Ok this has been an idea in the staff circles for a while, i intend to put in some more graphics. The thing is that they aren't so easy to find. The only website i know right now is orbsydia. So here's a list of things that might be going in at the next patch version.

If you find any, please post here - the direct link to the thread. Previews are welcome.

P.S.: If you know how to make graphics for UO, or even have any in your archive, we'll be happy to make them useful.

2D for the game. Items, Monsters, also Gumps but gumps aren't that important.

Maybe this site could be of use:
http://uo-graphics.uo-francophone.net/index_en.php

What format does UO use for graphics ? .bmp ?
And which color-mode would they have to be made in ? 8bit RGB ?

If you are looking for specific graphics, i have been working with photoshop for a few years now, so probably i could help.

Another good site, they have lots of deko tile stuff. The site is in german but navigation is self-explanatory.
Just navigate through with the buttons on top of the site, they indicate which graphics to find in there.

http://www.uo-pixel.de/

have fun =)

and if there is any graphic you are looking for, but can't find on these sites, or probably a graphic you would like to have modified a bit, i think i should be able to do this.

:goodsuprise: Wow I was just looking at the uo-pixel.de site and WOW those monsters and other things on there are pretty sick! A quest line or something would be cool to introduce the new monsters.

I was wondering if it was possible to have different gumps for a few specific bags (such as the trash bag and the various bags of keeping/holding), or for the existing bag gumps to take on the hue of what their icons were colored/dyed.

It's a seriously minor thing, just an organization gripe, but I was wondering how easy it would be to implement if at all.

Let me ask Tintamar for some info, he shut down his uoart website.
I know his wife Tannis has the sticky on RUO about installing in custom art.

Yes it requires patching the client... my plan is to make the server compatible with version 6.0.3 and i'm also making some arrangements with Dash Ravishing for some outsourcing... so that he'd add the graphics that we already have, plus some extra ones.

I can not find the where/in what file the animations for the shields and bows that were added are... like the art that shows the shields from all the varied angles as your walk around with it.
