Need a new Galaxy Forge!

     Does anyone know when a new one will be coming out? One that is compatible with this new "Fast Start" thing. That seems to be the main problem. I made a map using 1.1 then i went through and edited the .galaxy file in notepad and updated it line by line so that the fast start is included. (i used other maps as a reference.) i thought I had gotten around the problem but I keep getting minidumps   Anyone know the eta on the new forge. I imagine it's going to be after the official release of entrenchment but how long after??????

Yes, I was pretty carefull. The minidump alwasy seems to happen 20 mins in when a Vasari gives me a dimplomacy mission. Strange. But your program sounds interesting be sure to let everyone know when it's finished

sounds like one of the other bugs in b3 & not related to maps at all

suggest you email the minidumps to support at ironcladgames.com

That sounds like a great idea and I would appreciate being able to use it.

mooster I am writing the map updater to save many hours of map updateing by hand and it is about 40% complete ie all of the support functions are in place now I just have the vital part that analizes the map file and inserts the changes. AND I ALSO want a new galaxy forge hopefully with an automated way of adding indepenent militias

So when we're updating our maps by hand, is it only the fast start lines that i need to add for ALL planets wormhols ect? Or are there other things to watch out for?

entrenchment and sins both use the same map format, and it was changes to help entrenchment that required the changes in the map format especially the quickstart option

there probably was changes and they flowed into 1.15, as entrenchment is effectivly a LARGE MOD for sins

So how close is your converter Harpo? Sounds like they're going to be pretty quick with the new forge...

the converter is about 40% complete, but the only code to write is the critical code for converting the maps. all the support code has been written & tested in xp32 &64 vista 32 & 64 AND windows7 32 & 64. I hope to finish by thursday next week unless rl gets in the road againas it is today.
