Can you load a default map into a different theme?

In other words, can you use the load map function to load a map created with the default theme into a different theme (such as DW extended)?

I'm guessing the answer is 'no', because every time I try to do this, I get a message saying 'switching to default theme' then the game crashes.

By the way, I realise I could save the map in the maps folder for the theme. My question is whether a default generated custom map can be loaded into another theme without having to put the map in a maps folder for the theme.

Hope this is clear!

Not at the moment Osito, although that is something Elliot might look at while
dealing with the GameText file issue.

Thanks for the reply.

I hope Elliot will look at this soon, because it seems to me it makes my Galactic Starmap Project redundant for the moment. The main value of the map is for use in scenarios. It loses any value if you have to redo the map for every theme (so far I have spent around 150 hours on it). For example, I wanted to play it with the 'Extended' mod, but it turns out I can't.

Well, I guess the project is on hold until I know whether this issue will be addressed, and also whether any changes will apply to the map I have developed so far.

Thanks,

Osito
