This tutorial explans how to create your own login screen for City of Heroes that will override the image supplied by the server.
Software Needed:
- Perl - I would recommend downloading the latest version from Strawberry Perl
- Texture_converter tool
- Your favourite image manipulation software
Steps:
- Install Perl
- Extract the texture tool zip file to a suitable directory i.e.
C:\texture_converter
- Create an image file of any major type (jpg, bmp, png, dds).
The image MUST be 1024 pixels by 1024 pixels, but only 1024 by 768 is displayed. - Save image in the
texture_converter\texture_sources\GUI\CREATION\HybridUI\LoginScreen
directory namedCOH_LogInScreen_Background.png
(or whatever file type) - In the same directory create a file called
textinfo.txt
which has the following contents:COH_LogInScreen_Background.png -rbg -nomips 1024x768
- Run the texture_converter.pl script
C:\> perl texture_converter.pl
- If you get an error similar to "sleep(2147450879) too large at texture_converter.pl line 13." that's okay.
- Browse to
texture_converter\texture_library\GUI\CREATION\HybridUI\LoginScreen
and yourCOH_LogInScreen_Background.texture
file should be there - Create the library tree in your client executable folder
\data\texture_library\GUI\CREATION\HybridUI\LoginScreen\
and paste the texture file there. - Launch your client to see your screen!
