Allocating More RAM for already running server

[ccathcart123]

Hi, i already have a ftb ultimate server running that me and a couple friends have been using. I dident do anything special during initial setup and i just dragged the server client into a desktop folder and ran it. I was wondering if there was a way to allocate more RAM to the server? A short little description would be helpful!

are you running on WIN or on Linux?

Windows 7

Linux is slightly more effective when using ram, so If I were you I should consider changing to linux.

dito.

But you can change the starting parameter of your server anyways.
Make sure Java 7 is installed and then create a txt file. Change its type to .bat and name it as you like (eg. Start.bat).
Write the following inside:

java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar ftb_jar.jar nogui

Put the script into the folder of your server and make sure your .jar has the same name as in the script.
the two numbers (1024) show the allocated RAM. Change them to 2048 for two gig or something else.

Any questions?

Hm, be carefull you don't overdo that because when you do, it's going to be a problem and probably you are gonna smell plastic.

I dont think so. The worst case is a very slow computer.

. . .You guys forgot to tell him that he needs to run 64 bit Java in order to use more than 1.5 gigs of memory for the server.

In order to run 64 bit Java you need a 64 bit OS, so if your Windows 7 is 32 bit your hosed.
