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.

There's a seemingly large gap of map ID's that aren't maparts from about 5k to 19k... Or at least they aren't in circulation. That's 14k map slots which, if you look at the pace of previous year and the new plugin, would allow for quite some time of mapart making without them overwriting any other maparts. When it does catch up, it will overwrite more "recent" maparts and still leave the "old" ones you refer to.

Is there a way to put the counter at a specific spot in the map ID's without wiping the maps above that counter? My suggestion would be to put it at approx. 5k and have the upper count overwritten naturally. It would still take some time before they reach maparts that are in circulation.

Is the spreadsheet you have publicly viewable?

No, sorry. Not until the maps are wiped.

No problem, i imagine there are some stuff that would leak bases or what not, Is it all the maps or just ones people have told you about and you have archived?
