I used the guide step by step. But after I use world forge and log on the cave floor is gone. Im not sure what i am doing wrong. The guide says to use Mod 8 and World Forge 6. I am using Mod 9 and World Forge 6.4.
Any idea what Im doing wrong?

Which guide/topic specifically?

Here's the step:
Now, you need to run DragonSP to include the statics that it creates.
When you run DragonSP, you'll see a list on the left side that has a bunch of scp's. For the cave make sure you select
?cavenew.scp? and ?cavenewdeco.scp? Make sure your paths are right to the statics above, then hit Start. When
asked ?Clear Statics?? most of the time you?ll want to answer yes.

Is this where you are having problems?

Additionally, select any *.scp file that has "cave" in it. It might be missing one. (black2caveRand, cave2blackRand, etc)

Also, make sure you have the right copy of the map/statics you are working with.

Hopfully that'll help.

That part works fine. At that point i can load every up and log on and the cave is there. Its after I use world forge that the cave disappears. The entrance is there its the inside part that seems to drawn over by world forge.

When you useWorldForge it is supposed to overwrite the "map" cave floor. DragonSP is suppose to freeze the "static" cave floor. So something in there is missing.

Run Dragon again, then look in the Dragon\Statics directory. You should have some files in there that were just created, in particular:
black2caveRand.scp
black2caveWalls.scp
cave2blackRand.scp
cavelow2black.scp
cavenew.scp
cavenewdeco.scp

Depending on the size of your cave the file size will vary, but some of them should contain at least something. When you look at the files they should contain lines like:


Also, double check to make sure you set the options in Dragon correctly with Sphere and not UOX:

DragonSP only works with Sphere type files that Dragon makes.

Well had almost everything right. It finally worked. What I did wrong was I was saving right to the UO Directory. I copied the files into the Dragon directory. Everything works now. Thanks for the help.

BTW dragon is awesome!!

Good to hear it works finally.
