very nice.  I wonder if star/clad will remove all the annoying double " marks and tabs at the end of lines (cause I sent them a cleaned vanilla GSDef... lolz)

If you have the same problem that Coltskinner did, then hopefully the solution might be the same.

When SOASE got updated, the version number for all the maps changed from 0 to 1. The ingame map creator changes this number automatically but, you have to change the number manally on your old maps to make them work. This can be done by opening them up in notepad and changing the second line from reading "versionNumber 0" to "versionNumber 1". If you download the latest version of Galaxy Forge it should do this automatically too.

If this still does'nt work just let me know.

humm, me neither. How about you send me the map you made to my email at neoanimage@hotmail.com so that i can take a look at it and maybe solve it. 

All right, I opened up your map in Galaxy Forge and made a copy of that map from scratch, loaded it up and it worked. I then opened up your map in SOASE and it gave me the defeat screen. I saw that it had nine players though. So I went back to Galaxy Forge and noticed a difference from your map and my map.

Your map:

My map:

I opened up your map and clicked on the 'Edit' button then on 'Players' and erased the excess players you had and then loaded the map on SOASE again and it worked. I dont know why you had ten players but that is the reason it gives you a defeat screen; because you have more players than starting planets for them.

I've followed your advice, and changed the quantity of platers to quantity of home planets, assigned the home planets for each player, changed the recommended game type to TwoTeamsOfTwo, but the result have been the same.

I sent the map to your e-mail.

Animage, could you possably throw together a modified GalaxyScenarioDef file and some Icons for UrbanExpansion too? i love creating my own map layouts for optimum challenge/fun and the only mod that has more planets and is compatable with patch 1.12 seems to be UrbanExpansion.

I understand if you dont want too though ^^

Once the "Urban Expansion Mod" is completed ill make new icons and throw in the GalaxyScenarioDef file.

assuming you have either vista OR windows7

run galforge in administrator .

first right click on your galforge shortcut then leftclick on properties, nowe click on compatibility, place a tick in run as administrator,click ok

now run galforge

hope this helps

it should be in the small/medium/large maps depending on the number of players/number of stars/ number of planets.

the wieghting is players heavy, stars medium, planets light, the greater the wieght the larger the map is considered to be ie 4 player is useually medium 3 & 2 player is small, 6+ player seems to be large

the estimates are from my observations
