Cannot use Galaxy Forge Maps in Multiplayer

Sadly, custom maps will not auto-download. So, the only way to get them played online is to get other players to download the maps and install them properly. For some reason adding the maps properly is trickier with Vista. It should be as easy as just moving the .galaxy map files into the main Sins Galaxy folder (not the Application Data folder) and any .tga files into the main Sins Textures folder.

I have maps I downloaded into the galaxy folder, but they do not show up in my maps lists. How do I resolve this?

If you are using 1.09, then the maps have to be manually opened with notepad and set versionNumber to two.

I will try that, thanks

Is there a help section that gives that type of information somewhere?

You're on it. Most of the basics are covered in FAQs, but some of the more obscure stuff (And more than a bit of the basic stuff) is generally answered in the forums in each thread. Some of the older threads contain some real useful info.

ok, just didn't know if it was on an instructions page somewhere.

It worked, thanks for your help

hey kitkum, i cannot save the files after changing the version number to 2. i keep getting an error that prevents me from saving the folders saying that the folder location and path are not correct. checked properties and it shows that the folder is read-only. regardless of what i do to make it not read only, it reverts back to read only every time.

You'll probably need to be at least an administrator on the system to change that.
