sloul the simplest way of adding old maps into a current sins ie from sins 1.15/entrenchment 1.01 is to use my map updater v2.01 thread, filefront, gaming vault, or mediafire.

the map updater looks for a particular sins version  that is stored in the targetsinsver.txt file and targetsinsver.txt should either be deleted OR edited to match the sins version you have.

the map structure CHANGED significantly from map version 2 to map version 3, for earlier map versions it WAS possible to just edit the map version number and the map would work, BUT for version 3 EACH PLANET needed to be changed by adding the new quickstart and normalstart lines, and it was these changes that made me decide to write a utility to do the updating of the maps, as it would have taken about 1 hour per map to alter each planet in the map, where as the program updates all the maps within 2 minutes
