[quote who="Darvin3" reply="32" id="3007902"]Hmmm... I just tried it out, and the map didn't run properly. Both players got a military defeat the moment the game actually started.

How to Share Maps over ICO in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

As I figured out and tested here , Sins already has a way to share custom maps over MP. Simply slap the map into your (on Win7, for reference) ...AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\MapDesigner folder and host using the map from there. Once you run the map, everyone who doesn't have the map already will dl it, and it will work. I've tested this on the latest version of Entrenchment; I'd assum

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="28" id="3007882"]My hope is that Rebellion will offer a way for us to download maps in-game, thus maps can be shared informally and there will be no need to maintain a compilation. [/quote] I'd love to see this. I've seen it work in other games before, and it really has a huge impact on the MP community. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this already in play for games made in the ingame map maker? If s- Wait I just had an idea. Has anyone e

Reply to Random Map Game in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Yes it's possible. You will have to edit the random maps, and more importantly, edit the GalaxyScenarioDef file in order to make the various homeworld start-conditions per faction. Though I don't understand what you mean by two homeworlds... Do you mean two starting planets, or two TerranHome planets? As there is a difference between the two; however you can indeed make the second planet colonized AND have starting structures/ships, even in a randomly-generated map, I've d

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="26" id="3006388"] Before a new galaxy forge was only released when the formats of the maps themselves changed (making old maps obsolete), and with this new "trigger" system stuff and possible more with Rebellion its quite likely that will be the case again.[/quote] Ah, I see. If that's the case, two packs should probably be made; a Diplo/Ent one, and a Rebellion one.

What the heck am I reading? The GalaxyForge's status of maintenance does not have any bearing on whether a map is playable or good. Why should we wait for the new GalaxyForge when that has absolutely no impact on the maps themselves?

How's about let's revive this project? Or restart it if it's gone; there's tons of people who have good maps out there, and there are also others who say that Sins lacks a good place/way for people to get more maps.

Solution, reduce mines. I know a few mods have done this, Novus Universum being one of them, and it helps stop the "minefield of doom" people otherwise make. Also makes you tactically place mines and the like.

Reply to Modder's "Get-an-Answer" Thread in Sins Modding Sins Forums

One thing I've noticed with the AI... It doesn't "know" when ships are effected by the DisablePhaseJump modifier; it just acts as if it is nonexistent. It's a rather glaring issue, and I was wondering if anyone here has any idea if it's possible to make the AI "see" this condition and act accordingly? Edit: If this is a hardcoded AI issue I got a suggestion for the devs; when ships are effected by this connection, don't let the player (AI or human) issue a phase ju

So in a nutshell, credits are replaced by manpower, metal is now supplies, supplies can only be "mined" via "refineries", and crystal doesn't exist. No wonder you said the resource system cripples the AI, I like this a good deal however. I'll be interested in seeing what you do with fleet supply.

So I noticed, it's one heck of an ability that's for sure. Main bit is the shields down part; in a nutshell I'm hoping to work that into a passive ability that's linked to Ion an weapontype that fires, and after some complex thing that checks if shields are down, applies a buff.
