Title: Outland Sky animation as Log Screen?
Post by: nicolalol on June 24, 2016, 01:57:25 pm

Hey there, i am crap with wow modelling but i found a lot of tutorials to change wow login screen animation ( on 3.3.5a ). Sadly no one has a way to change with a gif file. I'd like to do it because i intend to swap the normal login screen to outland sky animations. I can make a video of sky animations with fraps and then convert it into a super big hd gif, but i don't know how to put it in the wow.exe, can some of you help me?

I'm fairly sure you can't use an animated GIF for this - client doesn't support them.  However, Outland skyboxes are models, and models can be used very effectively to make login scenes.  Since I'm a big fan of Outland, I'll see if I can whip something up for you.  It will require an MPQ patch to the Glues folder, but nothing more.  Did you have a particular sky in mind?  The Hellfire one with the moons and swirly stuff or the purplish Netherstorm look?

If you get it working a short tutorial would be nice :)

If you can find the model for it, you might be able to swap it out following my tutorial. Can't really say if it'll work though.
