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

[Milly]

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

Oh I did but you won't be able to notice them if you're not watching in fullscreen HD. I used the same light model that Mordred used for his Scarlet Crusade Login which pretty much pulses in/out. It's a bit difficult to see it moving, but it's the reason why it's so bright. And I also used a "wailingwinds" creature to emulate "God Rays".

Ok will have a second look But its cool if the effects are only smale. Dont make it so cheesy;)

Its Being Annoying To Me, There is a blue and white box on the bottom left hand corner of my screen

please read the thread before adding a question, I already answered that:


if it's white, it has no texture,
if it's a blue-white checkered box, it has a wrong pathname.

i did Read before Posting, and i have added No models to the login screen, i used your one from the logintut and the changed the Background, thats all i have done

[Mordred]

well then there is one model,
it's the template for more models in which you can add your own path

so just look at the vx_vars_init.lua and put everything in the ModelOptions() function into a comment:
--[[
]]

and in your PlayBackgroundModels() funtion the Mod1:SetModel("path\filename.m2"); into a comment:
--

then there is no wrong path model on your loginscreen.

[40thzombie]

Sorry im not the best at editing, if you could show me an example that would be great

[Steff]

OK try to explain text

so just look at the vx_vars_init.lua and put everything in the ModelOptions() function into a comment:
--[[
]]

and in your PlayBackgroundModels() funtion the Mod1:SetModel("path\filename.m2"); into a comment:
--------------------

>> Open the file x_vars_init.lua
>> Search ModelOptions() function
>> put all content inside the function in quote Start with --[[ end with ]]
>> Search PlayBackgroundModels() funtion
>> Search Mod1:SetModel("path\filename.m2");  and also quote into
--[[ Mod1:SetModel("path\filename.m2");  ]]

If you don´t understand now you MUST read some lua basics. The main syntax should be known.

Is it possible a model doesn't appear because it is reskinned and came from Mop ^^' ? (a converted model obviously)

[Mordred]

it should at least appear, but if it has any textures...

like I said before, you pretty much have to test all sorts of position variations to get it even on screen

[hyakkimaru]

Now to set the model you have to start your WoWModelViewer and find a model with only 1 skin (else they are white)
then enter your full path of the model into the 2nd last line with double \ and .m2 at the end

If the model has more than 1 skin, there's no solution ?

Hardcode the texture into the model - duplicate the model and repeat.

[hyakkimaru]

Duplication is not a problem, the real problem is my memory... x)

I don't remember how to hardcode a texture ^^'
