Default How do I change splash logos

How do I change the splash logos on startup? I would love to have some of my own stuff pop up, even if just for a moment.


Also, a big thanks!! This is the site I visit the most re: EQ2! More than the SOE forums and others! You have made my gameplay much more enjoyable. I feel like it is MY GAME now. I have no clue on how you guys do it, I will just sit back and enjoy the fruits of you r labor!


Thanks again, great work all!

Thanks should go to SoE too... If they didn't make the game customizable we would not have this community and all of the mods that live and thrive here. And a big thanks should also to got SOE_Bobble with out his helpfull hints every once in a while, we would be taking alot longer and working alot harder to try and figure some of this stuff out. And of course Dolby for hosting the site, and Dolby and Insomniac for Moderating our Rantings here.


The Splash Logo's are stored in a ".dds" file in your Defaut UI folder. Don't remember the exact name of the file off the top of my head. If you had softwre that could open and manipulate the .dds format I suppose you could change the Logo's, but be careful back up the file before you go and modify it. It could very well be hard coded to look for a specific CRC Value on that file, and may be hard coded to look for the exact size and dimensions of the logo's that are currently there.

Have not read on how to change them up yet. Thanks for pointing me in right direction.
In the SOE file there are alot of weird login screens..........
