## what are mmaps:
mmaps is short for movement maps...

this is the handling of creature pathfinding and pathing.
for more info: [navmesh](http://code.google.com/p/recastnavigation/) and [CritterAI](http://critterai.org/cainav/home)

what this means in simple terms is it stops mobs and creatures from going through the walls,

and sticking to los (line of sight - collision maps).

## How extract mmaps. (mmaps2 branch)
* after you have everything built extract maps and dbc's the same as you always have.

* extract the vmaps and assemble as you always have. (save the Buildings dir this will be used later)

* in you BIN dir (server directory) *data/ dir (directory holding your maps and dbcs)
copy mmaps_extractor to this location,

* add the libmysql/ace.dll to *data dir. ( it is needed for mmaps_extractor to run)

* create an empty folder named mmaps. (this is where all generated mmaps tiles will go)

* now move everything from inside buildings directory into your vmaps folder...(*data/vmaps)
and run the mmaps_extractor...

* last step the easiest of all, just kick back with a movie, and wait til it finishes.

(Note: for some depending on your machine, this could be a very long wait).
