Yes.  So if you must do this, include the temporary maps.
Here is my ~/bin/cfb script which takes a backup of everything
that I think needs to be included.

#!/bin/csh
tar czvf ~/cf`date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"`.tar.gz \
/usr/local/games/crossfire/lib/players \
/usr/local/games/crossfire/lib/unique-items \
/usr/local/games/crossfire/lib/temp.maps \
/usr/local/games/crossfire/lib/bookarch \
/tmp/cf*
