Server skin audit?

Hux and I have been going over the game servers. We've already shut down JK2 classes since it was using too much RAM (~100M). Hux's server runs much more than our game servers, and I don't want the rest of his work to suffer because of our games.

Each game server uses between 70 and 100M of RAM. The system is using it's swap file, which is making things go nutty slow (and can affect ping times).

We have 2 options: either not run as many servers, or slim down our current servers. I'd like to remove a majority of the custom skins we're using. Like all of them. I know that'll piss a few of you off, but I think it may be necessary to preserve system integrity. Before I do this I'd like your opinions on the matter. Well what say you?

On a side note to this, I would like people to please stop coming up to me and asking me to upload stuff to the Servers for you.
I don't care if they are Lightsaber Hilts, Models, Skins or Maps.
I've got too much on my plate right now to be worrying about petty stuff like a Students wanting a "Dragonball Z" or whatever the hell it is skin on the Servers.

If it's not Star Wars related, it will never be uploaded.

Stop asking me!

I say do whatever you gotta do to make the servers run fast. Custom skins and sabers aren't all that exciting anyways.

throwing away all the customs is okay for me,
but maybe it would be nice to have a few
more heads/bodies/legs in the in-game custom
thingy.
With this a lot of combinations are possible without
putting that much skins on the server.

We don't need custom skins. The default skins are good enough. I wouldn't even dream of using anything other than a Reelo skin.

Why?

Because he's a FAT, SEXY, PIMP.

Carry on.

A good start would be to choose one Fett skin and dump the rest. We do not need multiple versions of Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Phil Fett, Billy Bob Fett and all the rest of the Fett clan whose skins all look pretty much alike because they all wear the same armour.

Well....I am sorta attached to my custom skin. But a general purge of unused or variations on same skins would work nicely.

I like the skin packs, so I'd be sad to see them go. I don't want to see a server of identical Skins. :)

But you must do what you think is best

For example, we have 5 Boba Fett (or Jango Fett) skins, 7 skins of that Jedi Master with a head with a tail (:P) and so on... 1 skin for each character should be enough.


I said that first Bail! :D

Probably goes for the rest of those skins too!

I think it'd be a good idea to remove the skins - even with the defaults, we're still spoilt for choice. :D
