Hello everyone, it has been a good while since i've modded anything in sins...decided to make my own map for the latest version of Diplomacy, also have GalaxyForge3, but when i made my map, had about 50 planets in all (wanted to make a Star Wars Universe map that wasn't 300 planets+, also used vanilla planets, no addon planets) and loaded it, I would get a minidump for what I would think to be no reason at all...I can load some other maps fine, but there are a few (including the one i made) that just wont start...I also cannot start the Star Wars Universe map.

I have tried different methods of fixing the issue from changing graphics settings to using a map updater program but nothing works..has anyone else encountered an issue like this?

Also, it would seem that I can no longer use notepad to open the entity files and edit them as needed and some of the links on the site I believe are outdated (unless I just wasn't looking in the right spot), does anyone know what is needed to edit the entity files now?
