Setting up DH SERVER
So far ive ran a pregen of 1024 chunks set to internal server. Im loading lods now for those chunks i generated (if i understand correctly) and im just wondering if i should change some settings for when new players join? will i need to change any settings to speed up the lods for first time joiners?

Ive heard of changing generation mode to pre existing and turning off real time updates but im not sure if i need those settings for multiplayer server

heres a quick ss of loading the lods. i thought it would be quicker since i already generated the whole 1024 chunks
if someone joins the server i cant expect them to sit for hours loading lods....
theres gotta be something im doing wrong
I’m still on the server now running pregen again to test. It shot up to 800/1024 but now it’s slowing down like it’s needing to generate what i already generated last night
@FiNiTe could we continue here so we clutter general too much
internal server mode i think should make both vanilla chunk and lod, and since u had a decently large dh database that seems to be wats happening
as for players loading them it might take awhile for them to download the lods, but they should then stay stored on their pc
also wats that grid like thingy in ur screenshot around the loaded area
ohh
that’s just the debug wireframe showing what is being worked on
it can be enabled in debug
and yeah i had assumed that it would be about double in size compared normal generation
but now that the drive is 60 gigs i’m wondering if some old pregen is lingering somewhere in the disk
since i had canceled it deleted the dh file and restarted pregen on the same server
well idk maybe server has som recycle bin thingy
i can look into that
