One thing that we could possibly do when there is an update is edit the map, we have an area in which our projects are built, which over time will grow, but every once in a while we trim the outer areas of the map, then when someone walks into an area that has been prevoiusly deleted new map will be generated with the new content as well.Sambo wrote:NeilPearson wrote:I hear ya sam!
its frustrating to have built something for it then to dissapear to nothing. in the first map we had i had finished my castle walls and then we had the server crash and it was gone. so a reset was needed. Was gutted.
Saying that though, the only reason it was done this time was for new content. we wont just reset the map willy nilly, its only going to be on new content.
Absolutely, for new content its completely understandable. The issue is, how often this content comes along. At the moment its too frequent and it necessitates having a new map which is frustrating. So its not more so the decision of people that's annoying its the lack of compatibility I guess.
If Astro doesn't mind sending me the original map I'll have a go at trimming it as I've used MCEdit a fair amount and I'm pretty comfortable with it, maybe this is an option we can try out.
