Why won't the login screen work?

[Tompilot]

Okey finally I got the models editings to work I needed to press F8.. and I got in but the login screens won't load that I put in the data folder. I got an wotlk login but it won't load for some reason I have tried others but still not... I have pressed F8 but I don't get any new login screen and I got patch 2.3.3 and MEF 2.3.3 and I got wowemuhacker .2.3.3 any reason why it won't load?

Make sure the name of the patch is patch-3.mpq to patch-9.mpq, that should work, besides, you don't need a MEF for the login screen =)

[Tompilot]

It still doesn't work Do I need to reinstall the game or something?

[Parog]

When you say it wont load, what exactly happens, does it give you an error? Give me as many details as you can.

and tell me what's in your Data folder right now.

Okey This is in my datafolder: EnGB ,common,expansion,patch,patch2,patch5,patch6. and the patch 5 is the login screen but it won't load then I mean it won't change backround it's still the boring tbc login and it doesn't give any errors. Before it worked until I got MEF.2.3.3 and the MEF is working with other changes like mount swap worked when I had a epic tiger and changed it to an amani bear and I wonna have the wotlk login that one gideo made but it's just so odd that it won't change login screen And yes I have tried with other login screens but still not work

[Parog]

is it named Patch5 or Patch-5.mpq ? Also try playing with the P, making it Uppercase or Lowercase sometimes fixes it.

Patch-5
patch-5 ( try both )

Edit: and i come back in game to see that i've been ganked by level 5 mobs >< rofl

[Tompilot]

It's patch-5.mpq but what did you mean with this? Also try playing with the P, making it Uppercase or Lowercase sometimes fixes it. btw I got an readme.txt for the MEF and it says this to: The new version allows you to load any file you like. To do so enter the name in wowme.cfg (eg: orctonightelf.mpq).
The file needs to be in Data/ what does that mean?

[Tompilot]

I may know the problem... Do I need too write something in the wowme.cfg? I got gideons wotlk login screen so what shall I write in it? Please answer

[Darkelfin]

i had this problem just rename the .mpq files extension from .mpq to .MPQ so they are caps and it should work fine then

[Varoze]

In the wowme.cfg, you'll have to write the name of the MPQ files you're going to use (in this case: patch-5.mpq). It has to be an exact match, with capital letters just like the MPQ file.
This should solve your problem
(I hope:P)
