I want a small map, and by small I mean SMALL. A city...some area on the outside and that's basically it for now. Once I have that I want to go into the game and actually decorate the city etc. I have no one direction I play on taking this map, nor do I plan on making a server for people to play on (just me, my gf, my brother and a few real life friends for RPing). I have Photoshop but can't use it to save my life. I've read the MSPaint guide on this site and I think I will end up using that. So, this is what I'm asking....
I make the map with MSPaint, open up Dragon, convert my map into map0.mul. Run DragonSP and let it generate tree's and what not. Now, I want to be able to play, build, map as I go. I know it's possible so I just want to make sure I have the gist of it down. The map thus far would be playable. Oh, and I am using RunUO. Anyway, I go into the game and say build a church. Add decoration etc. I believe I typed "[freeze" to make it all static. Now, if I add NPC's and other items that are useable, how do I make them stay if I want to update the map? And would there be much of a problem by updating it as I go?
I probably didn't make much sense but I'm trying to learn as I go
