Is there a way to send movement packets better? Right now I send a movement packet every 130 milliseconds for a player and 160 milliseconds for a monster. This causes extreme lag on even a VPS (Virtual Private Server). I spawned about 20 chickens, and bam, you can't even see anything move anymore. Is there a better way to send movement packets? Like maybe sending a larger packet then parsing it on the client?

By the way, what was sent was like this:

x = int
y = int
frame = byte
stance = byte
directon = byte

That adds up to.. 11 bytes.

Thanks.

- Instead of sending a separate 11 byte packet for every monster/player, group them into a bigger packet. (like 1 packet with an array of info for every monster)
- You could also consider only sending the information if it changed. So only send a packet if a monster moved or changed stance of whatever.

hmm, so you mean send a 110 byte message every 1.6 seconds? I'm wondering how to synch it if I did it that way. Also, I cannot calculate movement/collisions on the server side.

or are you talking about, like

byte - number of monsters
then for each monster
objectid - int
x - int
y - int
frame - byte
stance - byte
direction - byte

So, if I had like 20 monsters in a map it would send 221 bytes? In 1 bigger packet?

This is for MS right?
If it is, you will have to edit the client to read all of the data from one packet...
Maplestory gets the packet, reads the first 11 bytes, and then throws the packet away again (im pretty sure...), so if you make a packet on 121 bytes or something, MS will read the first 11 bytes, and then delete the rest...
The only method to avoid lagg, is to make a higher delay
20 chickens you say?, what about a better server then?
