I - How to configure it
##############################################
----------------------------------------------
a - Prerequisites
----------------------------------------------
* A 64bits Windows/Java JDK is a must-have to run server with geodata. Linux servers don't have the issue.
* The server can start (hardly) with -Xmx3000m. -Xmx4g is recommended.
----------------------------------------------
b - Make it work
----------------------------------------------
To make geodata working:
* unpack your geodata files into "/data/geodata" folder
* open "/config/GeoEngine.ini" with your favorite text editor and then edit following config:
- CoordSynchronize = 2
* If you do not use any geodata files, the server will automatically change this setting to -1.
----------------------------------------------
c - L2D format
----------------------------------------------
* L2D is a new geodata file format. It holds diagonal movement informations, in addition to regular NSWE flags.
* Heavier file weight (+30%), but the pathfinding algorithms are processed way faster (-35% calculation times).
* L2D files can be converted from L2OFF/L2J formats without losing any information. Converter is part of the gameserver.
* Keep in mind to convert new geodata files, once you update your L2OFF/L2J ones.
