Personally, a little bit on the background of the shard would help as well.. to get a theme of what it will be like, would help with a name. I can't help but note the "negative" names, and this gives me an idea, but I could be wrong..

well um um.. uh.. lol

Only time i've seen/heard of that is turning daylight savings time changes lol. You could go through and make sure you aren't missing [EOF]'s on the ends of your scripts, that's the only thing I can think of that could cause that.

now c how busy i am o yeah did i mention i do about 20 scripts a day in a notebook at school?

I LOVE DOING THIS ITS SO FUN but can be boring at times :( wow this post has gone wild!!!! o well

SO how do u make a mod? and when is that mul builder program gonna comeout sheesh!!! I am so sick of michelangelo i cant wait for mulbuilder

How to make a mod....
Hmm.. well, I'll tell you that playing around is a start, but a better way would be to study the scripts that come with Dragon. See how they interact, and how everything is tied together. Then change one part of a script (a small part) and see what it does. Experience will teach most of it to you.

Here's some basics on how Dragon works:

The core scripts are maptrans.txt and groups.txt. These two scripts are the heart of Dragon. These are what define the colors and terrain types.
Focus on these. In maptrans.txt you can set the colors (actually the indexes of the colors, the actual color matters not as you can make grass purple if you really want), the altitude, and the terrian. The groups.txt controls what scripts can do what and where as far as transitions and static items (froze with DragonSP) go. Everything else is dependant on these two files. The items.txt control the overall static items and each file listed in there (grass.txt, forest.txt, etc) control placement of the statics in each group.

This should give you something to start with and hopefully give you an idea of how it all fits together.
Have fun and good luck.
