He might have been talking about latest revision. There are huge permormace improvements. Try it out.

rock5 is right, newest version is very cool!

BTW, I see a problem when I run 20 clients or more cause my inet connection seems to be bottleneck - 2mbit/256kbit /s (download/upload); ealier I had 20mbit/1mbit /s (download/upload), but had much weaker computer than current.

20 clients?!

I just run 7 of them, have tried to cut motion.fdb as lisa suggested, using a slim-client and have still 690-750 MB usage / client.

How did u get 20 clients to be running?

Make sure you have a programme to help with mem usage like CleanMem
http://www.pcwintech.com/cleanmem

I have an old PC that I use and have removed all motion, tesxtures and models.
Clients are at 500mb when they first start, I use cleanmem and then they sit under 100mb

[franek]

Yep, as lisa said. Use newest revision like rock5 advised, "delete" files like lisa advised and use cleanmem or something else and run easily 20 bots or more. If you getting crash (after ~24h) or something disable aero and other stuff in Windows 7. Good luck!

@ franek: wow 40-70MB?! how the hell did u do that? I have removed motion motion.fdb texture0 - texture4, sound and music, also experimented with some wdb files. Removing model.fdb cause everytime a falling through the ground.

All that have a result of 590-650 MB of RAM usage / each client. Can u explain, what exactly did u remove? Have u simply used lisas "motionremoved.zip" or something more?

thx in advance!

You still haven't tried with Cleanmem have you.

[gloover]

Ups, sorry lisa, U've right again! Have set Cleanmen to clean memory every 2 min. if client.exe increase 200mb of memory usage, now dumped the memory usage down to <100MB.
Never thought, that this tool can conjuring those effects!

THX again!

[rock5]

A bit off topic, but I went to my nephews today to help him see if he can run the bot on his pc. Never could before.

The game takes about 45% cpu and micromacro was using 80%. I thought I'd failed again but I remembered someone said that audio dll used cpu. So I removed that and now it's 50%. Can just barely run the bot succesfully if I set both the game and micromacro to high priority.

Makes me think there has to be more that could be done to improve the performance. He has a Pentium 4 2.4 btw.

@rock5
Wow, nice I remeber when I was botting on athlon 64 3000+ - hoooooly crap

@gloover
I'm glad you get advices to your mind.

As I can see 10 bots (eggs) can easily work on and on. The only problem which I have is my ISP (dynamic IP and automatically reset my connection after 24h, ealier ISP didn't do that ); 10 bots ofc with aero on, cause my eyes hate aero off with no crash or performance loss, etc.


EDIT: I think I have not to tell that, but screw it On Smacht server I see GM doesn't care about bot or sth cause I'm still not banned, hue hue. My friend was, but he sold 60 stacks of egg in AH ]:->

@ rock: what sound file do u mean by that? Micromacro doesn't contain any sound.dll or something similar!
Do u mean OpenAL?

Yes.

Hej r5 changelog Looks Nice will test it tonight. But i found the Problem why my CPU runs totally crazy. Just removed some for my bot useless x:Updates and ifs and add 2 yrest. Ps:try processlasso

[IronWolf]

im kinda sure i love you guys! (lisa and rock5 specialy ^_^)

used that clean mem.. before i used it, i had 3 clients open,
playing client - 1,2 giga mem taking
botting cliet - 1 giga mem taking
alt for ks botting - 500 mega mem taking.

now the bot is around 400, the alt is around 27 and my main playing sometimes gets to 1 giga but thats 1.5giga vs 3giga, i got 6 giga, and as you know, w7 takes 1.7 giga, so earlier, while botting i could do just about nothing... now i can acctualy study and may have a chance with my exams! (and thats good cause the 4th year of a system information engineer requires quite some time lol!)

thanks alot for the tips, helped alot.

[franek]

Good tip for everyone who is having fun with cleanmem, etc.:
My physical limit of RAM is 7.73GB (~256MB is reserved for integrated GPU, but nvm), I was disappointed when I got crashed after some time of botting. The problem was.... Page File As u can see on CleanMem's icon in tray there are 3 things: Memory Used (the number of used physical memory - RAM ofc), Memory Total (total ram which u physicaly have) and the last Commit Total (number of ram which had to be use or sth, hard to explain, but I will give it a try). Let's make it simple. For example, I started around 13 bots and used CleanMem. Memory used - 6,8GB <- nice, I still have some free ram to open new bots! But Commit Total is 8,8GB. So I opened new RoM client and... Crash?! WTF? The problem was page file. In my case it was 512MB (:D), I set it manually when I installed windows. To have no crash let do some math: the sum of your RAM and Page File should be (for safety) more than Commit Total. I set 1-4GB page file and still have no crash when my Memory Used is around 7,5GB, so give it a try if you have thing like me!

EDIT: And hell yeah aero still works! Even with that almost maximum ram usage On ealier rig it was impossible. I3-2120 rox

[rock5]

I don't think that will help most people. Most people will have the page file set to default and the default is usually to have it about the same size as memory.

[lisa]

first thing I do when I install an OS is change page file to be around 4gig.
Most hard drives won't miss the 4gig since they are so big now days.

I never crash in RoM, when everyone around me is crashing in SW I still keep going =)

[franek]

I have an idea, but I need more 10 clients or so to check one thing: set page file up to 10gb or more and run more and more clients. I think my inet connection will be fucked or cpu will not manage. I know that SSD isn't that fast as DDR3 are, but at least better to have a page file (for that test) on it than on traditional HDD. I will check it later and post about stability and whatever.

[IronWolf]

im missing something..
each client takes about 20 cpu usage, and sometimes the micromacro takes 20 aswel, how do you guys manage to activate 10 clients? my cpu is having trouble handling 3 client..

is there a way to help the cpu? lowering anything in game? would love help in that area aswell
thanks.

[franek]

Ok, can't run more than 21 clients. I noticed that GPU ram is full, 2h of working and 8 clients got crashed.

@IronWolf
Are you using nvidia graphic card with 2-core CPU under windows 7?
