[crossfire] Python guild & mlab maps status.

[Mitch Obrian]

Making a script to chunkify the bigger maps might be a
good idea.

The mlab world maps are only 140^2 though (I'm
assuming load times is the issue? Bigger maps tend to
take a 1/2 sec to load on older computers).

I don't think the apartments have any issues, I tested
them when I made them, and when I motified them after
that... but who knows, mistakes happen.
