Can't open the official maps

from Sins Forums

I cant open the official maps in 1.03

In 1.02 i was able to open all the official maps but after i updated the game to 1.03,

everything is blank and the galaxy forge crashes whenever i try to add a planet after

opening the official maps. ( its already blank )

So is there a way to open those official maps ?

yes there is. you open them in a text editor and change the version number to 1 instead of 0.

Example

TXT
versionNumber 1

instead of

TXT
versionNumber 0

It is the 2nd line down :3

Note: you got to do this to every map.

hmmm official maps are already in version number 1

When i open the custom maps that i made ( those are version 0 )

I can see the planets and all the content.

but the official maps shows nothing but blank.

don't know then, honestly the patch was not really ready to be released IMO, still a few tweaks needed here and there, anyhow, you try switching it to 0 and then back to 1 or something similar. worse comes to worse, take some of the custom map data and try applying it to the default maps

Ex, change default map data with:

TXT
versionNumber 1
isBrowsable TRUE
browsePictureName "ScenarioPicture-UserGenerated"
browseName "IDS_CUSTOMGALAXY_NAME_USERGENERATED"
browseDescription "IDS_CUSTOMGALAXY_DESCRIPTION_USERGENERATED"
isFirstCapitalShipIsFlagship TRUE
planetArtifactDensity 0.150000
planetBonusDensity .400000
homePlanetUpgradeLevel:Population 3
homePlanetUpgradeLevel:CivilianModules 4
homePlanetUpgradeLevel:TacticalModules 0
homePlanetUpgradeLevel:Home 1
homePlanetUpgradeLevel:ArtifactLevel 10
homePlanetUpgradeLevel:Infrastructure 2

Mind you i haven't tried this so its pure theoretical, but something is better than nothing.

ok thank you for the reply.

all official maps ( default maps ) are in version 1 and when i change them
to 0, then i get an error. ( galaxy forge ctd )

Ive tried several other ways... but it seems like there is no way to open the
default map ( official maps ).

did anyone suceeded in opening the default map?

*chuckle* i deleted em all, i prefer custom made maps anyhow (ones i make myself and then modified in notepad). if my last post does not work, then best to just wait for a dev, i would have tried posting this in technical or general forums also since its the default maps that are not working, not custom made maps.

Edit: Actually, that was before i reinstalled the game, you could try the tec forum fist if you want or you could also try reinstalling with NO mods (mods made for 1.2 WILL crash the game). so you can try a fresh reinstall and update again and see if you get any progress.
