UO Screenshot Renderer - RunUO

Tensor · 01-01-2004, 09:43 AM

Hi everybody,

I just released a little tool, that allows rendering your favourite Map Area.. Maybe it is useful for some freeshards.

Some samples are at

Hey thats pretty cool! :P :P

Khaybel · 01-01-2004, 05:52 PM

pretty cool can it do it in real time, or does it have to compile the rendered shot?

House Maker · 01-02-2004, 01:05 AM

So I tried it out, but I guess it does not work with AOS..

Blackette · 01-02-2004, 09:20 AM

Yeah House, same issue. We don't have patchdata.mul or verdata.mul files.

But I'm aching to get this tool going as it looks hella sweet. 8)

Xandor · 01-02-2004, 02:36 PM

Just make a blank text file and name it Verdata.mul and place it in your client mul directory. I have AOS and this allows me to use this utility.

lorddeception · 01-02-2004, 04:48 PM

Sorry but here's a newbie question:
How do I get it to work? Instructions please. Thanks.

Happy New Year.

House Maker · 01-02-2004, 07:36 PM

I do that but then I get a nice error about..
SYS | Loading UO Files....
SYS | Initializing renderer....
Warning (src/loaders/LocalMapPatches.cpp,184): Unknown Header ID in LocalMapPatches::Load(char *)

Tensor · 01-02-2004, 07:58 PM

just ignore this error

House Maker · 01-02-2004, 09:25 PM

It fails to load at that point..

Nifty

Blackette · 01-03-2004, 08:38 PM

House, give it a few minutes to kick in. It's doing something but doesn't look like it is, then after a while it will start up.

Adding the verdata.mul and worlddif. file as empty files worked for me.

House Maker · 01-04-2004, 03:28 AM

Ok got it to go, no prob there, but yes some instructions would be nice.. I am kinda stabbing in the dark on moving the rendering around to get different parts of the map..

shadow_keeper · 01-04-2004, 12:03 PM

First thing - Great Program

Already figured how I'll use the pics straight away

Second Thing - is it possible to get pictures of lets say brit bank, with the doors etc, WITHOUT patching it to the statics files?

Third Thing - is it possible to get renders of Ilshenar/Malas?

Tensor · 01-04-2004, 01:37 PM

Rendering dynamic items is possible for sphere worldfiles until now.. If someone wants to add runuo support, please contact me

Ilshenar/Malas is not yet possible, but would not be too difficult to add, if there is any interest...

icemallet · 01-09-2004, 05:13 AM

Is there away to render a full map?

Tensor · 01-09-2004, 12:05 PM

Yes, there is. Just edit the coordinates in config.xml. Maybe from 0/0 to 6143/4095, which means the whole map...

House Maker · 01-09-2004, 04:23 PM

Man that is going to be so big.. I tried doing one abit smaller then that, and it would not open afterwards.. BUt I will go home tonite and let it run.. :P

icemallet · 01-09-2004, 06:00 PM

Ok ya i got a erro...after like 2 hours of waiting i tryto open it and then it says doucment error.

House Maker · 01-09-2004, 06:55 PM

I wonder if you have to do little by little.. Mabye like this
--0/0-------0/1365--------0/2730-------0/4095
0/1536---1365/1536---2730/1536---4095/1536
0/3072---1365/3072---2730/3072---4095/3072
0/4608---1365/4608---2370/4608---4095/4608
0/6144---1365/6144---2370/6144---4095/6144

I am totaly guessing how this might work, but it might go something like this.. Say you want the middle part of the map, you would put in 1365/3072 2370/4608
Try this out and let me know.. I am at work and unable to try at this time.
I might have the numbers backwards, this needs more testing..

Yes plz

Tensor · 01-10-2004, 06:15 AM

Rendering the whole map would need a lot of disk space (about 40 gigs imho). Apart from the fact, that bitmaps can't be bigger than 2 GB there is no program which can handle such a big bitmap....
Try to play around with the "detail" option, so you will get a very much smaller file...
detail 0 is original size
detail 1 50% zoom
detail 2 25% zoom
and so on...

maybe that helps

Blackette · 01-10-2004, 11:34 AM

I think chopping it up into sections is the best way to do it.

Then see if you can open it in Adobe or PSP and reduce it a bit to .gif or something.

Excellent program, thank you for writing it. 8)

GoodVillain · 01-12-2004, 06:30 PM

Hey this is pretty cool. Nice work.

Zigamus · 01-08-2006, 04:10 PM

Is there a way to tell this tool to render an area on Ilshenar? or other facets? I dont see a place to specify the map to be rendered from
