I know this is going to be a pretty generic post, and I'm sure plugins are related. I really want to re-introduce spout to my server, but I had to pull it because of excess lag being generated. Admittedly the clients are still using minecraft, not spoutcraft (as much as I have suggested they change), but from what I've read that shouldn't matter. I don't get any 'error messages' relating to issues, and lagmeter reports the server running full strength at all times. I do get a report from NoCheat, saying player violated godmode or could be lagging, after that they drop out and have to log back in. After I pulled spout from me server it improved dramatically once again. The same results occurred with 2nd latest and latest build (as I have now pulled it, I'm sorry I don't recall build numbers). As I said, I'm pretty sure plugins are causing this, as such my list of plugins are as follows:
Autosave, CFBanner, Chaircraft, Commandbook, Commandlog, Easyflight, Falsebookblock, Falsebookchat, Falsebookcore, Falsebookextra, FalsebookIC, iConomy6, Lagmeter, Lockette, MineBackup, (all)Minecartmania, Minequery, NoCheat, OKChat, Permissions (3.1.6 Yeti), PermAttProv, PermSQL, Residence, ResidenceSigns, Runecraft, SheepFeed, Worldedit, Chestshop, NoLagg.
As Afforess is the main developer of both spout and MM, I wonder if he knows any major issues (incidentally, I had a few issues getting MM to work 100% in 1.8.1, but with bukkit 1337 it has seemed to resolve itself).
I have used default config for spout. Also, even on Spout test server, I see a lot of blocks showing an X-Ray type effect.
I know this is an ambigous report, like I said, no errors to report in console. Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I'm gonna have to drop spout, but I don't want that to sound like a threat or anything, I'm just disappointed in performance and got very frustrated trying to fix these issues.
