    # --- Cell Size Calculation ---
    # Many parameters below are defined in "cell units".
    # In RecastDemo, you often work with world units instead of cell units.
    # The actual generator uses (src/tools/mmaps_generator/Config.cpp:28):
    #
    #     cellSize = MMAP::GRID_SIZE / vertexPerMapEdge
    #
    # Where:
    #     MMAP::GRID_SIZE = 533.3333f (the size of one map tile in world units)
    #     vertexPerMapEdge = number of vertices along one edge of the full map grid
    #
    # Example (AC stock):
    #     vertexPerMapEdge = 2000 → cellSize ≈ 533.3333 / 2000 ≈ 0.2667 yd
    #
    # IMPORTANT: when changing vertexPerMapEdge, the per-cell parameters
    # below (walkableHeight, walkableClimb, walkableRadius) must be re-scaled
    # to preserve their world-unit semantics. Doubling vertexPerMapEdge
    # halves cellSize, so cell counts must double to keep the same yd value.
    #
    # To convert a value from cell units to world units (e.g., walkableClimb),
    # multiply by cellSize. For example, a walkableClimb of 6 at 2000 resolution:
    #     6 × 0.2667 ≈ 1.60 yd

    # Minimum ceiling height (in cell units) NPCs need to pass under an obstacle.
    # Controls how much vertical clearance is required.
    # To convert to world units, multiply by cellSize (see "Cell Size Calculation").
    # 6 cells × 0.2667 yd ≈ 1.60 yd — matches WoW player capsule height at
    # 2000 resolution (AC stock). Preserves the 1.60 yd world-unit
    # ceiling-clearance requirement.
    walkableHeight: 6

    # Maximum height difference (in cell units) NPCs can step up or down.
    # Higher values allow walking over fences, ledges, or steps.
    # To convert to world units, multiply by cellSize (see "Cell Size Calculation").
    #
    # Vanilla WotLK uses 6, which allows creatures to "jump" over fences.
    # Classic WotLK uses 4, which forces creatures to walk around fences.
    # 6 cells × 0.2667 yd ≈ 1.60 yd — Vanilla-WotLK step semantics at
    # 2000 resolution. Preserves the 1.60 yd world-unit step. The mmap
    # is shared with every creature, NPC patrol, escort, and quest mob;
    # tightening below stock breaks patrols that cross 1.5y ledges.
    walkableClimb: 4

    # Minimum distance (in cell units) around walkable surfaces.
    # Helps prevent NPCs from clipping into walls and narrow gaps.
    # To convert to world units, multiply by cellSize (see "Cell Size Calculation").
    # 2 cells × 0.2667 yd ≈ 0.53 yd — AC stock world-unit buffer at
    # 2000 resolution. Tested wider (= 0.71y world units): erodes polys
    # near mountains/cliffs so pathfinder routes through surviving
    # (higher/worse) polys → bot climbs mountains.
    walkableRadius: 2

    # Number of vertices along one edge of the entire map's navmesh grid.
    # Higher values increase mesh resolution but also CPU/memory usage.
    # 2000 = AC stock baseline. cellSize ≈ 0.2667 yd.
    vertexPerMapEdge: 2000

    # Number of vertices along one edge of each tile chunk.
    # Must divide vertexPerMapEdge evenly — the generator uses integer
    # division: tilesPerMapEdge = vertexPerMap / vertexPerTile
    # (src/tools/mmaps_generator/Config.cpp:144).
    # A higher vertex count per tile means fewer total tiles,
    # reducing runtime work to load, unload, and manage tiles.
    # 80 = AC stock baseline. 2000 / 80 = 25 tiles per map edge, 625
    # tiles per map (~21y per tile). Lots of small tiles, low per-tile
    # RAM, more seams to stitch across.
    vertexPerTileEdge: 80

    # Tolerance for how much a polygon can deviate from the original geometry when simplified.
    # Higher values produce simpler (faster) meshes but can reduce accuracy.
    # 0.8 (vs the AC stock 1.8 and recast canonical 1.3) keeps polygon
    # edges close to real terrain. Targets "merged step into ramp"
    # simplification artifacts that produce corner-cuts and false NOPATH.
    maxSimplificationError: 0.8

    # You can override any global parameter for a specific map by specifying its map ID.
    # Inside each map override, you can also override parameters per individual tile,
    # identified by a string "tileX,tileY" (coordinates).
    #
    # Overrides cascade: global settings → map overrides → tile overrides.
    # For example:
    #
    # mapsOverrides:
    #   "0":                              # Map ID 0 overrides
    #     walkableRadius: 5               # Override global climb height for entire map 0
    #
    #     tilesOverrides:
    #       "50,70":                      # Tile at coordinates (50,70) on map 0
    #         walkableSlopeAngle: 70      # Override slope angle locally just here
    #         walkableClimb: 4            # Also override climb height for this tile only
    #
    #       "51,71":
    #         walkableClimb: 3            # Override climb height for tile (51,71)
    #
    #       "48,32":
    #         walkableClimb: 1            # Even smaller climb for tile (48,32)
    #
    #   "1":                              # Map ID 1 overrides example
    #     walkableHeight: 8               # Increase clearance for whole map 1
    #
    #     tilesOverrides:
    #       "100,100":

    #

    #         walkableRadius: 1           # Smaller NPC radius here for tight corridors

    # on a per-map and per-tile basis, optimizing pathfinding quality and performance.

  # debugOutput generates debug files in the `meshes` directory for use with RecastDemo.
  # This is useful for inspecting and debugging mmap generation visually.
  #
  # My workflow:
  # 1. Install RecastDemo. I'm building it from the source of this fork: https://github.com/jackpoz/recastnavigation
  # 2. In-game, move your character to the area you want to debug.
  # 3. Type `.mmap loc` in chat. This will output:
  #    - The current tile file name (e.g., `04832.mmtile`)
  #    - The Recast config values used to generate that tile
  # 4. Enable `debugOutput` and regenerate mmaps (preferably just the tile from step 3).
  #    - To regenerate only one tile, delete it from the `mmaps` folder.
  # 5. After generation, you will find debug files in the `meshes` folder, including an OBJ file (e.g., `map0004832.obj`)
  # 6. Copy these debug files to the `Meshes` folder used by RecastDemo.
  #    - RecastDemo expects this folder to be in the same directory as its executable.
  # 7. In RecastDemo:
  #    - Click "Input Mesh" and select the `.obj` file
  #    - Choose "Solo Mesh" in the Sample selector
  # 8. (Optional) Reuse the Recast config values from step 3:
  #    - `cellSizeHorizontal` → "Cell Size"
  #    - `walkableSlopeAngle` → "Max Slope"
  #    - `walkableClimb` → "Max Climb"
  #    - and so on
  # 9. Scroll to the bottom of RecastDemo UI and press "Build" to generate the navigation mesh
