Your name: WarnyKosovo
Suggestion: I am suggesting to script a potential method which would convert all your objects that you have mapped in game using the current mapping system into the in game chat (but only for yourself) so you can copy these codes in your chatlog.txt located in your My Documents > GTA San Andreas Userfiles, or if you can come up with a method to automatically copy the codes into your clipboard that would be even better... I don't know if this is possible but atleast give this a thought.
Why should we add this?: Because I do believe that the majority of the people that use your system to create maps and stuff would love to have them saved as their personal maps for like "external use", let that be another server, or they wanna give it to a friend to be used in another server, etc. This would be a good addition to the game and people would like it. What if the server closes and everything is just gone, like wiped out? It might still be a good idea to have your work saved.

Hello,
We already have a system to import and export maps, but this ability is available only for premium members. Also if server closes, we have backup files of all maps.

As MrName already said, Premium members have the ability to get their maps exported. And the server isn't closing any time soon.

The problem of your suggestion (pasting it in chatlog) is that every chatlog line is timestamped making for the dirtiest possible way to do it. Also, due to way how objects are stored, exporting them does cause noticeable lag, (with hundreds of objects and materials being loaded) which we can't let people to do.
