uisleep instead of sleep function

[MGT]

Credit to infiSTAR who originally found this, building on this i've converted all mission file scripts on my server now to use uisleep instead of sleep, i'm noticing performance improvements. I'm now gradually converting any sleep in server files to uisleep.

What it does is add sleep from real time instead of diag tick time. If you have a very busy server with a lot of players, diag tick time can be slowed down and therefore delay things further, by using uisleep instead, this should cut down on delays.

 

For example, when purchasing a vehicle there's a sleep, if your server has a lot of players on, a lot of scripts and a lot of bases, a slowdown will delay the appearance of purchased vehicles as there's a normal sleep command in there. I'm testing replacing some server files sleep with uisleep and will report on my findings.

thx for the tip ;) noticed that when having missions and stuff not executing when they should, so this should solve it!

This sounds too good to be true. Unreliable timers are my worst enemy.

Update, now testing my dayz_server.pbo with all sleep functions replaced with uisleep

[MGT]

Depends how many sleeps are called in AI files?

Yes Chris, it works on mission files scripts as well as server file scripts

Just would like to know to look for any performance improvements :)

I'll be working on this on the upcoming weekend. Sounds like so much fun /sarcasm :P

[Turtle II]

so is the uisleep change worth it?
