Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

Total users online within the last 1 mins: 26

Total users online within the last 15 mins: 80

Total users online within the last 1 hours: 127

Total users online within the last 24 hours: 342

I would never use this. Crons are way to go.

And those everyday..Not the most recorded. Game i would say is mostly successful cause it was never mentioned on here. lol

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

A better way is to get rid of any sort of 1min "cron". Just use timestamps on hospital and jail..

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

How can a time stamp be better?

It runs everytime anyone loads a page.

So 80 online clicking pages like crazy just playing the game they ahve a crap load of quersy running.

Sorry but there is no way that running a query Every Load of a page by Every person or Even just that person is better than only running that query 1 time a minute.

So lets see.......if 80 people clicked 1 page every minute...that means that query ran 80 different tiem in 1 minute

On a cron it runs 1 time...

Even with the query only selecting through it still has to check. so its stull running CPU its Imposible for this way to be better.

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

Thanks for explainging that agian POG1...BUt I did understand 100% I wrote something like this 2 or 3 months ago. ANd its slow....

What I mean by that is...Every page load your checking that code..and in case of example

 

You're unable to view this code.

Your loading that every page click....Like i was saying 20 players online 20 players every time they click the database is checked for that...

Now on a Cron its only check when the cron is ran. Now I agree a 1 minute cron is not the best option. But I would not go with this still....Guess I didnt explain good.. Cause i really don't explain good... Best thing to do is to remove the 1 minute cron and add it to the 5 minute cron. THen you only have it running every 5 mintues....Now. That we have it on 5 minute cron

Can you still honestly say/think. That running a check of the hosp/jail tiem every 5 minute. Is Slower than yoru way(checking eery click of a page by every single person online)

Now i can see this faster if you onloy hoave 10 onlin AND you have 2000 people signed up

Cuase in that factor your having 2000 checks rather than 10

but that can be fixed with somethign that eveyrone should ahve done anyway with adding time on the end of query WHERE laston < time() - 360;

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

There is actually a much better way to do this, that takes absolutely no strain on your server whatsoever.

I'll post something about it maybe in a day or two.

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

 

I would also like to know the exact same question as dementor. If you don't reply leave my thread alone ;)

sounds rather threatening to me

I look forward to reading your reply/post Cronus

@ alabama. In your game you will be checking for people in hospital with something like this.

You're unable to view this code.

I don't see how it will be faster to run a cron to decrement the values every minute, when you can just use something like this.

So your telling me instead of using a single time function you would rather use lengthy crons..

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

good point but there would really be no point in a extra file it would be simple enough to just add the script in anything relating to or adding someone to hospital.

im sure horizon game engine will run something along these lines

thats isnt even in the cron..

and you just proved my point...yours runs the function every time anyone loads any page...

and cron runs it once a minute..

and if you know what your doing. .Your cron will be clean and efficient Not Long...my minute cron has 2 querys..........for example.

I run 2 querys every min.

Your way would run those querys Every load of every page by every person Its Impossible for your way here to be better.. Impossible.

Your way only does it to be people that needs if...God i hope thats not the responce. Cuase mine only checks ones that needs it to..

so don't blame it on a lengthy cron..If they cant clean up their cron thats there fault... And i already said this would be ok for a small game. but alot of people online at one time..I see it as impossible.

I would break it down like last time showing numbers of querys ran..but no point...cause you just looked right past that.

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

Your wrong. Someone is put into hospital for an hour, so 60 mins.

With a cron it would take 1 query to add the number into the database then another 60 queries to decrement the value. With a total of61 queries.

With the method i suggested it would take 1 query to update them into the database resulting in 1 query in total. Thats almost a 100% reduction in queries..

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

wots the point ?

 

Well, let's start off with the querys:

Now here is the file:

still in a file and you running more querys ?

The point is to provide a solution to cut down cron activity

Most servers hate crons most sites just hate mccodes cause of the crons.

So what is trying to be achieved here is providing a solution to the people who don't have access to those crons

Also attempting to maximize the efficiency of the MCC source so a faster yet better solution is provided.

 

If you don't like it don't use it simple shit.

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons

I recently started using time stamp for accurate time keeping it's actually better for some things than cron, well actually most things.

Good job Kyle and Pog1

skeptics i suggest you keep your nose out of things you don't understand
