<h1><a name="top">Standalone Version</a></h1>
|
|
<p>The only difference between the regular JAR version and the Standalone
|
|
lies in how it is started. The Standalone contains the <code>Chatty.exe</code>
|
|
which executes the <code>Chatty.jar</code> in the <code>app</code>
|
|
directory using the bundled JRE in the <code>runtime</code> directory,
|
|
which removes the need for Java to be installed and ensures that Chatty
|
|
is started with the same Java version it was compiled and tested with.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Chatty.cfg</h2>
|
|
<p>The <code>Chatty.cfg</code> is located in the <code>app</code> subdirectory
|
|
(where also the <code>Chatty.jar</code> and other Chatty related files
|
|
are).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="cfg-launch">Launch Options</a></h3>
|
|
<p>You can add <a href="help.html#launch">launch options</a> to the <code>Chatty.cfg</code> under the
|
|
<code>[ArgOptions]</code> section. These are given to Chatty when it is
|
|
started. What you would normally separate by
|
|
space goes on it's own line. For example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
[ArgOptions]
|
|
-channel
|
|
joshimuz
|
|
-d
|
|
H:\\Chatty\\settings1</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The format has changed in newer Standalone versions, which requires a
|
|
prefix on each line:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
[ArgOptions]
|
|
arguments=-channel
|
|
arguments=joshimuz</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that for this file, backslashes need to be escaped. For this option
|
|
you can alternatively also use forward slashes, which Java should
|
|
understand.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you specify any launch options on the commandline/in the shortcut,
|
|
then the launch options in the <code>Chatty.cfg</code> are ignored.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="cfg-jvm">JVM/Java Options</a></h3>
|
|
<p>The <code>[JVMOptions]</code> section contains parameters that are given
|
|
to the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) when Chatty is started. There should
|
|
already be a few options there by default, for example:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
[JVMOptions]
|
|
-Xmx400M
|
|
-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>These restrict the maximum heap (memory usage) to 400MB and disable
|
|
Hardware Acceleration to reduce GUI issues.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In newer Standalone versions this needs to be under the <code>[JavaOptions]</code>
|
|
section and also requires a prefix on each line:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
[JavaOptions]
|
|
java-options=-Xmx400M
|
|
java-options=-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false</pre>
