New User Walkthrough - Page 7: Login Scene

Login Scene

This is an optional step. You can skip it and continue on if you wish.
If you plan on using Ogre login, or Ogre autologin, then you need a login screen (called Loginscene), that supports it. It needs to display: Username, password, charactername, and servername. It must also BLANK itself out every time it loads.
To assist with this, a modified loginscene is downloaded for you, but you must choose to use it.
In the directory /scripts/EQ2OgreCommon/ you will notice the file "eq2ui_loginscene.xml".
To use this file: save this file into your Everquest 2 UI folder. For example:
- /EverQuest II/UI/ProfitUI/
- If you are using the default UI, save this file into:
- /EverQuest II/UI/Default/
- NOTE: When using the default UI, every time you run Sony's patcher, it will replace this file, and you'll have to copy it again.
- TIP Not sure which folder you use? In your /EverQuest II/ folder, edit the file eq2.ini (it may be called eq2_recent.ini). Find the line that looks like this: cl_ui_subdir UI/ and find this line: cl_ui_skinname test.
  - In this example, my path is: /EverQuest II/UI/test/ so I would save the file there.
- Note If you use ProfitUI, every time you update it may overwrite this file. If this happens ask in IRC #Ogre for help. I personally don't use profit, but others do.
