Disable Map Patch

[DariusGM]

Dear Community. As I found a spell_disable Patch, my friend and I wrote a Patch that closes Maps. This could be need to close an Instance because of fixes or other reasons.

Patchfile can be found here: http://paste2.org/p/1219527

Add Table: map_disabled

`map` = id of the Map / Instance

`active` = enable check of this map (set to '1' to enable)

`comment` = User Comment / Mapname

Missing: GM Characters are excluded too.

I think good idea for custom patch.

easiest way I found is to create a custom quest, that has no questgiver and use that in areatrigger_teleport as a condition to enter bugged instances... easier than applying a patch imho (if this will not be included in core)

another extremely simple way:

UPDATE areatrigger_teleport SET required_level=81WHERE target_map = 601; -- Azjol-nerub -- was 67

Your extremely simple way is not the best way because players can teleport into the instance using WoWEm.... (Cheating tools).

My effective way is delete the instance_template record and move all players in it to another map because if someone tries to login when is in a map without instance_template MaNGOS will crash.

you can also just clear the map of all GO's and Creatures and then there will be nothing to exploit and MaNGOS won't crash... but you will have to backup the data
