Allow text in "Map Seed" field for the map generator

Post by ChucklesTheBeard »

Exactly what it says on the tin - I want to see what my username generates. :)

Presumably easy to add by hashing the field's contents.

And what should then come out, when I put in a regular seed, if that is hashed? Btw. the seed can already be seen as a hash. :)

You can easily detect whether there's a number (old seed) or full text (new seed) and handle both accordingly.
