Your problem may be based on the game not being able to generate a map from your mod folder in a similar mode.

BK, if you want to use a speciffic map, you will have to declare it in the game setup menu. IIRC the game generates a random map for all games based on the paremeters in the setup menu unless you specifically tell it to use your map.

Remember one thing when working with the map editor, Save and save often (under different version names) as the editor had some problems.
Thanx for that, but the Starmap image was the issue, not so much the map of systems
