Screenshot processing about cod4x_server HOT 13 CLOSED

Hi there,
I have to admit to not having tested this feature. Isn't it fork() + execv() ?
If your cod4server process start to lag it is probably caused by a function call which does block for some time. Maybe fork() is doing this? Although fork() is part of many daemons you can find on *nix systems. There a little bit lag is maybe not the issue? I don't really know how to do it better.
Creating a new thread to fork() then?

fork() and execv() are very expensive operations. But yeah, forking in other thread should do the trick.

imho it would be best to just have a plugin callback

In current version it is replaced by creating a new thread and invoking system(). Would be nice to know if it works and if it works better. You need however this library for screenshots you can find on forum.

Alright, I will try to give it a go tonight.

Did not help at all (tested with empty c program as screenshot processor). I noticed that you now wait till player sees someone to take a screenshot 👍

You are saying it still doing lag?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Okay well then I have no idea how to improve it. Is your host weak in general?

from cod4x_server.

Don't think so.
CPU: Intel Xeon E3 1245v2 4 cores/ 8 threads 3.4 GHz+
RAM: 32GB DDR3
DISK: 2 x 2 TB SATA (soft raid)
We host some cod4 server, ts, some webtools, and a minecraft server there. Low resource usage.

Okay I still can't do anything if launching a new process does load the whole system so much.

from cod4x_server.

It doesn't load whole system, that's the point. It only makes the server that's currently receiving screenshots lag. Anyway, thanks for trying.

added a plugin callback to enable a more leightweight screenshot processing and avoid manual parsing.
