Default Re: Creating a fake map image file

Love the concept but I dont think its going to work.

I tried copying a random maps RGB over another random map of the same size and starting a server game.

My machine had the map that the .map said was being used so no transmitting was done. But the result the old map, with very strange placements of flags. I didnt think that the host needed the graphic file either but apparently it does use it for something.
