Map Conversion 1.0 to 1.1

Hmmm.... since the new files in 1.1 are in a somewhat changed form, (certainly not all values in the file, but some of them) using old file values will of course crash when attempting to load. I found that out in 5 minutes after upgrading and then looked at the forum, where i believe Annatar explained the somewhat changed file values. As to changing those values? It may mean using the new developer.exe to get those old files where the values have changed to reflect those new values. Two or three lines i am guessing at this point, because not all the values changed. And then resaving them.

I'm not sure if the map editor in 1.1 is the same as the one in 1.05, but if it is new for 1.1 then that may fix your maps. As to save games? I am not sure there is a save game editor at all, though i could be sorely mistaken. Some one else much more experienced in the community may have an answer to that for you. I realize this may have been little help and i am sorry for that, but did want to try to help. At this point i think we are all facing the same situation. For me, i deleted all the save games and old mods, and am starting from scratch. It may not be the choice that you would do, but for me, it is cleaner.

Anyway, take care and hope someone with more experience gets you the help you would like,

Sincerely,

liek teal im no expert on this  (o.k. i'll admit im a total nub here)   but on all other games,  saved games cannot be played on new patches,   very curious to see if someone has an actual solution for this tough

ok lets forget about the saved games and focus on the MAP's That were created using Galaxy Forge 1.0. I cant see the map in version 1.1. So is thier a conversion tool?

While some changes were made in the map format in the early patches, at least if it worked in 1.05 you should only need to update the Version at the top of the file (open it in notepad) to 2, AFAIK.

you mean open up a map in note pad and update the version number?

Yep.

Ok that might get it for the Forge Tool but what about the game?

Still doesn't show up ingame? Plan B.. does the map have a browseName set?

im not sure, but i think he now means how to convert his saved games into 1.1, if its possible. I have no clue about save games, sorry

Nop, I dont care about saved games I just care about the time I put in to the MAP building proccess. I just want to go from 1.0 to 1.1 in Galaxy Forge and the Game.

Can you put up a link to a map you're having trouble with? I don't use any custom maps (random everything :P) and I'll try to figure out the magic trick tonight.

Well you can get those from of the website customer maps but if you want mine you give me your e-mail and I will send one.

I downloaded a random map (Solar System .7d) and got it to show up in the list just by changing versionNumber to 2

Same here
