Strange player position issue (Forge v3)

from Sins Forums

Ok, so I created a three vs one map in the Forge. I turned random starting positions off and assigned home planets.  So from what I have read in the forums thus far I should be starting as player0 every single time...but when I go to create a new game with the map it puts a CPU in player 0 and me in player 1.

What I mean by this is that when I create the game I see a computer listed as the top player, myself as the second, and two other computers as the third and fourth -before- starting the game.  It is this way every single time. It wasn't always like this but I'm not sure what could have happened to cause the default human player number to 1 instead of 0...

Has anyone else run into this? I can't seem to find any answers about this except "turn random starting positions off"...but they were off to start with.

did you force the map to make player0 you and player1 CPU?

if you did that maybe the issue, I've noticed this bug when I would force the which player was which. Just leave the player set ups alone and when you start the game it should revert back

I'm not following that. I -did- set them as teams.  So, I set player0 to team 0 and players 1-3 as team 1.  It auto-placed me as player1 so that I'd be in the team.  For some reason when I switch the teams back (so that player 1 is -not- in the team) it puts me back as player 0 and, of course, on the team with the others.  I am not sure -why- it does it, but at least I know what put me as player1.

No. I only set players up as members of teams.  I set player0 on team 0 and the others on team 1.  This somehow forced me to become player1.  When I changed the teams to show that player1 was on team 0 and the others were on team 1 it put me back on as player0.  It seems to want me to be in a team with the other computers.  I'm not entirely sure why.

yeah, the force team thing is broken, don't use it (thats was what I was talking about, its been a while since I used that option)

Well. I tried removing the teams (putting them all to -1) and my map seems to have been corrupted. It now causes a minidump every time I load it.
