Exporting Ultima 7 Art / Ultima in Flash

Post by Doug »

Is there a way to export the art from Ultima (either using Exult Studio, or other means) to capture all frames of an animated object? I've been playing with the idea of creating an Ultima like interface for my website using Flash.

Had anyone tried to develop an Ultima like interface in Flash? I recently saw a website that gave me the idea (http://www.taobot.com/) and I thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks

Doug

Exult_studio lets you export one frame at a time. You can also use expack with splitshp and shp2pcx to get all the frames (but you'll have to read up on how to use them). And you can use ipack with a script to get all the frames.

That's probably more than you wanted to know:-)

With the SHP plugin and the GIMP, it loads each shape in a separate layer. You can then tell the GIMP to save as an animated GIF, et voilà
