Custom Login Screens.

With all this talk of the upcoming new CoH Freedom login splash I figured I'd share with you the login screens I've been using for the last few months. These ones are custom made by my own tireless hands.

If any one else has custom login screens, share 'em cause I'd like to see 'em.

THAT is what should be the official ones, frankly. Not the 'meh' they've decided is fitting for Freedom. Nicely done.

Those are Paragon's work. The full image is the current background on the main site. I just nabbed it and worked from there.

I agree. I've always really liked the clouds, in particular, in those images- very atmospheric. I suspect we'll lose them from this site when the franchise officially gets "renamed" City of Heroes Freedom (a horrible use of rebranding if ever there was one), which will be a shame.

I know man.
I meant, you got the coolest ones, theres some 3D screens not very good looking but you did the Login screens with my favourites of red and blue side.
Thing is, Primals will get a common login screen I bet.

I don't have any to share.. I just use the GR one.
Nice work Ominous!

As was said in Gran Torino, "Your world is nothing more than all the tiny things you've left behind", let CoH be one of those things. Don't forget, forgive.

How do you change your log in screen?? I hate the ancient ones we have now. I'd love to use almost anything else!

This.

The more I see the new 'official' log in screen the more I think it does nothing to sell the incredible diversity and customisation options of the game.* As dated as the original CoH screen is, you can at least get a feel for how many options are available for creating cool characters.




*It may also be to do with how those damn robots remind me of how soul crushing the endgame is.

Honestly, I do not know. My comp came with it like that.

Once again, I really don't know if it violates something or not My comp came with CoH and that log in installed direct from the manufacturer....

There was a COH switcher or splasher program that could be used to swap out the login screens....I don't think it has been maintained over the years, possibly issues with either the .net framework, windows aero (in vista), or something else that would break it.

CoHSplasher still works fine on XP.

If anyone wants their own custom login, or even the ones I've posted, I'll be happy to help in that regard. Just hit me up with a pm and we'll arrange something. Bare in mind that if a redname tells me to stop, then I'll stop. No sense in getting in trouble over it.

The images are pretty much just DDS .texture files with a custom file header IIUC; there are free tools from nvidia (amongst others) that will allow you to open/save the format.
