rebellion beta 1.5 random colonisable randomly not spawning planets

from Sins Forums

have started two games in the beta for rebellion 1.5 , both were on my custom maps for mod/game testing that had been updated from entrenchment to dip & rebellion, and both maps have worked in previous rebellion releases, BUT in 1.5beta they BOTH get a randomcolonisable failed to spawn. I suspect that the gsd (galaxyscenariodef) might have an error with the randomcolonisabe specifying a planet type that is NOT currently in rebellion.

upon editing the GSD with notepad++, I found that the GSD DOES reference the 'barren', 'oceanic', 'ferrus', 'greenhouse', 'barrenfair','oceanicfair', 'ferrusfair' and 'greenhousefair' planet types , I am now testing this observation by running the dev for 1.5 beta on trhe same maps

ok that did not help, so I opened a mapdesigner map in the map designer and previewed the map, and found several unconnected planets round the two stars ( by unconnected I mean NO phase lanes OR no path to the star. (map link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8023186/pics/hardpoo%20test%201.galaxy)

it looks like something BROKE in the map generating system with the addition of the extra planets.

I am now testing with the 1.041 rebellion to confirm the issue

The game is likely trying to use DLC planets which are not actually in the beta, and thus does not generate any planet. Odds are the DLC has to have it's own separate GSD from vanilla Sins which has the new planets included; this would likely solve the issue.

Galaxyforge has options for the new planets; trying to use them doesn't create the proper planet. Lavo is probably right.

but the dlc planet ENTITIES are in the gameinfo and GSD.

I have a theory on how to fix this... I'll get 1.5 and try it out.
