nobody explained to me that it was important!! just to not have duplicate plots. ..
edit: could somebody explain the importance of staggering and ram and such i have 8gb ram and cant set it over 1200without it erroring and stagger i cant set it higher than 2400 without error so i just left them both at 1000
Yeah, those files are fine. With 8GB of RAM, either not enough of it is free, you are on a 32-bit version of Java (or OS!) or your -Xmx value is too small. Either way, stagger isn't too important, it just makes parsing the files a tad faster.
