Having a issue with GalaxyForge

I created a Map call Big Blue a long time ago, then upgrade it to V2, everything worked great. I just Download GF 3 and when I open my map it is blank, nothing is inside of it??

I tested the same map using GF 1 and 1.1 everything works good. Any idea's do I need some sort of convertor before GF 3 will work??

Anyone know when the update will be out?? I really want to update this map. It is a great map and speed the game up a bit hehe economy wise. Sins has a slow and dreadful economy. I have a new Idea now after having a LAN party, I think I have a new method that will speed things up a bit more I think

o it seems they did update the converter without my knowing. which is also an amazing movie, by the way

..........except the links go to a mod, not the converter......

I am in the process of making the updater correctly update version 0,1 & 2 maps to version 3.

at present it correctly converts version 1 & 2 maps but not version 0

re supplying the links

1.18

1.19

yes I did update the converter which I wrote because I did not want to lose maps that I had created, & I then offered it to blair & he accepted, but I have been updateing as I find out about problems.

Request please

This is the Link to Big Blue, what are the odds of you converting it to work with Forge3 for me, I have tried the updaters but it is not working. I have read the instruction just not working for me

can you Email me the converted map please at krogothca@yahoo.ca

I really want to get this map working again

Thanks in advance

krogothcad I emailed but it bounced so I uploaded to my filefront the new zip that I ran my v2 map updater over.

krogothcad,

I am going to star on a sins map verifyer program so that such problems cam be found a bit quicker. it micht be duplicate planet names, but untill I get a rough version running I will not know

I also tried to load the original v1 map into galaxyforge 1.05 ok then saved it under a different name,with the same crash, I then created 4 similar maps in 1.01,1.05,1.10 & 3,the maps from 1.01 1.1 & 3 loaded in 3 but the 1.05 crashed,

I found the problem it is a missing space in the planetArtifactDensity line before the number.I have just fixed the newstruct1.txt file so this will not happen in future

and am about to upload the corrected versions

I have uploaded a corrected bigblue.rar to my filefront page along with the map updater v2 with updated newstruct1.txt and the corrected newstruct1.txt

Ok, I got it work, made my changes and it pops up perfect in regular Sins, it won't show yet in Sins of a Solar Empire - Entrenchment. not sure if Galaxyforge3 can do Entrenchment yet?

Thanks for you help, now I am just waiting for Galaxy Forge to catch up hehehe

krogothcad I have loaded your map into entrenchment from the galaxyforge folder next to mods & entrenchment mods 1.02. I actually used entrenchment with debug true to find what the problem was in the map
