I totally agree with the RAM, processing and especially storage limits. The only reason I have ComputerCraft disabled is because I just wrote program that generates a 100MB file in 5 seconds, which caused me to switch over to RedPower Control. />

lol

btw filesize limits in CC 1.4!

I don't like that its competing.. In reality it isn't. They were both meant to be simultaneous mods.

Ram - it is actually not trivial to take up lots of ram. Processing - no one computer should ever run for longer than 0.1 seconds before being forced to yield in the next version. Storage space - configurable storage space is in the next version.

Thanks Cloudy, so I guess I will keep my server tightly whitelisted until the next version comes out. I can't wait for it! /> Finally I can achieve my dream of building my very own theater (which RPC can't do)! />

I know.... but now RP2 has so much functionality that it sometimes collides with other mods. What's awkward is that I keep bouncing back and forth between the two mods, because I love the SMP-friendliness of RPC but also love the simplicity of CC, but now that's not the case! /> CC FTW!

They aren't competing and Cloudy explained 1.4..

To avoid a drama I won't say anything. Anyways back on topic, I am a bit afraid that someone may eventually program some kind of super-resource intensive program (i.e. a MMO) and thus crash the entire server with its RAM usage.

[Noodle]

NTY, it's next-to-impossible if not impossible. You won't crash yourself unless you are using SERIOUS RAM and you have next to no ram (512 gb -). Another thing, Servers use an average 1GB Ram (1024 MB) and that would be impossible to crash unless you had like 100 Computers with that "MMO Crasher".

[limdingwen]

Thanks! And my server has 2gb.... lol.

Also did you mean 512 mb*? Lol, I doubt that a mc server has 512gb. />

EDIT: How about a fork bomb? Will it eat up the RAM?

@limdingwen I said average is 1GB
HF getting tnt (survival)
A lot of 20 slot servers run on 512GB ram..

I'm really sorry if I am retarded, but I seriously don't understand that.

[Noodle]

I'm saying, have fun getting that much tnt (unless creative) to make a nuke...
Also, a lot of servers run on 512MB ram
Sorry for confusion (MB/GB)

Haha, lol. I was so confused when I corrected it to 512MB and then you said 512GB, then I was like OMG.... />

[Noodle]

Yea, 512GB is more powerful than evar. It's impossible. It's COMPUTER EXPLODING.

Keep it on topic guys.

Ok sorry. Is it possible that you limit the RAM the THREAD uses? I think I saw it somewhere on stack overflow....

[Cloudy]

Nope - I've looked for that myself />

However in normal usage ram usage should remain low (even the MMO example earlier on wouldn't tax the server). I will in the future be looking into methods to limit usage.

[Lyqyd]

And as for the fork bomb possibility mentioned earlier, it would be minimally detrimental right up until it ran out of stack space.

That's what I'm talking about.
