Creating maps

Wall of text

from Sins Forums

Whenever i create a map with the Galaxy Forge you get from the media link it doesn't show up in the map selection no matter where i put and if i try opening map i created inside Sins: Rebellion its just blank. I'm using Steam and if i go here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Galaxy Forge, it has its own galaxy Forge and if i use it, the map i created appears in-game but when i play it it becomes an automatic defeat since there are no stars or planets in the map. I tried creating a map in sins: Rebellion with the map designer and if i even try to modify it with the galaxyforge that came with the game the map becomes blank.

Did you give all players a planet and homeworld?

the galaxyforge from the download area is the WRONG galaxyforge for rebellion.

rebellion used to be able to use galaxyforge 3 maps, BUT that was stopped in rebellion 1.02. there are three choices

1 use the galaxy forge in the steamapps/rebellion/galaxyforge folder and re-make the map

2 copy the map into the my documents/games/rebellion/galaxyforge folder, and use my rebellion map updater to convert the map from mapversion3 to mapversion 4(for rebellion)

3 put the map into the my documents/..../galaxyforge folder, and use another mapp converting tool called the map verifier

both 2 & 3 utilities can be found in threads in the modding area

hope these choices help

regarding the auto defeat, you NEED at least two players in the map AND a homeworld for each player

I have 8 homeworld in my map as its a 4v4 map and each is set to "True" for homeworld on each on and is designated to "Newplayer 0" to "Newplayer 07" since thats how it registers players in the map. But i guess one of the reasons for the auto-defeat is because it can't read the contents of the map so it loads it as a blank and since nothing is there no planets or anything it becomes an Auto-defeat.

 

I'll try the rebellion map updater tomorrow to see if it works since I currently been fighting 4 lvl 10 titans with a modded titan my friend made for me which is basically the "Infinity" from HALO 4. And i have to say its bad ass since its max level is level 0 and its stats are basically god.

Well, if it still doesn't work I'll ask for some help because apparently me and modding is like me playing with fire in a dry field of grass. It just doesn't end well for me
