Loginscreen mod [7.3.5]

[mige]

Hey

Looking for mod that would change legion 7.3.5 loginscreen with: wod login screen, logo & music.

Found this which is close to what I want, but links are dead: https://www.ownedcore.com/forums/wor...rough-wod.html ([7.X] Login Screens for Legion. Vanilla through WoD)

Disable GlueXML check then you can change the Constants.lua, you can change to any login screen. but this method you will not able to use addon.
Or you use CASCHost

Just a moment...

To disable GlueXML signature check, make the following changes in Wow-64.exe using your favorite hex editor:

at 1B7A8E:

replace A6 with A7

at 86D522:

replace DB with DC

hmm.. any way that would also work with addons?

1) reverse engineering the exe requires a lot effort, that is what we can get so far, but you are welcome to dig into it further.
you can use the dumpwow from namereeb on github, open it by IDA and rebase it, go to offset 86E0D0, and see if you are able to modify it to load the addon files.
because the exe is obfuscated, you will most likely have to write a launcher to suspend the wowprocess and then read/modify the memory right after it starts.


2) the easier way is to go with the CASC method, using CASCHost or TACTAdder, you can find them from GitHub. or follow the link I posted below.
but it required some patience to do if you don't have the CDN files ready.
for details, you can follow this guide to obtain the CDN files, but tbh I'm not sure whether all those links are still valid.
Just a moment...
then you follow the link below that post to apply custom files.


if you get any of the two method solved, you can modify the Constants.lua inside gluexml folder, to any earlier loginscreen. i believe you will know how to write it once you extract that file by casc explorer.

Once you have your custom files added to your client, you don't need those anymore. you can open your client as normal.
