Issues with maps

from Stardock Forums

I must have at least thirty .galaxy map files in my galaxy folder ... why do I only show 9 map choices in-game? If this is some sort of weird bug, is there somewhere that I can DL the original map files without having to reinstall (and thus reDL) Sins?

This is a fresh install of Sins, with a few custom maps added (which, after not showing up in the in-game lists, I removed thinking that some sort of naming issue was causing most of my stock maps not to show up in-game either).

Hi!

Custom maps sometimes have the wrong version number. Open the .galaxy file with notepad or similar and look at the very top. It has to be 1 for patch 1.05 or earlier and 2 for 1.1 and later. Just change if necessary and save the file (maybe  notepad adds .txt to the file name, change it back to .galaxy).

If you put tha custom map files into the ...\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins...\Maps folder they should now appear under custom maps in the game.
