I have got ALL expansions, playing diplomacy. 1.19 Vanilla, 1.5 Entre and 1.0 Diplo
Tried putting the Galaxy singly into my install folder, mod folder and putting it everywhere all at once too. All didn't work.
Version number = 3 for it and all other maps. Playing the map from the custom scenario bar crashes it.
I made the map using Map Designer and edited it using Galaxy Forge 3.
The name of it shouldnt be a problem , its just "System Supremacies"
Funny thing is that AFTER editing in Galaxy Forge, im unable to test preview it when i launch the game and enter Map Designer. Its like they are exclusive versions and Galaxy Forge messed it up
Btw , i didnt post in the stickied Galaxy Forge guide above because the last post was 1st Feb 2010.
1. Make your map. - You already did that.
2. Place .galaxy file in your \Diplomacy\Galaxy
3. Open your galaxy.manifest in your Diplomacy folder with any text editor, it should look like this:TXTfileCount 54fileName "Agamemnon's Bounty"fileName "Ancient Gifts"fileName "Areolian Sector"
and so on, ignore the fileCount number.
You need to add the line fileName "System Supremacies"to the end of the file, make sure it is the last line. After that you need to add one number to you fileCount, in my case I need to make it 55 to add one more map.
If there is anything else, please just ask.
raven is almost correct, that is the sins 1.15/entrenchment 1.01 method, the current is
assuming you have sins 1.19/entrenchment 1.05/dilomacy 1.0, the galaxy forge maps NEED to be placed here for xpC:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForgeor here for vista/windows 7C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge.for sins 1.15/entrenchment 1.01 and earlier, the correct location IS the program files \galaxy folder, and you also NEED to edit the entrenchment's galaxy.manifest to include the maps and also the total count of mapsNOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktopNOTE 2 the 'user name' in the above paths is your WINDOWS login user name, eg Administratoralso the galaxy forge maps in the local apps galaxyforge folder only show up in the galaxy forge tab of map types in sins 1.16+/entrenchment 1.02+if the map IS a galaxy forge and giving the instant win/loss screen then MAKE sure that EACH player has a home planet and is not for a particular mod that has extra home planets and starsand if a map you want to play was released before 25th feb 2009 then you will also need the sins map updater from herehttp://files.filefront.com/sins+map+updater+v201rar/;13585432;/fileinfo.htmlharpo
