Server Fixes

Reset Room Activity

Occasionally, a server may encounter an issue where all rooms are set to active for processing, even those without player objects.

storage.db.rooms.update({ active: true }, { $set: { active: false } })

Reset Map Images

Regenerate room images for the world map.

storage.db.rooms.find().then(rooms => rooms.map(r => map.updateRoomImageAssets(r._id)))
