I have been makeing a map useing MS paint and Dragon 9+, the map loads fine as does afew other files but when it comes time to load land tiles Dragon crashes and corrupts my UO files (Good thing i always backup). I have been useing the MSPaint guide posted at these forems and my dragon mod is configured correctly, i just dont know whats going wrong?

1 its a good idea to have dragon write to files other then you main files (incase somthing goes wrong :P
2 it probly didnt crash it kindof does this thing where it looks that way but is still working so closing it prematurly would corrupt your files

and thats only good advice if its not giving you any error messages and just kindof locking up slightly

Even when your task manager shows it as not responding, 99% of the time it truly is working. Although, if you have a Comp that has anything better than say, 128 RAM, and 1gig MHz.. it shouldnt take but 5 mins total (give or take a min or 2)
The comp I typically use to run Dragon (1.6 MHz, 512 Ram) takes about 2 minutes.. both Dragon and DragonSP, and including the time to close one, and start the other.

My first suggestion.. Get a better paint program. I would almost bet that would cure a lot.

I agree i used paint before i got photoshop, and the ammount of memory it used to do a picture of that size in such a small program , whew it hurst if you cant get your hands on a better prog, try restarting your comp before you try and run dragon...

Why is Dragon so slow? I wrote a little map-editing thing that does a lot more in a lot less time (about 10 seconds on a 1ghz).

My pc is a 1.6 with 512mb of ram, dragon takes 228 secs to make a map on avg. Takes longer if your doing other things.

Not sure what my comp stuff is x.x but it takes me exactly 17 minutes and something seconds to make a map in dragon, and afterwards my computer is really slow. DragonSP is done in an instant though :)
