You're correct Vendolis, although it's not reverse engineering. I was just swapping out bitmaps within in the exe file. It does protect people against malicious modifications to the LaunchPAD though. I did find it interesting that the LaunchPAD is also used for StarWars Galaxies and the two bitmaps stored in the file for those are much prettier then the generic SOE logo EQ2 gets!
Laffs, it wasn't all in vien. My change to the EQ2.exe file remains in place! I'll have a nice brief shot of my time before the LaunchPAD opens up. I find it pretty funny that they use a generic LaunchPAD for all of their games and just have it load up the skin for each game.
