step 1 download & install either winrar or 7zip I suggest googleing them

step 2 download & extract my sins map updater v2 all files into a folder on the computer

step 3 create a shortcut to the sins map updater.exe on the desktop

step 4 make sure that all maps are in the galxyforge folder beside the mods folder  ie xp C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge or for vista/w7 C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxyforge (note the two folders after the user name are hidden so you will have to UNHIDE the hidden folders in folder settings

step 5 run my sins map updater

step 6 click on 'find galaxies'

step 7 click on 'fix galaxies'

step 8 click on 'exit'

step 9 run sins start a new game then click on the change maps button untill you get to the galaxy forge group, then choose the map you want to play & enjoy

hope this helps

when i do this i get an error something about a mini dump

The link is broken...could you fix it, please?

filefront appears to be back up

harpo

version 2.00 and v2.01 both can work without the 'targetsinsver.txt' which contains the text for the sins version to be tested for(so delete 'targetsinsver.txt' from the folder that the map updater v2.00 or v2.01 is installed to),

also you can edit the 'targetsinsver.txt' to contain '1.1.7.0'

bothe of the above methods WILL fix the problem.
