let me put another update, I've been messing around with stuff and I found my original version of galaxy forge (v 1.0) and I got it to work but the maps still will not upload to the ingame map lists. I'm assuming its got something to do with not be the most updated version of gf. So that leaves me with the same problem that I can't get the new gf to download right. It won't open, it goes to adobe acrobat.

btw I have entrentchment so I'd like a solution that will allow me to make maps for entrenchment as well.
Okay so when I first got the game I discovered the galaxy forge on the website and I had enough trouble getting it working and figuring it out the first time and when I finally got my pride and joy maps uploaded to work in game, I downloaded the new update and they were all rendered useless. So I thought I'd upload them again but long story short I can no longer add any maps from the site or from galaxy forge and to make things better, I cant even use galaxy forge anymore. Wheneve
[quote who="Mooster" reply="7" id="2179133"] Quoting davidt0504, reply 5 i have vista so I looked under users and then my user name and there was no appdata folder did you make your computer show hidden folder? however, the best way is to use your "Run" command, just type in the path and it will popup and then go up level up, and then right click sins of a solar empire, and then send to desktop as a shortcut
didn't work
i have vista so I looked under users and then my user name and there was no appdata folder
I think, it would be a great idea
I don't have an AppData folder in my users file
I am downloading the maps from the sins main website but when I pull the files and drag and drop them into the galaxy folder in program files nothing happens. Any helP?
I recently installed an update for sins and since then I was unable to access any previously saved games, I can no longer add maps via download or galaxy forge infact I can't even get galaxy forge to work anymore and I can't download it again. I also installed impulse maybe this has something to do with it.
yeah it does thanks i didnt think i could do what i wanted but thought i might as well ask
Im not really sure if this qualifies for multiplayer but i want to be able to control to factions at one time in the game is that possible? like I control two factions against an AI
nvm i figured it out i think i made it too big too much stuff in it, but one thing, is there anyway to make sure that a certain player starts with certain planets all the time, like i always start with a certain set of planets
well thats not really it, it appears in the lists under medium but when i load the map to play, all i can see is a blank star field backdrop, no systems no planets nothing. i can see them under the empire tree and i can even upgrade them but i have no idea where anythings
i made a map and loaded it up, it appears ingame but when i try to play a game on it it just loads up an empty star field, i think its registering that things are there but i cant see them, im wondering if this might have anything to do with the fact that i made a massive map. If anyone knows anything?
change that i found one, but when i loaded it game, nothing appears, it shows up my planets on the empire tree but i cant see anything but empty space
i found the galaxy folder, and once i put them in there, where do i find them ingame
I put the file in the galaxy folder, where do i find it in game?
I know i have to find the galaxy folder, but i dont have a galaxy folder, unless its hidden in something obscure and it is designed not to show up in searches i dont think its there, i need some assistance, anything would be great.
Where is that folder, all i can find is the galaxy forge, and the game icon, i know here should be a folder for the game, but it doesnt seem to show up anywhere
thanks a million, i spent three hours on a map and i didnt want to mess it up
Title says it all, can someone walk me through it?
