Basic map requirements

[IBiteBack]

Map restrictions can be checked in game by typing /showmapstats
Mean height is the average map height...Max area is the max open area of the map...Height check is a limit that only gets calculated if you have a room that is over 30 cubes highGood luck mapping.

 
I didn't know about that command--thanks! I'll keep all of that in mind next time I do something like this.

Basic map requirements are here to give the total illusion for some devs that shitty maps are blocked while they are dodging the restrictions instead.

Saddly, that seems to be true.  It seems to me that the devs should just leave the reqs alone.  Most bad maps will die on their own. Those which don't (like twin towers and camper) are enjoyed by many (noobs?) so, just let them have their fun!  The map restrictions seem to be a driving force behind the use of "forks" of AC, which have less strict reqs. But what does that matter? I have no say, anyway.
(and by the way, I generally don't like the "sh**y" maps, either.  HSC is one of the few exceptions to that, since it offers much more variety in gameplay)
