PLAYERDATA DAT FORMAT

We are introducing a new playerdata format that can extremely benefit larger servers with an active player base. There is no danger in using this format. You can see playerdata loading/saving improvements of upwards of 100x.

HOW TO CONVERT PLAYERDATA

I suggest you whitelist your server and only have one player online when converting playerdata. You must have file access. Converting will NOT delete your existing data 1. Utilize /kamkeel config playerdata dat/json convert - Wait for complete message - dat will clone all JSON playerdata and convert them into dat and put them into a new folder. - json will clone all DAT playerdata and convert them into json and put them into a new folder. 2. Stop your server/close your world 3. Go into customnpcs folder for your world and remove/rename your playerdata folder. You may keep it somewhere else if you'd like. 4. Rename playerdata_new folder to playerdata 5. Go into SERVER config - CustomNpcPlus/main.cfg and enable B:"Dat Format for PlayerData"=true. FALSE if you want to go back to using JSON
