Don't forget that you need a special wow.exe before you do anything with the xml files.

Yes you need a modified wow.exe because the original one has gluexml check in it and if you modify anything in the gluexml file you get an error.

Post by: Mossan on March 04, 2014, 07:58:57 pm: Yes i know and i have it now.. :D But i have problem with adding object into the screen.
Title: Re: [QUESTION] Login screen animation.
Post by: Dottore on March 04, 2014, 08:01:20 pm: Use this little tool just place it in the folder where gluexml and other files are located and launch the game.
You also need the path of the model you want to add.
You can find the tool here: http://depositfiles.com/files/x085iqjpw

Post by: stoneharry on March 05, 2014, 01:34:41 am: GlueXML folder contains the vast majority of game code for before you get in game (interface, display, logic flow, etc).

GlueXML modifications will not be accepted without a modified WoW binary (you will get told your files are corrupt without the necessary modification as the integrity check fails).

All models in WoW 3.3.5a and below are M2's. a M2 file has a documented strict structure that has support for many things, such as lights, animation, textures, bones, and so on.

The account login page is rendered through Lua and XML code in the GlueXML files. The background is several M2 files which are rendered as models.

You can define and render more models which is explained in Mordred's code. The correct way would be to make a new M2 from scratch, but this is not really feasible due to the difficulty in producing a working M2 how you want with animation. We lack any good tools nor automation.

That's the general overall process, resources have already been linked to. The best way to learn is to try it and experiment, see what happens.
