Devs: New Feature? Please?

December 18, 2008 12:33:52 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hey Devs,

Is there any possible way to have a save map feature for random maps.  Say you like a map that was randomly generated.  It is good all around and you could see yourself playing there again...would there be a way to create a "Save Map" Feature that would save the current map in your custom map folder?

Anyone's input is welcomed.

Thanks for your consideration,

Phalnax

Well you can do this for the in-game map generator maps, at least. I know you're asking for the one where you select "Random - .... " in the map list.

Yeah, I know that haha.  But yeah it'd be nice to be able to save the map into the custom maps section if you like a map that was randomly generated

I've had some random maps which were things of beauty for their balancing and planet placement.  I wish this could be done as well.

For now I would take a screenshot and recreate it in galaxy forge.  Give it a name and tweak it for perfection.

Yeah, I thought of that as well, but Galaxy Forge never works for me

I thought of this recently too. There have been some amazing maps that i'd like to play again, but have long since lost the replays due to the betas
