This fails for obvious reasons. ZK fails at getting map or game data, gg no re.

Yeah, it would be good to have a fallback. Right now swl only uses ZK infra for:

Map thumbnails, because you can get a direct link from the map name and I'd like to avoid having to do ajax queries to springfiles to get thumbnails.
Map search. IIRC springfiles limits the number of results which is a point against it but otherwise it's fine.

The big minimap image shown in battle screen is obtained from springfiles, zk ones are squished vertically and are lower res.

only as default. append &limit=0 to the search url / as parameter and it returns all results.

this info isn't spread around as this shouldn't be used / only used very wisely as the full list is pretty large.

Is there an offset parameter too to allow querying the list in small portions?

not yet, thats a feature request (but should be easy to implement)
