Greetings gentle people of the interwebs,


Let me tell you a little story. So I spent a multitude of hours creating a world map that wasn't going to be used in my project, & an underworld map that also wasn't going to be used in project. Why you might ask? Well I am creating a zeldaish system of interconnected maps, because I don't like the world maps all that much. So naturally I was using these two maps, to plot out the actual maps for my project. Namely, each tile on the world map, & each tile on the underworld map, will each be its own map. So I need to plot out all of the traversable paths of these individual maps, which maps connect to which, where they connect, ensuring there are no maps that aren't accessible by the paths created, designating paths to be roadways that are more direct routes between major settlements that would have evolved over time, the paths of various cave/dungeon systems, where those cave/dungeon systems connect with the surface, etcetera.


So after both maps are done I begin I lay out the standard dimensions of what will be world field & underworld field maps, & start copy & pasting the maps, naming them based on their coordinates on the world & underworld map templates respectively, so that I can remember what each map is suppose to be, & which maps it's suppose to connect with which. Until finally I get this wonderful little message from MV "You can't create anymore maps.", perplexed I try to paste another map, once again "You can't create anymore maps.". Open up the data in the project, to discover I am on Map 999, I still have nearly two hundred to go, & I haven't even really started doing the detail work on the towns (interiors of homes & all of that).


Naturally I reacted with my usual level of zen like calm, that I always do.


    


So I am curious has anyone else encountered this unique bit of joy, & what did you do for a work around?
