no we used paintsho but we did load up the pallet, we ripped the origonal map file and ran it through map2bmp, and then ran it through dragon, dragonsp, and it didnt work either, it came up with the same screen as the first time i tried it with my test map. |

An elaboration of MAP2BMP: This is not able to create a bmp usable for Dragon. When you look at the bmp it creates, you'll notice that there is a lot of yellow. This is transition tiles that Dragon cannot read. Transition tiles are generated when you create a map, but itself can only create them. The reason is it uses the coloratable to look at what color a tile should be. Since the transitions do not have a color and are genereted, it puts them as yellow, which is not actually a color assigned to the table. Dragon is a one way process. The closest bmp that you'd be able to make from the Brit map is one made from InsideUO, but even that would have major problems. -Ryandor |

The reference to the pal not working was for I.Mage specifically. Now I am not positive about the pal not working in general since I don't use PSP, but you can try this: http://www.ryandor.com/files/i.mage.zip That is a PSP palette file that one should work for sure. Let me know. -Ryandor |
