The standard UO client has a limited number of IDs for art, gumps, animations, etc.

Does Iris have these same limitations, or can you have an unlimited number of art/gumps/animations?

Also, the UO client has chair ID's hard coded and they can't be changed. I was wondering if Iris allowed sitable items to be specified so that any art ID can be used as a chair.

Thanks,

HellRazor

Currently we do not play the sit animations when a char is standing on a chair.

But both should be both possible. :-)

Thanks SiENcE, that would be a nice addition to Iris.

How about the Art, Gump, Anim ID limits?

Iris2 has no Limits or you can adjust it. Hey it's opensource :-).

But i currently don't know the limits of the uo-fileformats.

the art-id limitation is partially serverside, since a certain id-range is reserved for custom-houses.
also the artids itself are limited to 16 bit from the network protocol (could be changed, but tricky, requires server and client adjustment)
another problem is that mapping tools for uo are also limited, but there isn't much we can do about that part.

one relatively easy workaround to get more graphics would be to
designate one or a few special artids to use hues as secondary id. it also requires a few changes to iris, but no change to the network protocol / fileformats or anything deep like that.

to clarify what i mean :
Let's say you pick artid 0x1234 and 0x1235 as special.
then you make one folder inside the iris data dir for each of those.
in each folder you can put additional graphics, directly as .png or .jpg without the need to use an uo file editor.
Hue-ids are 16 bit, so you can have up to 65k additional graphics per special artid, so 130k additional graphics for 2 special artids.
The drawback is that you cannot hue them dynamically then, but that should be plenty of artids for your art-needs.

Do you know what the highest art ID that can be used is?

Thanks for all the information, I am really looking for a way to have a lot more art in the client.

There are a lot of free static Art slots.

Use mulpatcher to display thoose.

Empty ArtID list from uo:ml:

9103 should be enough or?, even if you can't use all :-)

But why can't static art IDs be independent from multi IDs, at least in a custom client? Since multis and art are in separate files I'm not sure why Iris should be limited to max 16383.

Thats because of UO. The server sends the multiID as artid and that because a multi is a special art tile, consisting of of many art tiles.

But if both the server and the client are custom, wouldn't it be possible to work around that?
