L2jMobius has data oriented pathfinder since May.

Already have "less memory" used for geodata since 3 weeks ago.
Avoiding 1 GB less memory in geodata on latest clients.

Not to mention rolling with an actual geodata generator since 3 weeks ago again.

We also did actual benchmarks, tests with actual players, and decided to not use AI slop navmesh.
I guess working only on a 10 year old client gives you a lot of free time and need to kill your boredom somehow...
Need to show some progress somehow... Kinda get it...

And unlike aCis we do release our full work every 4 months.
So expect to actually see our work on this Christmas release.

The worst geoengine I've ever seen in my life—L2jMobius Free or Premium, which one is the worst? Mobius doesn't compare to the worst version of aCis.

They are loading the geodata as pages handled by OS. Avoiding allocating heap that has both size and CPU overhead. It's abou 300MB less ram usage. That's the first part.

 

The 2nd part is that they have a coarser grid of connected nodes that makes path finding faster compared to the cell based granularity searches. Does it have downsides ? Yes. In closed areas, if there's a gate less than 128 wide, a monster can't pathfind through it and will simply teleport through the wall. But all in all, their CPU saving with this on high loaded servers is very decent. 

 

These two feautres of aCis, I believe your pack is lacking, so its a good idea to port them to L2JMobius.

Actually L2JMobius geoengine has optimizations that aCis doesn't have. So both packs can borrow ideas from each other to get better. They are both very good packs. You can't go wrong with either of them.

Since last forums fail, I decided to introduce a little website over PTS server holder - just to make basic informations more reachable. You can discover it over http://anothercrappyinterludeserver.com/

 

Discord channels ACCESS TO SOURCES and SERVER INSTALLATION were also reworked to be easier to handle.

Throw a free cloudflare SSL cert in there.
