yes we can... we can use notepad to make maps the same way we can use good old pen and paper to work out a maths problem instead of using a calculator.
The point is that if the forge tool is fixed, then it will be easier
For anyone who reads this...i have found a reply by "PhonSiEtm" that works.
He said-----
To make a map you made in galaxyforge load in-game, open the map file with notepad and in the first or second line it would say "versionNumber" and the number 0 next to it. You must change this 0 to a 1. Save to Galaxy folder as usual and you will be able to run.
To open up dev maps in galaxyforge, do the opposite. (Open file with notepad edit the versionNumber from 1 to a 0 and you are set)
Of cource this is an inconvenience but it's not too bad
Cheers
