like the paperdoll engine: we already have a SQL+PHP paperdoll working engine on sphere and we can write some info about items on the database (ID, name, durability, hue, ...). We can read all this thing and generate the paperdoll (gump) but we just don't know the trick to read items from tiledata instead gumps

but something I really like on this server is the world map, it show the entire server map on server page
http://www.uorenaissance.com/map
I have no idea how this works, probably UOAM server export many different img files on many zoom levels, and Google Maps API read all these imgs to generate the working map (because that's how Google Maps API works)

Actually there is no trick to read item art, the same way you can read the gump you can read the item; of course the file format is different but a look at UltimaSDK or any other UO dev kit/custom client will reveal how to read the file correctly

The map isn't that hard too, they generate a map image, then read the multi radarcol files to create houses radar view, save the image to a transparent layer and merge them using a javascript web application, HTML5 or whatever.

Yeah, this is a heavy coding but you have both UltimaSDK and PHP paperdoll in hands which combined may allow you to display the item/map by your own

The guys from uo.cx created a web API that is capable of displaying Clilocs, Gumps, Item art, Item data, Multis and Texture on your web site
