Client: Login Screen Advertisements

[Spirited]

Introduction

In the first Conquer 2.0 client, TQ added the ability to render text on the login screen from a hosted text file. This feature was added with the release of Conquer 2.0 to advertise other games such as Zero Online. It was removed with the New Dynasty expansion client (patch 5032). If your server runs on an older patch, however, then you can configure the client to hit your own hosted text file. Advertisements can be set separately for different servers, and have different colors, fonts, positions on screen, etc.

Steps

1. Open ini/common.ini in the client's directory.
   
2. [* ]Find the ServerAdv sections near the bottom of the file and redefine the URLs.
   
3. Use the format below for your hosted text file of advertisements.
   

Examples

Below is an example of an formatted advertisement. Optionally, you can download the original files (attached).

This is interesting, sadly they removed it on later versions to add it again on high patches with a horrible login screen.
