Is there a list of files or sources anywhere that explains where to find various images? Specifically the login screen image. I am using the installer from UO (UO Classic) updated to 7.0.25.0. UOFiddler finds only gump.def (UO Folder only have gump.def & gumpartLegacyMUL.uop)
Any ideas?
Thanks
List of Files?
Re: List of Files?
There are four places images displayed in the game can be found. First are the gump related files. Second are the art related files. Third are the animation related files. Fourth are the texture related files. There are several files in each group that are used in displaying images so you can't just take one file and extract an image from it because the other files are used to index into the main image file to a specific graphic image. However, UO Fiddler should allow you to look through the various groups to find and export a specific image.
Now to answer your specific question about which file(s) contain the log-in screen images, that would be the gumpart files.
The gumpart files contain the various "controls" and their related buttons such as the paper doll control. Also, the log-in screens, ie. username and password, shard selection, character creation and starting location screens. Also the images that get overlaid on the paper doll for weapons, clothing, armour and even the "naked" character are contained in the gumpart files.
Art files contain the graphics that are displayed in the game window like the trees, rocks, furniture, ingots and the smaller representations of equippable things like clothes and armour.
Texture files contain the terrain graphics such as grass, dirt and mountains. These are special in graphics in that they will conform to the shape of the terrain upon which they are mapped. Unlike the art tiles which are flat.
Animation files are a collection of every possible way every thing and creature can move based on the eight facing positions supported by UO.
Note that I am not in anyway an expert on the internal workings of Ultima Online's graphics engine nor do I know the structure of the various files. So understand that I could have made some inaccurate statements. I am reasonably certain I haven't but I have been wrong before.
Also, I didn't mention a couple other files that contain image data such as the fonts files.
If you are having trouble getting UO Fiddler to display graphics make sure it is directed to your UO directory. If all else fails post the problem in the Hosted Projects-->UO Fiddler forum.

Re: List of Files?
Clients 7.0.24.0 and later have a different file structure and different file formats, making them incompatible with UOFiddler.
The login screen is a gump.
If you want to use UOFiddler, you need a client prior to 7.0.24.0.
