Ahhh ok. Thanks for clarifying that. I'll take a go at it with mod 9 and a re-worked graveyard script. Can't wait for mod 10

Excellent info, Stormcrow. I've moved this post into the Map Making Tutorials and Techniques.

Mod 10 update:

It turns out that the new colors I was going to add for the mod 10 are not going to work 100%. As it turns out, the sandbrick color will only work with the north/south type, as the east/west type is bugged in the 3D client (the lava error).

Additionally, the darkbrick will not work at all, as both north/south and east/west are bugged as well.

In it's place I will be attempting to add a "forest-cliff" type color. This is similiar to the T2A type of landscape that is in the OSI map. I should be able to create transitions for this to grass, forest and dirt.

Coastlines like OSI: Not, or only with a bunch of work possible with Dragon.
I?m playing sometimes with Worldcraft on the Osi Map, and the brown tiles will nobody found on the Osi Map.
The solution is easy: Dragon can only, at my knowledge, make an one tile huge transition, no two tiles (lines).
The coast is so only one transition tile huge, but it needs some more tiles to be perfect like the Osi Tiles, 1 1/2 Lines *G*
A work for some mad guys with Worldcraft and a hole bunch of Coffee

Just an FYI:
I did consider at one time to change the way Dragon does coast lines. Effectively making it so that it's not quite as "automatic" as it is, and actually making a color that was specifically for the -15 brown tiles under the water at coasts. This would have made it little more complicated to draw a map, but would have offered more control.

I never did go through with the idea, and I probably never will, although I would invite anyone else to attempt it.

As far as the mod 10 status goes, I'm still recovering from being sick, so work is going a bit slow still, but I have been working on it a bit lately.

how would adding the -15 brown tile give us more control? I might try fixin' it up if I understood the reasoning behind it...

You didn't read that completely. I said I did consider at one time adding it. I didn't do it because it really didn't help much, among other reasons.

Cranky cranky. Somebody's nap time, ry?

Any new ETA on the new mod? Just curious.

I can modify map2 and map 3 with mod 10 of dragoon?

No ETA. Hey Ry, are you back yet? I know neither of us has much time to work on this right now but give me a hollar. Some stuff I wanted to discuss with you so I can go ahead on a few things in the time I do have.

And no, no map2 or map3 with mod 10 or any mod. Ry didn't write Dragon. I didn't write Dragon. Darus wrote Dragon. Only Darus can modify parts of Dragon that aren't scriptable. Unless any of you out there are programmers and want to decompile the executeable or ask Darus for the source code(he did offer it at 1 time).

Darus pops his head in from time to time. I know he is working on some other UO program right now but officially Dragon development is done. He isn't going to do anymore work on it.

I am not programmer and sabria not to make it but good idea serious that somebody requested to him I cosay and worked in the dragoon so that this good program could work with maps 2 and 3 and do of but a much complete program.
