Having a issue with GalaxyForge

i had the same problem too. use ur old galaxy forge. theres a map converter on the sins website, but last time i checked it wasn't updated for sins 1.16 and entrench 1.02.

Anyone know when the update will be out?? I really want to update this map. It is a great map and speed the game up a bit hehe economy wise. Sins has a slow and dreadful economy. I have a new Idea now after having a LAN party, I think I have a new method that will speed things up a bit more I think

the is a map updater for v2 maps to v3. there is two versions for different sins versions

for sins 1.15/entrenchment 1.01 my sins map updater 1.18

for sins 1.16/entrenchment 1.02 my sins map updater 1.19

hope these help

harpo

o it seems they did update the converter without my knowing. which is also an amazing movie, by the way

..........except the links go to a mod, not the converter......

yes I did update the converter which I wrote because I did not want to lose maps that I had created, & I then offered it to blair & he accepted, but I have been updateing as I find out about problems.

I am in the process of making the updater correctly update version 0,1 & 2 maps to version 3.

at present it correctly converts version 1 & 2 maps but not version 0

re supplying the links

1.18

1.19

thanks

Request please

This is the Link to Big Blue, what are the odds of you converting it to work with Forge3 for me, I have tried the updaters but it is not working. I have read the instruction just not working for me

can you Email me the converted map please at krogothca@yahoo.ca

I really want to get this map working again

Thanks in advance

krogothcad I emailed but it bounced so I uploaded to my filefront the new zip that I ran my v2 map updater over.

wow, thank you very much for you time!!! I will grab and start making my changes, I was thinking about creating a new one with another system inside.

Best regards,

KrogothCAD

krogothcad,

I am going to star on a sins map verifyer program so that such problems cam be found a bit quicker. it micht be duplicate planet names, but untill I get a rough version running I will not know

I also tried to load the original v1 map into galaxyforge 1.05 ok then saved it under a different name,with the same crash, I then created 4 similar maps in 1.01,1.05,1.10 & 3,the maps from 1.01 1.1 & 3 loaded in 3 but the 1.05  crashed,

I found the problem it is a missing space  in the planetArtifactDensity line before the number.I have just fixed the newstruct1.txt file so this will not happen in future

and am about to upload the corrected versions

harpo

I have uploaded a corrected bigblue.rar to my filefront page along with the map updater v2 with updated newstruct1.txt and the corrected newstruct1.txt

harpo

Ok, I got it work, made my changes and it pops up perfect in regular Sins, it won't show yet in Sins of a Solar Empire - Entrenchment. not sure if Galaxyforge3 can do Entrenchment yet?

Thanks for you help, now I am just waiting for Galaxy Forge to catch up hehehe

krogothcad I have loaded your map into entrenchment from the galaxyforge folder next to mods & entrenchment mods 1.02. I actually used entrenchment with debug true to find what the problem was in the map
