I wish I knew how to do that...

Open it in notepad, go to line 36, change TriggerCount 1 to TriggerCount 0 and remove the tabbed stuff up to starCount

So... I opened it in notepad and changed what I needed to. Now all my Galaxy.files are showing up as notepads. And I don't know how to change it back

JESUS CHRIST. Every single galaxy file has been changed to a notepad format. 

 

EDIT: Ok, everything runs fine. Just a little over reacting. ALSO IT WORKS. But when I start the game it automatically puts it at a game over

No need. Nothing's broken. If you really need to, I think it's done through default programs. But having notepad as the default won't hurt anything.

Yeah, sorry about that, over reacted a bit. But, hey, it works and everything looks like it's in place correctly. But now when the map loads, I automatically lose or win, would you know how I could fix that

A cause could be you didn't set a 'homeplanet' as the starting planet for the factions.

A course could be you didn't set a 'homeplanet' as the starting planet for the factions.

I set Earth as the UNCS's home planet (AKA Player0 which I renamed UNSC) and I made Senghelios the Covenant's (yes, I know it's not canon but I don't know how I'd be able to do High Charity)

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I FINALLY have it working correctly. I just derped and mispelled one of the Covenant as an owner of Sanghelios. The map is working and fully functional!

Ok so, out of necessity for larger maps for the mod I have made this map. Designed for team play, but with some augmentation it could become FFA. No real backstory or critical points for it like I did for linchpin, just your average map with control points so it can actually be played in SotP with the mods core logic in place. Something of note though, map is not quite done. I still need to resize the wells but figured I would post it here so you can get a first look. Also, any idea for a name?

How about- Chiroptera as it loosely resembles the Batman movies bat symbol for the map name.

Why dont you guys make a map where you're fighting in planets OVER the Greater Ark? It is said that the Ark is the size of a galaxy right? So why not make it into like a background image.

Nope, the greater ark is 3 times larger than the lesser(Halo 3) Ark but-

The ark is NOT the size of a galaxy.

Steps to get infinite galaxies:
1. Start with galaxy.
2. Build Greater Ark.
3. Build Greater Arks in Greater Ark.
4. ?????
5. PROFIT

Please excuse my ignorance if this has already been addressed, but has the mod team created any maps optimized for competitive play?

 

Thank you for your time.

Indeed they have, some are still buggy but for the most part they work. Best one is probably, Chokepoint (1v1), pretty much the flagship map for the mod. It should be in the galaxy forge section of maps. Epsilon Eradini is also a good one but not quite finished.

Edit: there is also one in medium maps called tournament 2v2 which was designed specifically for serious competitive play. Don't worry about there being a 5th slot, that's so we could have observers. If you don't have it, it should be available from the tournament thread in 'community events'.

I made a map already like this but what about a COOP map against only flood?

 

Basically put the AI players in between all the flood worlds and have Human players opposite of the flood worlds give them a large amount starting planets and resources at their disposal so they can build massive fleet and try different tactics for fighting the flood.

 

So basically its mainly COOP but you know you could be a dick and take every ones planets while the deal with the flood.


When I die, please bury me deep! Place an MA5 down by my feet! Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear! Just pack my box with PT gear! 'Cuz one early morning 'bout zero five! The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky! Don't you worry, don't come undone! It's just my ghost on a PT run!”

Veni, Vidi, Vici!
