Animation Idea

[Vert I Go]

Ok its been a long time since i dived into Uo used to be around here as joshw but lost my password and stuff don't know if anyone remembers me but I did do alot of graphics and animations for the game and I am thinking of starting up a website to share my animations. only problem is I dont have a host that is large enough to hold the files it takes to share these animations and was wondering if anyone would like to help or start a joint operation to get this project off the ground ? I would like to have it where it would explain step by step a how to add animations, art, gumps, rideables and etc plus having a place to share what has already been done I currently have over 34 custom animations id like to share with the comunity but have no platform to do so. UO Graphics is pretty out dated and nothing new has beenplaced there from what i can tell a year or so and there is so much more out there that can be shared.

Exsamples of what I have

Rideable Spide, Baby dragon, Pegasus, saytr, frost giant, fire giant (2 versions), rideable skeletal dragon, custom armored horse (used the horse barding in game and placed on reg hiorse animation, and many more

if interested shoot me a line on here and we can talk this is for the runuo comunity not some private horder of animations which have to be a full member to getthese animations i want to share with you all.

I am able to write the old html format and can create all the webpage needs for the site just dont have a host. we would provide support or at least i would provide support for any question or problems you might have

If you tell me the total amount of disk space needed, maybe i can work something out for you.

[Vert I Go]

as of right now i have 33 custom animations all working with uo already have the uop patch files and correct animation blocks and each file is around 2k to 5k KB and i have plans to make another 20 to 30 animations not really sure ill pst some images of what i have so far not all of them of course lol



I have many more but not gonna fil the page with what i have

on the armored horse the armor is dyeable and the saddle remains the brown color so it works well with barding deeds

I would also like to say that if there is an animation youd like to see in game it doesnt take a whole lot to add it to the game and is pretty easy to create the animations if you have bitmaps to base it off of

[MarciXs]

I can help you out if you need hosting. I've got plenty of free space.

Jeez, that armor on the horse looks really, really sweet. However I dont have much experience with Custom artwork, infact I have never ever used it before.

Does it require any distro mods, and if so are they complicated ?

regards

[Vert I Go]

no there is no core modifications that need to be done with runuo its about pacthing your UO files just have to script the mobiles in runuo thats all it is and patching .MUL files isnt really that difficult its getting your players to be able to patch which is the hard part now since uogateway is gone and havent had much luck with conectuo so have played around with it to see how the patching occurs in that program

here is a exsample of the armored horse granted this was done in 1.0 somight not work on 2.0 and have to have animation for this to work but here is what you would have to do in runuo notice there is also a section for barding in here
