[RELEASE] Easy Loginscreen

[phantomx]

Update:
-Added a section on how to change the buttons.
-Made my own loginscreen which I used to try some stuff with scenescripts.

You can see a video about it here:

Some facts:
The rain and music are on their own sound-channels, ambience and music.
The thunder and lightning are randomly created
The Scenescript part of this loginscreen has more lines than the code for the actual loginscreen.

And also the creation process:
Creation Album

And the last thing, of course, the download:

Great work as always, the atmosphere of the LoginScreen is spot on I really don't have words to express how lovely it is.

Huh, interesting,

I'll have to figure out how all of this works and create a nice login screen at some point. Thanks for the release.

I got a question if I may... Is it possible to add .BLPs to the Login Screen? I mean, it would be great, but I have no idea how.

Yes, e.g:

Code: [Select]

<Texture name="AccountLoginLogo" file="InterfaceGluesCommonGlues-WoW-WotLKLogo" hidden="true">
<Size>
<AbsDimension x="256" y="128"/>
</Size>
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT">
<Offset>
<AbsDimension x="3" y="-7"/>
</Offset>
</Anchor>
</Anchors>
</Texture>
Can be done in Lua too. See: http://www.wowwiki.com/XML/Texture

Good friends I'm with a problem I created a custom screen, but when I change the game resolution animation I put in her place changes see:


Can anyone tell me how I fix this?

But yet there's no chance to reduce the opacity of a texture element, right?

You can do it with Lua, I used it too a lot:

Code: [Select]

LoginscreenLightHit = LoginScene:CreateTexture(nil,"OVERLAY")
LoginscreenLightHit:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", LoginScene, "TOPRIGHT", 0, 125)
LoginscreenLightHit:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", LoginScene, "BOTTOMLEFT", -1, -125)
LoginscreenLightHit:SetAlpha(0.2)
LoginscreenLightHit:SetTexture("Interface/Loginscreen/LightHit.blp")
LoginscreenLightHit:SetBlendMode("ADD")
and "AccountLogin:CreateTexture(nil,"LOW")" instead LoginScene as parent if you want it to be on top of all models.

And yes. you can even set a blend mode.
I used that file to make the light that hits the floor when the room is dark, and when lightning strikes happen.

Thanks for the tips, it's fascinating how easily you can learn just by messing around with others scripts.

Yet I think it's still impossible to realize what I want.
I wanted to add an image with a render, let me show the image:



But looks like it will display a huge green box if anything in the image is transparent.

And yes, I converted it right, from PNG to BLP.

Uhm..... Nevermind....

Oh man, this work on Cataclysm too, awesome !

It's the same things to do, remove/edit some shit in AccountLogin.xml and AccountLogin.lua


Awesome

Sorry for the potatoe quality, i choose a random compression.
Anyway, this work on Cataclysm, this loginscreen is ugly as fuck but it's just a test for the moment

Hi,

Someone can help me ?

All you need to do is add a new row to the sceneData table:

Code: [Select]

sceneData = {
{10,"Interface/GLUES/LOADINGSCREENS/LoadScreenDeathKnight.blp"},
{scene_duration,"path/to/the/.blp/file"}
},for example.

you just have to add the file to an existing mpq, or make it somehow else available for wow to load.

Im trying to add a inherits to have my own custom button to connect, quit, ... but that dont works

if nothing appears in wow make sure you actually inherit from the new one.
(pay attention to naming and not overwriting existing names)

also if use mpqs, make sure your latest files are loaded last.

Ok thank for your answer!

I have understand how it work for at 45% , Here my first try ; Thanks again for this tool!
