Custom Planet problem

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi all
I have created a map in twilight of the arnor map editor, I wanted to create custom Sol style star system with Earth-like background on my home planet, but game crashes every time if name of the star in editor and in customplanets.xml are the same (Sol in this case) or it does not work and shows "editor" version of the planet. When I start  non "custom map" my home planet is automatically Earth, but it doesnt work in map which I made in editor. Please help me

Custom maps don't really have any provision for special textures, AFAIK. They override/ignore the customplanets.xml file as well, so the crash was probably unrelated.

Thanx for reply
So there is no chance getting special textures into custom map? Well, it was not so important anyway, bit it would be nice

I think that crash must be related to customplanets.xml in some way , I have tried to solve this problem again and again last night, the result was always the same, when I changed name of the star in editor to Sol or in customplanets to Solar (name which I used for it in the editor) game crashed.. when I changed it back, everything worked just fine.. I also tried to read a debug file, looks like game crashed just after "loading star names" line when I start new custom map game. Well, it doesnt matter when game works fine and you cant use special textures for custom map anyway, thanx for help again

btw: I love this game :)
