Animals Spawning Like Crazy (Or Animals not despawning)

Hello, I have been having an issue on my server ever since I updated to the 1.5.2 dev build of bukkit. Animals just keep spawning or are just not despawning. I have tried editing some stuff in the bukkit.yml, which slows it down a bit, but does not stop the problem in general. I really need some help on this because the animals are getting to the point where it is lagging some of my players. No one spawned these animals. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Although its not really a fix you utilise Nolagg and set "/nolagg clear animals" and see if it normalises if not use an autocommand plugin to run that command for like every hour until you find a fix. Atleast you will have no lag till you find a fix

 

Is this a bug with bukkit?

 

kdungsoccer - what plugins are you using? Might help someone identify the problem.

 

but it just started to have this animal problem after the update i think

 

This is a couple fixes that I recommend: [1] Take each plugin out and restart to see if anything is fixed. [2] Go through each config/file and double check EACH line of coding. [3] Delete the Bukkit.yml and restart (will create a new one). Best of Luck! ~Polish

 

update bukkit to beta if you havent already. a bug like this existed in bukkit and was fixed a while ago.

 

Thankyou so much! Deleting the bukkit.yml worked!

 

Congratz! ~Polish

 

actually updating bukkit only worked... so if you have this bug... update bukkit
