Improved Spell Book Gump

[Nalif]

I spent a few hours making this today in 3D. Unfortunately, I have no experience in LUA or making addons or anything. Not only that, I don't even have an active subscription - So who can help me get this in-game? I can change the colors easily and I can get this to you in just about any format you'd need. Just tell me the dimensions ( or better yet, give me the exact graphic for the original so I can match it up ) and the format This was just a quick mock-up of a mage's spellbook.

In my UI I use the 2D spellbook gump. The background change based on the spellbook type so only this is not enough, but is a good start

You can know the right size by looking the 2d gump in inside uo
If you keep the proportion of the 2d ones I can quickly replace them with yours

EDIT: I forget the inside uo ids:

mage spellbook: 8ab
necro: 2b00
paladin: 2b01
ninjitsu: 2b06
bushido: 2b07
bard: 2b29
mysticism: 2b32
spellweaving: 2b2f

good luck

Here's the spellweaving book and ninjitsu.

I notice that the resolution for the 2D spell books are 406x229 or something like that; is it possible to use a higher-res graphic so that it won't look blurry in the EC?

EDIT: Done a little more work

Very nice graphics!

Might I suggest the symbol of the Codex for the watermark in the magery spellbook?

the size must be the same, and it wont be pixelled thanks to the antialiasing

However, the background must be transparent or the black will be visible

Keep going with the good work

Bummer...I was hoping I'd be able to use higher-res images so they wouldn't be blurry Making the background transparent won't be an issue. What format should I give these to you in? Tiff? PNG?

Here's Chivalry.

DDS is the file type used in UO.

Hmm...I'm using photoshop x64. After researching this, the nVidia plugin that's made for photoshop doesn't work with x64. Is that what you guys are using, or is there perhaps another alternative I can use? I don't have photoshop x86 installed, and I'm not going to install it just to use one plugin

I use Gimp with the plugin... mainly because it's free. Haven't had an issue with it, works fine in Win 7 64 bit

That did the trick! Thanks! I re-subbed and I'm in the middle of trying to figure out how to put the graphics into Pinco's UI...I took a look at the .dds files in his skin and can't seem to find the files for the legacy books....any idea?

send me a spellbook image so I can make a temporary change to the spellbook script for tests
