OK there has been a lot of Confusion on the amount of addon Maps we can use.

Well I think have solved the problem   :pimp2:

I think its to do with a combined space problem in Insane between the Maps and Vehicles  :idea:

After installing the Caddie my map limit dropped again
the total maps I could use ingame was 83  :scrunch:

So I removed all addon Vehicles and 4 original vehicles
This allowed me to use all the addon maps I have my total was 111 maps ingame  :thu :smoke:

TIP: I found the limit to be around 50 to 60 of each depending on the file size

1 add-on vehicle = 2 or 3 maps depending on the file size

So it looks like a choice between addon maps or addon vehicles.

I am going to email this post to codies to see if they can come up with a patch for us  :hat:

If you are trying to use downloaded map's or Vehicle's in single player mode you will need to do the following

Remember You Must hit ENTER / RETURN after you typed the code

Map's

UK Version in the main menu type in lowercase ( ineedmoremaps ) then press return.

US Version in the main menu type in lowercase ( worldtraveller ) then press return.

Vehicle's

UK Version in the main menu type in lowercase ( ineedmorecars ) then press return.

US Version in the main menu type in lowercase ( fillmygarage ) then press return.

You must also remember that if you have not completed the Championship mode
that some Map's & Vehicle's will also be locked so you will need to type the codes above to unlock them.

when you are selecting a map and you find that you have a white area where the map should be then this means you are over the limit,
So your next step will to remove ether some of the vehicle idf's that you don't use or some of the older map idf's that you don't use.

For a full list of idf file names check out the ldf page on my site.

REMEMBER

to alway's keep the Standard Vehicle's and Map's or this will course problem's when you play online.

I just recieved a reply from Codies  :scrunch:

Thank you for submitting your recent request to Codemasters Customer
Services concerning Insane. Your query was dealt with by Andi.

We do not support unofficial addon maps for Insane so we cannot really
help
you with this problem.

Please quote your ref. number in all further correspondence. IF YOU NEED
TO
REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE ENTIRE TEXT IS INCLUDED IN
YOUR
REPLY.

Codemasters Customer Services


and that was that  :smoke:

[EvilMacDaddy]

hmm.. spose they've got a point there. Why should they make a patch for something they don't support   ah well

[MoverPrime]

Hehe. Its not just unofficial maps they aren't supporting. No mention of an XP patch either. But lets be thankful they are continuing to provide a cmn service at all :butt:

[Quickie]

Yes I do agree Mover without CMN we will be lost  :thumb:

But it's a big but Why did they bring out the patch for 128 skins for each Vehicle  
The skins are not :nope: Official skins   :hat:

[Difflock]

Could that 128 skin thing be just an add-on from Invictus? After all didn't the patch rectify some CMN and gfx issues?

Diff.

[Quickie]

Well if was why dont codies get on to them  

Ant way I think you all relise that we are gonna need this patch so when you get a minuete go to the link below and jot something down so they know that there are still people in the Insane community  :hat:

We won't be doing any more patches, unfortunately. You'll have to make do with JUST 111 maps at a time. "

You just gotta love em

...I think its to do with a combined space problem in Insane between the Maps and Vehicles...

hmmm...I wonder if there is any connection between the add on skins also...has anyone tried to delete some skins to see if you can have more maps by doing that?

[kavika]

i have zero skins: no effect

[FraGGenstein]

ok...thanks for replying...(/me crawls back to think out something else)

[Quickie]

The extra skins have no affect on the limit like the maps and cars becuase there was a Patch released to enable the 128 skin limit,
but the chances of getting one for the maps ans vehicles looks very dim :scrunch:

they have said no again :spanka:

[DUZLA+]

Here's an idea why duz'nt the 1nsane comunity get together & make a "petition", for a new patch to fix the map limit an xp prob an drop it to the nice ppl at codie

[TheMeandMe]

Would be an idea. But with the non-ability of proving your identity to petition legal extends, they could say even if there are like 1000 nicknames in that petition that it was one person who collected these. And still when they dont do it, they dont...
Emailing Invictus with the same request would be an idea. Quickie? You seem to be rather good at talking...

[Quickie]

well we did try

there was this post and another on codies forum which has now been locked and a poll in the polls section.
I also emailed codies 3 times and they still say NO.

so thats that they dont like us lol
