Hi guys, :)

Today I wanted to play a DM with some guys, and the chosen map was "Dragons Month", I joined and what I saw was this:

:shock:

Other maps work fine, like "Entombed":

The map ran fine before, also I have an ATI card so I can't run hardware mode, only software.

What you guys suggest?

My system specs:

HP G62
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
4 GB RAM
ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4250

Thanks in advance for your help! :D

Yeah, that "Dragon's Mouth" map doesn't look good in software mode. It's not the same planet as Entombed, it's something custom. The only solution is to run in hardware mode. Rather than fullscreen software mode, maybe you should try windowed hardware mode. If the sky looks strange, you can set desktop colors to 16 bit in control panel.

Dragon's Month is actually a typo made by the author of the map in the .mad file.

Dragon's Mouth.txt:
Spoiler:
Map: Dragon's Mouth
Version: 1.0

Release Date: 06-24-98
Author: "Oasis"
E-Mail: dtisrael(at)msn(dot)com
Homepage: none ( for now )
Feeback:

Planet: My very own "Furnace"
Size: 1280x1280
Players: 8

Powerups: yes

Description: very hot very red!

Installation Instructions
-------------------------
Before you begin exit Battlezone if it is running.

1) All the files in the zip file need to be unzipped into your BattleZone\addon directory (folder).

2) Do not modify any of the files in any way! The map will no longer work and/or lose
multiplayer compatability.

3) Open the file called "netmis" in the Battle Zone DIR. at the bottom type:
DragonMo.bzn DragonMo.des 8 8 netveh.txt D Dragon's Mouth

Next time you play multiplayer, you should see "Dragon's Mouth" as one of the available
strategy maps.

If you have problems installing the map, make sure you have the above command line right
and the following files in your Battlezone\addon directory (folder):

DragonMo.bzn
DragonMo.trn
DragonMo.mat
DragonMo.hgt
DragonMo.lgt
DragonMo.bmp (optional)
DragonMo.mad

OR is the mapadder program

Ah, thanks! :D
I never knew it was a custom planet, only thing that caught my attention was the lightning like Venus.
And yes, my capture program sometimes cuts off a part of the screen, it only does that in 1.4. I never saw it in 1.5.
