Maps

April 18, 2008 9:26:54 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
     Hi, everyone, I'm new here and I'd just like to ask one thing : How do you install user-made maps once you've downloaded them from the internet? I can't find any answers in the FAQ and evrything I've tried doesn't work. I know it's probably very simple but help would be appreciated nonetheless.

You have to place them in your Galaxy directory, where the game is installed - it's under program files somewhere usually.

I tried that and the map still doesn't show up in-game. What gives?

If the maps were made for an older version of the game, you will need to open the file in notepad and update the version number at the top from 0 to 1.

i downloaded the map Realspace. I have windoze Vista. I unzipped it. Icopied it to the galaxy folder in c:\progam files(x86)\stardock games\sins of a solar empire\galaxy. Once that was done i opened the file realspace.galaxy with notepad and changed the version number from 0 to 1. i then launched Sins. The map was nowhere to be found not even in custom maps location. I closed Sins and thought wtf and looked in explorer and i found another directory for sins stuff. So i cut it from that directory and pasted it into c:\users\Chris\AppData\Local\Ironclad games\Sins of a soalr empire\galaxy.

i loaded up sins and theres the map:)

Hope this helps anyone having this problem with maps.
