    NOTE: Just before suggesting this idea, I know Build has many issues with saving maps on servers. I know this is just an idea, and that it probably won't be added due to complications with Build.

    Alright, here it is. Lets say you are on a Build server, it is lagging, and you want to go on another Build server. When you get to the new Build server, you have to wait for the map to load on your server (which takes forever). Well this idea is that when you are on a Build server, you can left click the map icon (in /maps) to load the map on your server or right click to go to the server the map is loaded on. This means that you can take the map from an old server, and load it on a new one. This could be useful when a server crashes, and all of the maps from the crashed server is still loaded on the crashed server, and you have to wait for the crashed server to reboot. Just to clarify, the map will only be loaded on one server at a time.

    To stop abuse of this addition, only map Owners & Managers can reload the map on a new server. There could also be a cool-down of this to prevent massive amounts of loading on server to server.

    Thanks for reading this :stuck_out_tongue:

    Ok, I like the thought, but when a server crashes, it goes offline, meaning it cant be accessed by you or the network, so if you were to load the map on another server, any progress no already saved to the network would then be lost, besides the wait is usually 1 to 3 minutes, perfect time for a bathroom break.

    Although that is true, 95% of the time when a server crashes, no progress is lost. This means that a saved version of the map is still out there somewhere. Now, when a server explodes and you get the "Timed Out" screen, everything is screwed :V

    True, but remember, you are getting back on the server that crashed, so the progress is saved to it.

    I would like an unload command to pull it off of all servers... But make it to where only the owner has access so that anyone below owner won't just pull the map from under you mid edit. That would suck.

    Hmm.....

    Not exactly.

    The server locks your map for this specific reason. It is waiting for the version from the crashed server to be uploaded (this is done when the server boots back up) so progress isn't lost. Hence, the system that you are asking to disable is actually doing something.
