[TUTORIAL]How to create a Loginscreen with Lua & XML editing

[Mordred]

@ detonatorss: wat.

@ lordshark:
first - it could be the ambience music. which is set in the vx_vars_init.lua file in the ShowScene function
then - add a camera

UPDATE:
Loginscreen 3.0 video
the loginscreen not included -> it maybe will get released as a shell for loginscreens after the expansion for chaotic united hit release.
- main post updated

...I want this. ^^
Also, perhaps you didn't notice my question so I'll try to ask it again, as I actually see you've added this in 3.0...

How did you enable the patch / revision number in the bottom left? ^^

Other than that, I can't wait on 3.0 to get released! Is there any ETA on when this expansion will come out (and thus with that, the question is simply; when will you most likely release the new log-in screen? ^^).

Great work, I really love the improvement between 2.0! You should be proud!

hey i have a little Question again.

How i can insert the Alert Box again in this tutorial file at the Loginscreen?

This is just what I was looking for. no more no less

Thanks a lot Mordred. I really enjoyed it and thanks again for updating your own login screen. I learned a lot of things through seeing that.

Hey , i've been using [TUTORIAL]How to create a Loginscreen with Lua & XML editing
for making a Custom Login ...

Here's what I got:

[Milly]

For some reason whenever I click "Enter World" the loading screen disappears and I get this:

         "World of Warcraft
         Your game interface files are corrupted. Please remove your InterfaceFrameXML folder."

(this is using the .exe that Mordred provided, and I don't even have a FrameXML folder)

In an attempt to solve this issue, I tried using the Heroes WoW client. It works, but I get this:

         "Blizzard_TimeManager has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon
         and reload the UI."

Does anyone have a solution to either of these problems?

First one means you broke the XML structure to the point that initiation fails (most likely).

Even when downloading Mordred's sample Login Screen (The Scarlet One), I still get the same exact error. And I've been getting this error ever since I started the project. Both in early development, and up until now.

Er, nevermind. I just found a solution as I was typing this. Something was wrong with my WoW folder, so I tried using another one I had laying around. That one works fine so I must have screwed something up.

You most likely deleted your interface folder, and thus the Blizzard AddOn data.

Yup you were right. Thanks for pointing that out though =) Also, here's the result of several hours of tinkering:

Looks good. Have a nice mood.
But perhaps add some light effects.
