You'll need to be just a tad bit more specific. What exactly are you attempting to do? -Ryandor |

Given the limitations of the colors available in Dragon, you'll have to use WorldForge to tweak the altitudes how you like. Since there's only so many colors, it's not posible to do every single type of landscape/altitude. -Ryandor |

So far, everything you've asked is covered in the forums. You should do a search. But to save a little time, you can't edit the map in worldforge with the client or server running. Also, make sure it's not read-only. -Ryandor |

works fine you just have to take care that your UO client and/or server (if both are running on the same machine) are not started. Then you won't be able to change anything as the files are not writeable/changeable then. Best solution would be, make a workdirectory and copy your map and static files to this directory and point inside worldforge to this directory. After editing those files, you only have to copy those files to the client/server directory. And don't forget to make copys/backups

Then I would suggest reading through the map making tutorial, and experimenting with little things at a time. Reading through the forums will also give you lots of tips and help. Learning how to make a good map takes time. You're not going to get a perfect map on the first attempt. -Ryandor |

you`ll have to get in working with worldforge anyway, if you want to create a really good map. creating such a hill would be a great exercise. so look for some good wf tutorials and start. |

Those boxes have to have the exact location of the files in them. They will stay red until this requirement is met. Make sure you have the entire directory path typed in them. There are also many different versions of WorldForge for you to play with, so if one doesn?t work for you, try another. |

Excerpt from http://www.ryandor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=151 3. Basic Terrains A: Grass Now that you have the file for the map created and the water and dungeons set, it's time to start drawing. For the first island you draw I recommend "Grass 0" to get the basic shape down. Creating a "natural looking" island is beyond this tutorial, so use your best judgment on what *you* think looks good. Pretty much what you draw is what you will get in the map. Make a hill: pick the color "Grass 5". Draw an area on the island you made. You now have a small hill. Pick "Grass 10" and paint a smaller area in the same spot. Your hill just got higher. I think you get the picture. Grass is pretty basic. How detailed do you want it? The default heights for grass are 0,2,5,10,12,15,20,22,25,30,32,35,40,42,45. If you make concentric circles with them you get a pretty decent hill. Granted it isn't the smoothest. Possibly for the next mod should make them more even Ry? Assuming we don't add or remove swatches for grass say: 0,3,6,10,13,16,20,23,26,30,33,36,40,42,45. As for what this topic has digressed to; everyone is correct, you need to learn Worldforge. Dragon is a great tool but if you want to make a great map you need more than just Dragon. |

www.uox3.org has a good version that I like. Make sure you get the XP/2K version of the .exe if that's what you have, or else one of the boxes will be off the screen and it won't work (maybe this is your problem to begin with?). |

I've been trying to get WF to work for me as well, but I can't seem to find one particular file. It's the items.wsc file. I've searched all over and I just can't seem to find it. Is it part of the Sphere of UOX3 files? Or am I just completely in the dark on this? |

If you're just using the map editor, there's no need to worry about the item.wsc file. However, yes, it is a uox world item file. If you want, you can just create an empty text file and name it items.wsc. -Ryandor |

It's the file that contains all the items on a UOX shard. That's how WF works... it takes that file, and freezes the items you specify. When it melts, it puts the items back into that file. |
