Random Animated Login Screens

Projects | 2017 Links: Source

A 3.3.5a WoW client modification by StygianTheBest.

Description

This is my collection of five animated login screens with custom music. A random screen will be chosen each time you launch the game client.

Random Animated Login Screens

Features

• Five animated login screens with music that are chosen at random.
  • Dead King’s Crypt
  • The Tauren Chieftains
  • Battle at the Dark Portal
  • Arcadia
  • Algalon the Observer
• You can adjust how often a specific screen appears by editing the random value range. I currenly have Dead King’s Crypt loading 60% of the time because it’s my favorite. If you want one screen to show every time, just set the rand = X where X is a number in the range of the screen you want in x_vars_init.

Trivia

These were created manually because the Mordred tool wasn’t compatible with my other login screen modifications, and I wasn’t interested in trying to make it compatible at the time. For some reason, no matter what I did, the bassist in the Tauren Chieftains would not position correctly, so I added a crate to the scene to make it appear like he had his foot on it. \m/

Files

• WoWCustomExe.zip
  • A modified client binary required for use of files not stored in .MPQ archives
• Interface files
  • These are the files that are normally in an .MPQ archive.

Installation

• Copy the Interface folder into your game client folder
• Unzip and use the modified Wow.exe to launch the game.
• You will need to adjust the IP Address to your private server in the LoginUI.lua file.
• The visual FX objects are mapped based on screen resolution, so they may need to be tweaked. This can be done by editing X,Y,Z,O coordinates for each object in x_vars_init.lua. I have included a sample file for 1024x768 resolution as well.
