7.0 Photoshop is not the problem since I use the same program for mine.
Photoshop step by step
1. Open the program
2. use Ryandors map template to make sure its the correct size (actions file)
3. Set the water and dungeon area which should be part of the action files.
4. Make the map.
5. Select "Save" in Photoshop and make sure the format is .bmp and that "Copy" is checked.
6. In the next window after save make sure it says "Windows OS" and "8 Bit" are selected. (Should be default)
Close Photoshop because now your .bmp is done.
Open Dragon and follow these steps. (I use 9+plus which is version 1.03.62)
1. Top row of Dragon "BMP File" make sure that your path is set to the file you wish to compile into your map.
2. Second row is the "Fix File" which is not used.
3. Third row is "Output Map File", make sure this is pointing to a folder "other than" the UO folder and name the file "map0.mul" then click "Ok".
4. Click on the "Configure" button on the bottom right and make sure that "Remove Static Files", "High Priority" and "Sphere Statics" are selected. Select "Ok"
5. Click "Start" and wait.....(this is the important part) If you think its stuck do "NOT" touch anything, simply jiggle the mouse which will normally cause the memory to refresh on your computer and help nudge it along. This step will seem to take forever on slower computers with 128megs of ram, wait....
After this step is complete "close" Dragon and open DragonSP.exe and perform the following.
1. First line wants to know where the dragon program is going to place the information that Dragon generated in the last step so direct it to the same folder as you placed the map0.mul file.
2. Same thing as #1
3. Select the button that says "All" in the middle left of the screen, they should all be highlighted in grey.
4. Click "Start" and again.....wait.....
Once the program is done you simply go to where you told Dragon to create the files and copy the following files to your UO folder to "Overwrite" your old files or rename them and make backups but do "NOT" create blanks called by the same names then try to overwrite those....
map0.mul
staidx0.mul
statics0.mul
Thats it, your map is done. If it has errors then the files are missing or corrupt and you need to totally remove the install from your system and get a fresh copy from the download section of Ryandors.
