Bots/NPCs question - PawnoQ - 14.01.2014

hi,

am i limited as far as nbc connecting is concerned? (except they take player slots)

Do they cause lag or higher up the used server resources a lot?

please help

Each bot runs its own samp-npc(.exe) process. I believe you're only limited to the amount of system resources you have available.

Re: Bots/NPCs question - PawnoQ - 14.01.2014

thanks for the fast reply already

Do you know if one bot uses a lot of resources?
Could you make a comparement to a normal player?
Does a bot use more or less server resources then a regular player?

I especially needed to know if i can connect some bots with no problem to the server or already about 5 bots
would increase server lag or smth.

Maybe this will give you an idea.

Maybe 1 percent of 1 core at best at least on our host.

Re: Bots/NPCs question - PawnoQ - 14.01.2014

thanks but i cant really read smth. understandable out of this log post, could you please give me a hint?
So one bot uses a lot more resources then one regular player and already a low number would decrease server performance dramastically?

Re: Bots/NPCs question - maramizo - 14.01.2014

What his logs are showing is that the NPC's always take 1% CPU of one core, no matter what.

Re: Bots/NPCs question - Pottus - 14.01.2014

Well those ones are likely in use actually there is indeed 300 NPC's with my system with most not doing anything at low server usage.

Re: Bots/NPCs question - PawnoQ - 15.01.2014

thanks, so only when bots arein use they use resources right? (and not when just connected)

So lets say there are 5 bots on server each one walking around it wouldnt decrease server performance and create any lag right?

Re: Bots/NPCs question - PawnoQ - 16.01.2014
