Ryandor's Dragon Mod version 9 Plus (9.1) 1 July 2003 This is an add-on for Mod 9 (required). To install, extract to your Dragon folder making sure you use folder names. It will create some new files and overwrite changed files. Make sure you back up your Dragon folder if you have custom files. This is completely compatible with maps made with mod 9. What's included: Color: roughgrass Transition: roughgrass Item transition: rock2- / star2- Item placement: roughgrass Item placement: swamp Item placement: prairie and plains --- About the Roughgrass: This color is for creating "true" OSI swamps. It's used for placing a rough looking (hence the name) grass around swamp. Included are the item placement files (including an enhanced swamp). Thanks goes out to StormCrow for creating this. About the rock2- and star2- This was by request from Imprint. This will create a coastline like the Malas map. Bascially a rock border between the land and starfield. This currently covers grass, grassbump, roughgrass, dirt, snow, sand, jungle and mountain (mountain looks bad though). About prairie and plains: By request as well, from Galavorn, these are test scripts for replacing grass and desert item placements. They are commented out for now in the items.txt file. If you use them you MUST either comment out the grass and desert lines or make sure the areas they cover do not overlap. These need to be adjusted for your taste. Consider these starter scripts to play with.
