You got a lot to learn. I don't care if you drew a wonderful picture of a map in a few hours (it's doable for someone creative and with good skills) noone and I mean noone is going to turn your work of art into a perfect Dragon map in a few hours.

To me my design is perfect... the way i want it. I do not mind if my dragon creation is not exactly the same as what my design is, what i do mind is that it comes up with something completely different. I at least want the basic shape with mountains and land in the right place

Wow that's way different. Even accounting for stuff wrapping around that's still not even the same picture lol.

I'm sure you have, but double and triple and quadruple check that you didn't somehow get someone else's mapfile and/or statics and/or diff files loaded. I can't imagine how Dragon would create anything like that from your bmp drawing.

I think the priority of this post should be to help jrocks with his problem, not to question his ability to make maps or the length of time it takes to make them. I've seen friendly smiling faces around here for people that made the crappiest looking map I've ever seen in my life... surely we can spare a few smiles for jrocks too?

I redesigned alot of the map and i run it though dragon again. This time all water came out as grass, what the hell is going on, have i got a faulty version of Dragon?

Ok... I think i found the solution. What i did was after excessive bitching and cursing was open up Paintshop Pro 7 (Don't have a clue how to do anything in and i messured out all the regions perfectly. I mean dungeon region and sea. i spent 30 to double check everything was perfect, i then drew an island and ran it though dragon and finally it spews out what i wanted.

Looking back i could have just changed the island in test map that came with Dragon, but still i think the problem was that my origanal template was off. Finally i am up and running
