Custom Login Screens.

I did another one for Freedom. Since there's only the one screen regardless of uiskin setting, I made sure it represented all 3 'sides'.

Okay...

THAT is full of win.

Too much win in fact...

That seriously needs to be the official login screen image or at least something along those lines. Maybe with them all in the same art style.. but I think you nailed it. You should definitely PM this to a community rep. This needs to be Freedom's login screen image.

Fantastic!

Re: that most recent Login UI image... if ONLY it could be done so States was back to back with LR and Tyrant was a bit bigger and sorta looming over the two in the foreground. I think THAT would better encapsulate what is going on in-game at present. However, one only has access to so many source images of the characters in question, and one must work with what ya have available.

Speaking of which, I don't remember what the images of LR and some of the other characters looked like in the "Fan Site Kit" that one can download from the CoH website.

I would refer you for examples to Corva's and Vanden's Icon Packs, and the various Vidiot Maps. All of which operate on a similar principle. Also there is a thread somewhere on how to silence certain in-game SFX, which also works through the same process.

Those screens are so much better than the current ones and new Freedom one. I'd totally switch to those in a heart beat if given the choice.

Not bad, but i still would like to see one with all the girls

oh..my..almightly...lord...do want..how to get...arghhhh me wanttttttttttttt lol

Love it.

Is it just me, or does Statesman's costume look "tired" next to Emperor Cole's? I can't believe Serge hasn't stepped in to fix that.

Nice one OminousVoice.

This has been my login for the last few months...

Yes essentially. Having the map pack or a custom login screen or modified icons only takes place locally on your pc and does not in any way touch the actual game files or affect the server so it's not something you'd get in trouble for. Open discussion of how it's done is decidedly frowned upon though as I understand it.

I will settle this. ORANGE FTW! - Ex Libris

So here's a version I made for FREEMM...er Freedom.

There are some seriously quality screens in here.

It is better to teach people change than be willing to do for them? Why suppress information of the users?

I like that one

Aye the new ladies of cox are looking awesomeeee

Hum... ok!!

If people want that login screen i can host the file somewhere like fileshare or filesonic for people to download, then when freedom goes live you can put it there, or use it for beta server

Here is the filesonic link to the file. I forgot a readme so here is the readme

These kinds of files are nothing more then a graphic file in the same format that City of games uses in the game. They have a .texture extension and must be placed in a specific over-ride directory structure. This directory structure has been included in the zip and it's a long one. Just unzip inside your city of heroes game directory and it will create a data directory and all other sub directories for you.

This will probably not affect your current game as it's using a hybrid UI subdirectory. It is intended for either the beta server or when CoHFreedom goes live. No files are actually changed on your computer and to remove you simply delete the directory tree that was created when you unzipped the file. Simple as that.

the above link will probably only last 30 days or so, so grab it while you can.

Thanks

Did you have one where they were frenching each other too?

Hmmm. Old version, I suppose - still have the bars on the side (Need to fix that. Not quite sure just how.) Trimmed so it wouldn't look "spaghetti-western-ish."



Have to make sure it works on freem, as well.
