ok ... i have a really big problem with my map... i made a map with photoshop...

and then i used dragon to get it in .mul file... (dragon and dragonSP)
and then it gave me this:

(for the first time)
then, i RE-scanned it with dragon to try to fix this and now it simply wont work.... do someone have an idea of what is that bug? ... and how to fix it? thx....

(btw im on runUO , do it make a change?)

Never seen anything like it, looks like parts of your map got "enlarged" and layered over and over.

Try getting a clean copy of Dragon with new scripts and doing it again, if that does not work try a different version of Dragon, i.e. 9+, 10 or 11 etc. Let us know how it turns out or remains the same.

well i heard of someone having this prob over the forums... but i didnt found the post... I dotn see my map, i see like MILLIONS of mountains everywhere when im ingame

The above map is in .jpg format, is your game map that you are trying to convert .jpg as well? If so this is your problem, if not I'll scratch my head some more.

Damn! ... i found why, i use photoshop, and wheni use the RETRACTION utility, (to do hills and mountains) well it make a lighter color BETWEEN each phase i choosed... i explain... i did a retraction of 2 pixels, so when it make it, these 2 pixels are not the same color it come darker to lighter de pending of the two colors of the rectraction... dunno if u understand,... well.. i have to make an other map... :'( DAMN!

okay i found a way to fix that... take not can it can happen t any of you... hum well i found how with photoshop, there is a tool that able us to FORCE the colors to be 'choose your palette' (mine was Dragon9's palette) so it change all the colors taht was not originaly in the palette to get them to the nearest color ^^ hum ok but i still have a question about map making, when i want to use dragon, what should i do? Am i supposed to change the settings?

Yes you need to direct the program to where your .bmp is and where to place it after its compiled. Personally I make sub folders inside the Dragon program folder to keep it organized.

Dont worry about the "Fix File" location, I never use it.
