I've noticed my CPU usage is pretty high so I started using the profiler plugin and saw these things:



Are these critical? If yes, what's the 'unknown@0x000001f4' ?

Please help!

BoomBoxTimer - 1000ms global timer
CustomPickups - 1000ms global timer

Sorry for the double post! (internet problem)

By the way, these are the plugins I use(in server.cfg order): MySQL R7, Incognito's Streamer, Profiler

[CONTROLA]

How can I do this? Can you tell me, please?

assuming you are using pawno, goto menu "Build" > "Run Options" and look at the 3rd string (last one) - if you didnt touch it yet, its "-r". to add the "-d2" or "-d3" option, simply type it into the box.
to validate, heres how i think your compile options should be setup now: "-r -d3"

maybe its of interest: thats the place where to add the -S<value> for increasing the heap/stack size. due to adding "-S65536", a stack overflow doesnt occur anymore.

-r -w -d3 203 <- These are my current compiler options now. I compiled it and set it up on the host. How can I get the real symbol idea now?

the profiler is not really meant to be used in a public server - it needs a lot of resources.
the best, and quickest way is to add the profiler in your (local) server.cfg, let it profile the gamemode + relevant filterscripts, and let it run for some time.
if any function proves to be cpu-hungry, it will show in the profile output.
oh, i forgot to mention that you need to recompile all scripts, in order to get the symbolic information (like callback names/addresses etc) being written into the .amx file.
its a good idea to start profiling the gamemode only, then add the filterscripts.

edit: heres a short run of my gamemode:

Код:

Type 	Name 			Calls 	Self Time	Total Time
public 	OnGameModeInit 		1 	18.91 		18.91
public 	main 			1 	0.00 		0.00
public 	TimerServicesM 		69 	0.27 		0.27
public 	ZoneXYTimer 		70 	3.61 		3.61
public 	TimerServices4 		1335 	2.05 		2.05
public 	ScrollTimer 		690 	64.89 		64.89
public 	ZoneTimer 		46 	2.19 		2.19
public 	TimerLotto 		66 	0.40 		0.40
public 	TimerSync 		90 	0.43 		0.43
public 	TimerServices3 		140 	1.17 		1.17
public 	TimerServices2 		35 	6.05 		6.05
public 	LevelDecreaseTimer 	2 	0.00 		0.00
public 	TimerServices1	 	1 	0.00 		0.00
public 	OnGameModeExit 		1 	0.01 		0.01

as you can see, my "ScrollTimer" seems to eat a lot of cpu - its one relict i wanted to get rid off, and never optimized it... the "total time" proves it ><

I'm not using any filterscript. I've recompiled the gamemode & npcmodes .pwn files.

Where is the symbolic information supposed to be printed?

[Babul]

the -debug information gets written into the executable .amx file.
the virtual machine which runs the gamemode, wont get any advantage of that, but by using f.ex the crash detect plugin, or here: the profiler plugin, its easy to get the function names, not just their offset in memory (like the address 0x000001f4).
hence that as soon you know the functions name, you know where to start editing the script - at the moment its hard to guess which callback causes the high cpu usage, but i assume it could be the OnPlayerUpdate()..

[CONTROLA]

I've compiled all the scripts and had my server running for about 5 minutes. I still have a lot of unknown@code functions in the function list, from which some are called more than 10000 times and their total time is bigger than 1.00. I've optimised three functions which had high total time but I still can't know what the 'unknown@0x000001f4' is.
By the way, I'm not using OnPlayerUpdate.
