies that can help you optimize your module and your server aswell making it run faster and smoother.

 

    * When you aren't using a certain plug-in do not only put ; infront of its name in the plugins.ini , instead , just delete it as well as the plug-in delete its models/sounds that go with it. It's also practical to stop the modules which you don't use of the plug-in because they are wasting a lot of resources.

    * Don't implement a lot of uneeded plug-ins that will only slow down your server, don't think they make your server better no they just slow it down and it causes it to lag.

    * Do not put optimization plug-ins they usually do not work [unless they are anti-bugs] because they are bigger and they cause bigger of a loading to your server.

 

For the modules

 

    * Do not use modules that can slow down the process of your machine if she's not a good one, for example if your Computer sucks it's obvious you should NOT host GG. Zombie, Predator games.

    * Remove the uneeded informations of the modules [see below]

    * For optimal decrease of the lag use the program called HL Server Rates. It has an online version , which is better. [send me a PM if you wat the program]

    * After you calculated the rates of your Machine and internet connection implement them in your "cstrike/server.cfg"

 

Removal of uneeded information

Okay so a lil bit of explanation. This is the whole information in .cfg and the .ini files. I'll give you an example :

 

 

; AMX Mod X plugins

; Admin Base - Always one has to be activated
admin.amxx      ; admin base (required for any admin-related)
;admin_sql.amxx      ; admin base - SQL version (comment admin.amxx)

; Basic
admincmd.amxx      ; basic admin console commands
adminhelp.amxx      ; help command for admin console commands
adminslots.amxx      ; slot reservation
multilingual.amxx   ; Multi-Lingual management

; Menus
menufront.amxx      ; front-end for admin menus
cmdmenu.amxx      ; command menu (speech, settings)
plmenu.amxx      ; players menu (kick, ban, client cmds.)
;telemenu.amxx      ; teleport menu (Fun Module required!)
mapsmenu.amxx      ; maps menu (vote, changelevel)
pluginmenu.amxx      ; Menus for commands/cvars organized by plugin

; Chat / Messages
adminchat.amxx      ; console chat commands
antiflood.amxx      ; prevent clients from chat-flooding the server
scrollmsg.amxx      ; displays a scrolling message
imessage.amxx      ; displays information messages
adminvote.amxx      ; vote commands

; Map related
nextmap.amxx      ; displays next map in mapcycle
mapchooser.amxx      ; allows to vote for next map
timeleft.amxx      ; displays time left on map

; Configuration
pausecfg.amxx      ; allows to pause and unpause some plugins
statscfg.amxx   

 

    * Instead of it you can simply write the name of your plugin [ex yourpluginname.amxx] instead of loads of explanations for it. They slow down your server a lot.

    * Just let empty plugins.ini and users.ini [unless plugins and users] It's simple :].

 

Hope i helped .
