how do I play a downloaded map?

from Sins Forums

Kinda a noob question.

 

I downloaded some maps from these forums and other online file downloading sites but I can't figure out how to play them.

 

I thought about putting them in the Stardock Games\ Sins of a Solar Empire\ Galaxy folder but it didn't seem to work.

 

Suggestions?

assuming you have sins 1.16 then you need to put them in the following folder

C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge (xp) or

C:\users\"user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge (vista/windows7)).

hope this helps

I use windows XP but no such directory exists \=

 

I tried searching my computer for a "GalaxyForge" folder but nothing came up.

 

I then realized I was putting the maps in the SINS galaxy folder and not the Entrenchment Galaxy folder.... but even still I can't get the map to show up on the list \=

 

Directory I'm using is C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Entrenchment\Galaxy

You need to look for the folder in your documents and settings then your user name and then under local settings and application then under ironclad games, then you would find sins of a solar empire then put it in galaxyforge, but after you reach username, local settings and application data is hidden either type it into the address bar, or go to your folder settings and turn off "Hide hidden file and folder" then proceed
