Galaxy Forge

where do you get galaxy forge from?

From this website. Under downloads.

Also, I can't download any of the maps here either. =(

galaxy forge maps will work in sins in the program files galaxy folder, BUT in entrenchment 1.000 & 1.01 you HAVE TO EDIT the entrenchement galaxy.manifest to include the maps in the galaxy folder,

BUT

for entrenchment 1.02 and later and also sins 1.16+ the BEST location to placve the maps is in the GALAXYFORGE folder next to your mods folders

the galaxy forge maps NEED to be placed here for xp
C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge

or here for vista/windows 7
C:\Users\'user name'\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge.

NOTE the first two folders after the 'user name' are hidden , so to see them you must first click on 'tools' then 'folder options', then 'view', then click on 'show hidden files& folders' then click ok, then you will be able to browse your want to the folder. I suggest when you find the folder that you create a shortcut to it on the desktop

also the galaxy forge maps only show up in the galaxy forge tab of map types

hope this helps

So it shows up now, but I get that automatic defeat screen. I checked the Guide, and it says that saving it there makes that happen, and to save it in: c:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy, but it doesn't even show up there.

So with one I can see it, but not play it, and the other I can't see it. =(

Figured it out. I forgot to set ownership to planets. Lol.

the guide has not been updated since entrenchment 1.02 which is when the galaxyforge folder came in. the guide was correct for all sins up to 1.16/entrenchement 1.02
