Covid_A_Swab im a little confused what kind of problems you guys are trying to solve and have.
The problems were detailed here:

We couldn't be sure that liandri-winter wouldn't also be affected at some point.
In short, there are multiple snow.u files out in the wild. One of the snow.u files uses recursion (a programming construct) which can crash some players if the function calls itself more than 250 times. There are also other files named snow.uax and snow.utx which the server sometimes tries to use as snow.u. It seems that the server tries to load whichever snow file dependency it finds first no matter what its extension so, it fails to load the map when it tries to use say the snow.utx file instead of snow.u.
Even if the only problem was 2 different snow.u files in the wild, an administrator would have to choose which map to have on the server if they wanted to run different maps that depend on the 2 different snow.u files.
X-Cell has graciously solved all of these problems by updating the maps to use the SnowUT99 package which has a better design than the old snow packages anyway. https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?t=12440
The important lesson here for anyone making stuff for ut is to create unique names for all new packages/assets and I suppose to mylevel as much as possible unless there is a really good reason to save file space by sharing dependencies among multiple maps.
