Severe Lag at the farm near the center of the map... + cause

[DazzaJay]

Well, ive seen in some servers, severe lag (down to 1FPS) at the farm near the center of the map.

and so, i decided to find the cause on my test server.

and here it is, when an admin creates a car, and destroyes it, it will appear near the farm (mostly under the level), after like...... 50+ admin created cars are destroyed, you can witness severe lag at the farm, and a lot of destroyed vehicles there also.

but yeah, thats all ive got on that.

Nice finding.

I think the destroyed vehicles must be REAL destroyed, KICKED OUT OF THE GAME, not teletransported to a place in the map.

im pretty sure it wasnt intentional to teleport all admin spawned vehicles to the center of the map.

im nocking up a quick video of the phenomina

[DazzaJay]

ok, i have made a video of the problem in action. in the form of a .wmv inside a .zip

it shows the entire issue from Spawning the vehicle thru admin menu, to the vehicle reapearing in the farm.

this happens to any vehicle spawned thru the admin menu, nomatter where in the map it was spawned originally, they all end up here at the farm, most falling thru the level, but are still there under the level , till there is so many of them, that going thru that area takes you down to 1FPS. and just a simple map & gamemode change does not get rid of these reappearing vehicles, the only way to get rid of them is to restart the server (as far as i know).

if you are suffering from this issue, id suggest going easy on spawning cars thru the admin panel untill it is fixed.

this is a known bug, will investigate what causes it but i think it will most likely be gta/mta not the admin resource

i was i another server, with somone who was making it so admin spawned vehicles returned to the place of spawn after 10 seconds of being destroyed, that solved the farm problem, but you still end up with a severe buildup of cars all over the map.
