Galaxy Forge Help

Made a custom map added players and homeworlds were true to the players. Work with AI but kicks Players out in multi when i try to host it

from Sins Forums

So I made a map in galaxy forge and it works Great and as expected when playing with AI only. I go to multi to try and find a team mate and it seems the map kicks the player out for an unknown reason. not my connection Because I hosted on a different map and the first guy that join connected fine and wasn't instantly kicked out. I made the map properly adding enough player homeworlds I set them to true. and made them player specific.  Anyone who doesn't know what that is I also wanted to know how do you make "Hostile" Planets in galaxy Forge? in the in game editor it allows you to change the individual planets Neutrality making the planet Habited by non player specific factions. I hope someone can help me as im sure these question aren't going to be the easiest to help with. Appreciate anyone who can help or point me in the direction I need. Thanks

I'm not 100% sure but does the other person need to have the map also? I've never tried so I don't know, just a thought.

I was thinking that. im not sure how to do that if its needed. I used to play custom maps with a friend but he never needed to download it or anything. But it was with the in game editor so im not sure either

That is correctly. Unfortunately the game does not allow you to auto share galaxy forge maps like ti does with map designer maps. You'll need to send your friend(s) the map you made before they can play it.

You need to open the map in notepad after you are done making the layout in Galaxy Forge. Go to the planets you want the militia to own and set the owner to "RandomMilitia". This will cause the same units that spawn on the map designer maps to appear. You can also set custom units for the militia to own with this method. Take a look at a map like this one I made in notepad, which has unique militia and pirate ships on almost every planet.

Email attachment? File hosting website? Dropbox? Pretty standard thing you need to do on the internet these days, I recommend you figure out one that works for you. ;)
