I created a map.bmp, and converted it to map0.mul with Dragon. I also created a staidx0.mul and a statics0.mul with DragonSP. Before placing them in the UO directory, I ran InsideUO and I -could- view the map that way (while they were still in the Dragon directory). At this point I placed them in the UO directory, attempted to load my server which said
FATAL:MUL file 'map0.mul' not found...

And when I attempted to load my client.exe I got this message:

UOReport::fatal:
Failed to open 'map0.mul' from HD using a maximum install. Either this file is not readable, your system needs to be rebooted, or the file does not exist and you either need to reinstall or switch to a non-maximum install.

NOW, before when I was using the dragon.bmp included in the Dragon.zip I couldn't even view the map on InsideUO. After I created my own, I could view it with InsideUO but I'm still getting the error messages. This is completely baffling to me.

Anyone have any ideas?

I have one idea. And that is are you making the map the right size?
I think it has to be something like 6144 x 4096. I'm not sure about this.
But that is the only thing I can think of. If that isn't it... I have no clue

Do you have both 2D and 3D installed, and maybe had not replaced the mul files in one of them, leaving them out of the folder?

See that's the baffling thing. The map is 6144 x 4096, resolution 72 pixels per inch. It's the correct size. It's not even that complex, I just made a small island in the middle of an ocean to test it out. I made sure to include several layers, one for water, one for the island, and then another for trees.

It would seem to me that if the map were corrupt, I wouldn't be able to view it with InsideUO while it was still in the Dragon directory.

I have only one version of Ultima Online installed, (I'm using Ultima Online 2D found on the LBR disc), and it's in C:\Program Files\Ultima Online\.

I thought it may be because I'm using Windows XP, or perhaps because I'm using UO2D: LBR, but I've spoken with several people who have created maps using the same OS and the same UO disc.

I'm not -too- terribly knowledgable about such things, but I have a feeling that the problem is created after I've placed map0.mul, staidx0.mul, and statics0.mul in the UO directory.

What do you guys think?
