PNG-Replacer

PNG Replacer

Section titled “PNG Replacer”

This feature is targeting server owners/staff but may be useful to certain advanced players as-well.

Description

Section titled “Description”

This feature gives you the ability to use png (and bmp) files to replace specific gump and item art graphics, without the need for mul/uop patchers.

How do I use this?

Section titled “How do I use this?”

You will need to create a few directories in your TazUO folder:

/ExternalImages/
/ExternalImages/gumps/
/ExternalImages/art/
  1. Now find the gump or art id you would like to replace, lets say gump id 83
  2. Create your art and save it under /gumps/ like this: ExternalImages/gumps/83.png
    ℹ️ file extension must be lower case
  3. Restart your client and open the gump that uses that art, it will be replaced with your png file!

File naming and formats

Section titled “File naming and formats”
  • Formats: .png and .bmp (24-bit and 32-bit BMP) are both supported.
  • Filenames: either decimal (83.png) or hex (0x53.png) graphic IDs are accepted.
  • Subfolders: images are found recursively, so you can organize files into subfolders under gumps/ or art/ instead of keeping everything in one flat folder.
  • A missing or unreadable image (bad format, corrupt file, etc.) is skipped with a logged error instead of crashing the client.
