Galaxy Forge Saved Maps not showing anywhere

from Sins Forums

I was attempting to play some of my maps created on Galaxy forge. I have the most up to date version of Sins, Entrenchment, and Galaxy Forge. I made a map and just have it saved to my desktop currently.

I attempted to save a copy in my:

C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Entrenchment\Galaxy

folder, loaded the game and nada, I restarted and put a sole copy in:

C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

folder again to no avail. I then saw a post and started over and put the sole copy in

C:\Documents and Settings\Jerome Schneider\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Galaxy

folder while not having a copy in any of the other folders. I also checked in notepad and it shows version 3. If anyone can help I would be most greatful. If I need to put the same copy in multiple folders or where I am not sure.

for 1.16/entrenchment 1.02 the correct location for galaxy forge maps made with galaxy forge 3 is

C:\Documents and Settings\'user name'\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\GalaxyForge

for windows xp if you place a galaxy forge map elsewhere it will not be seen by sins 1.16

also the galaxy forge maps in galaxyforge folder show up in a new catagory of maps AFTER the map designer maps, ie the sequence is small, medium, large, map designer(was custom), THEN galaxy forge

the program files galaxy folder is only for the ironclad sourced maps now

hope this helps

wow this is getting more and more complex first they split off the mod folders between the versions (which makes sense) but now the galaxy files are seperated?!

mooster the reason that I see is that mapdesigner maps are a different structure to the galaxy forge maps and they both use version 3 but do not work when you put a forge map in map designer & visa versa instant defeat
