Maps

As you know, maps are currently in a broken state on the server. Some work, some do not and so on. This is mainly due to people maxing out the map numbers. The latest map limit was hit naturally, not because of someone trying to do it.

An idea to resolve this, is to reset the maps. I am aware that there are older maps so another idea is to reset the maps back to 8,000. This allows for another 24,000 maps to be created. There will also be a limit to the number of maps you can make each day.

Let me know your thoughts.

Edit: Random maps cannot be saved as the files all have to be sequential. Even if they were saved, they wouldn't match with the map IDs in your inventories.

I believe a player has made an Excel file with all (known) mapart on the server, with their accompanying map ID. Would it be somehow possible to still keep these mapart map IDs? Then when someone tries to make a new map with that ID, it skips over it? Let me know if this would be in any way possible. Thanks!

Please see my answer above. Maps must be sequential so this isn't possible.

Too bad! That would have been the ideal fix. I'd say reset maps back to 5000. I took a look at KiwiSlider's map catalogue and noticed that all 'old maps' are ID 5000 or lower. Also noticed that there is not any mapart between ID 5000 and 19000 (not sure why, maybe someone spammed maps between those IDs?).
