Galaxy Forge problems

I have no idea how you people do it

from Sins Forums

I built a largish 200 radius 60+ planetary galaxy yesterday. Spent hours building it.

Problem 1:

It won't show up in the game.

I put it in the Distant Stars Mod galaxy folder. Nothing.

Try the app/data/ironclad/etc galaxy folder. Crash (turns out they don't go there anyways)

 

Problem 2: 

Apparently it finally decided to recognize, and crash the game.

 

Problem 3:

Galaxy forge will no longer open the map.

 

Error: Failed to load galaxy definition file: GalaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef

Error 2:

Problem 4: Minidumps with the crashes.

 

 

How do you guys DO this? And to think I thought about modding?

If anyone can tell me what the hell is wrong with this map, I'd greatly appreciate it. It's not done yet. I was intent on adding capital ships to every gravity well for the neutrals and upping the planets of the opposing factions. Can't exactly do that anymore. 

I can't believe Galaxy Forge is what Ironclad used to make all of their maps. Crazy.

They didn't. All the early ones at least were done by hand, or perhaps a more basic program. Sometimes it doesn't save it correctly. First try deleting any extra autosave copies in your Galaxy folder. If that doesn't work, the file has been corrupted, so load your latest autosave in the Galaxy Forge folder and try again. See the galaxy forge issues thread for more info.

The autosaves are all corrupted.

Reply #4 from Sins Forums Top

I have made another map. It is not crashing, but it is not showing in the game either.

 

 

File is in D:\Games\Impulse\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

No Autosaves

Does not show in game.

 

I am running a mod, Distant Stars... so putting file in D:\Games\Impulse\Distant Stars\Distant Stars (D) 1.00\Galaxy

No Autosaves

Does not show in game.

 

Putting the file in D:\Program Files (x86)\Impulse\Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Diplomacy\Galaxy

Does not show

 

And now the file is corrupted.--Will not open again in Galaxy Forge.

 

Seriously. WTF.

 

I do not understand how everybody ELSE seems to make this work, and I can't. I have not managed to get a SINGLE map made in galaxy forge to work without the assistance of someone else. EVER.

 

Everything seems very straight forward. If running a mod, you copy the galaxyscenariodefinition(orwhatever).galaxywhatever over to the galaxy forge folder along with the entity files to the proper folder so that galaxy forge can use new planets and sectors and templates that have been made by the modding community. 

 

At that point, it should be as simple as CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK DONE.

I would just not make maps for Rebellion right now.

I'm not making maps for rebellion >.<

I'm making maps for Diplomacy!

Then you need to be using Galaxy Forge 3, not the Galaxy Forge in the Rebellion folder (the one that doesn't autosave).

Use the original Sins galaxy forge--those maps will work.  The only thing you will have to change is Phase, Tech and Psi values to PhaseLoyalist, PhaseRebel, PsiLoyalist, PsiRebel, TechLoyalist and TechRebel if you are using templates.

GoaFan is right that it's a mess right now to try to make "Rebellion Validated" code for maps.  It just ain't tweaked good yet.

If you use the new Galaxy Forge for Diplomacy maps they will not work--different values at the top and laid out a little differently.

Use the old Galaxy Forge from the Sins home page in downloads.

*facepalm*

 

I guess having a quick save and auto save is too much of a luxury.. :\

 

 

 I was just able to build a quick test map and it showed up in game.
