Don't worry about your English there are alot of people here who are not native to English either.

About your question. Yes you can make a map in worldforge unfortunatly you must do it tile by tile (generally) so your best bet is to use a program called dragon, it is best used with a high-end graphics program like photoshop. Works wonders. Good luck :D

which dragon version?
it has to be the right colors, 8bit (see tutorial ; keyword: indexed colors)
the right size (6144x4096 px)
and should not be a rle but a bmp file.

yea you can use any paint program to make youre maps but if you use Photo Shop 6 and up Ryandor has some kick ass toutorials. And imop its easyer to fine tune w/ PS.

mmmm wht the color can't be the same?
i've make a file with PS7
with the color of the pallet in the tutoria...
then when go to see it with insideUO
sure after transfer it with dragon I can't see nothing
sure depend that i use a 24 bit and no an 8 bit but if a open the file with paint and save with it i lost the color info and all the map is different
like snow where must be green and over.... then i ask u why?
