Problem inserting Artifacts

from Sins Forums

Hi all, I'm in the midst of designing a custom map (I have Diplomacy, fully updated).  I'm editing the custom map manually, via Notepad as the latest Galaxy Forge does not seem to have all the artifacts listed.

I have no problems inserting the following artifacts:

WeaponBoost

GalaxyTravel

HyperspaceSpeed

ResearchArchive

StrongCulture

TradeIncome

But the following refuse to turn up when I insert them and I suspect I'm using the wrong name or capitalization of letters or something:

PassiveRegenAntimatter

PlanetBombingShield

OrganicAI

HullRepairOverTimeIncrease

WormholeTravel

ShipBuildTimeReduction

All help appreciated, thanks in advance :)

Try copying+dropping the Diplomacy "GalaxyScenarioDef.GALAXYSCENARIODEF" file into the Galaxy Forge 3 folder. Click "yes" that you want to overwrite the existing file in GF3.

Also, I recommend using NotePad++ to manually edit the map, and also to go the the .GALAXYSCENARIODEF file as it has line counts and if an error in the file pops up and the error message gives you a line #, you'll be able to fix it/find the offender ASAP.

Currently, the game can only spawn these artifacts and bonuses.

  • "Bonus:CrystalMiners"
  • "Artifact:WeaponBoost"
  • "Artifact:AntimatterRegen"
  • "Artifact:HullRepair"   
  • "Artifact:HyperspaceSpeed"
  • "Artifact:GalaxyTravel"
  • "Artifact:StrongCulture"
  • "Artifact:WormholeTravel"
  • "Artifact:BuildTimeReduction"

However, you can easily mod the game to get them all, especially as I've already prepared a little download (it says entrenchment but it will still work with diplomacy) that does most of the work for you.
