Editing Login Screen Layout in Non-Flash CO Client

[xir0]

Does anyone know how to edit the login screen in the non-Flash Conquer Online clients?

I see the login assets are in `./data/interface/login`, but not sure how to do things like controlling what displays, changing button/input locations, or adding new buttons with custom links.

If there are already discussion threads on this, I’d appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

You can focus on these files:
1. ini/GUI.ini、ini/GUI800x600.ini
2. ani/Control.ani、ani/Control1.ani

Then find the relevant UI design configurations and try making some modifications.

Should be the same as modifying any other interface in the game now. It should be all DirectX.

Optionally, I'd love it if someone open sourced a new login screen that replaces the flash one for flash-based clients.

I actually have some ideas and have successfully done some things, but now it has encountered problems that are difficult to solve.
I don't know if you're interested。

From what I remember, the old login layout was one of the rare GUI to be solely based on the MFC resources + code to position elements (i.e. it checks whether it is in 1024x768 and if so, move some elements).

Thank you for all the responses!

Now I’m trying to locate the relevant IDs for the login screen elements in GUI.ini. Is there a method for finding these?

This awesome post by Spirited helped me locate the GUI ids for the main game interface: https://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/co2-weapon-armor-effects-interface-edits/2847895-guide-edit-clients-gui-button-locations.html Now, I’m wondering if there’s a similar approach for the login screen.

Or is my only real option to test each ID by trial and error and potentially translating the Chinese notes in GUI.ini to figure out which ones are related to the login?

You can try to edit the MFC resources directly in Resources Hacker. You won’t find them in GUI.ini

Just to confirm, when you say to edit the MFC resources directly in Resource Hacker, would this be on the Conquer.exe file, or is there a separate DLL?
