You need to put them in the game directory (C:\programfiles\stardockgames\sinsofasolarempire\galaxy) if you are playing entrenchment make a secound copy in the entrenchement\galaxy of sinofasolarempire then modify galaxy.manifest with the name of map and add one to count.

Hope this helps

there is one thing u can do and it is to rename the map off a map in sins (Ex. Face Off) this worked for me and it might work for u

if you are using galaxy forge 3 with sins 1.15/entrenchment then you MUST use the program files/stardock games/sins of a solar empire/galaxy folder

for earlier galaxy forge ie 1.1 which uses map format version 2 the maps do not show up because 1.15 does not know how to read v2 maps any more, BUT I did write a map updateing utility that updates all version 2 maps to version 3 so you can play all older maps. it can be downloaded here sins_map_updater_v1.1.8.rar it looks for sins version 1.15 and will work on non-english windows as well as english language windows ie xp,xp64,vista 32, vista 64,windows 7 32 AND windows 7 64 bits

hope it helps

oo and i tried to uses the sins_map_updater_v1.1.8.rar thing but it doesnt know what to open it with can u help

ya i dont have entrenchment i only have the normal game sso will it still work

thxs so much i got it to show up on the page and i am able to play it now thx harpo99999 so much for all the help

never mind i figured it out

yes in galforge you set the teamnumber in the player settings to the same for each team member and the default is -1 for no team team 1 ,team 2 etc ant then set the players home planets near each other

hope this helps

the only suggestion is to email the map to them or upload to a file hosting place and have them download it and save it in the galaxyforge folder next to their mods folder

there might be other ways that I do not know of, but these suggestions should work.

mrthebeast, some questions that should point out the solution how many players, how many home planets, how many teams ignoring any on team -1, where did you save the map, which sins/entrenchment version, which galaxy forge version?
