So yeah, i Tweaked the launchers look in Photoshop to what i thought it should be, haven't done it anything to the actual one. but i think it looks better in this view, used my creative imagination to actually look at what i think it should be from my view, was Photoshopping and thought of this, when someone actually brought it up, reused bits and pieces from the game, aswell as added stuff onto the visual perspective :3

Though it looks better than it does atm.

Yeah a server time box to show what time is it. i hope they take a look at this and consider this kind of look though

Though the Episode Box was to show which Episode RO2 is on. XP

I love the episode box idea :D and they should maybe also change the launcher every time a new huge content is released, so it doesn't look too dated!

I agree 100%. They should also change the loading screens occasionally. If they can't get the time to design new ones themselves, well, they can always use the ones players develop. :p_laugh:

Tera does that. All concept art that is created by the community gets cycled in and out of the loading screens. Its nice to look at. Tho tera load a hell of a lot faster then this game LOL.

This looks pretty cool, but I think the twitter and facebook icons are outdated. I think Twitter's official logo the bird is now tilted up. The gravity logo looks a bit stretched as well and it's conflicting with the right edge~ And the patching at the bottom right it's a tad difficult to read! other than that I think its nice. From what I remember, iRO changed their patcher from time to time... it be nice if they did the same here.

Errr,...If you are going to edit the launcher it;s best just do a complete make-over, rather than "Tweak" it.

Question, I tried doing this myself but when I place the new bg.bmp file in the Patcher folder, it just reverts to the old one once I launch the game. Any idea how to get around this? I might need to dig around how to open .tbl files x_x

It seems that every time you run the launcher, it checks if the bg.bmp file is the last one from WP or something, probably using a hash function. I tried marking the file as read-only, but then the launcher crashed because it wasn't able to write on it. It may be a way to prevent it from checking that.

Ah I see, yeah that makes a lot of sense.

 

Thank you!

 

Boo, all this work for nothing ;_; wanted to make one to match my UI

Well, I was right. The launcher writes a file called MD5FileList and deletes it after using it, and the image for the launcher is listed there, obviosuly.

Looks awesome. XD

 

Honestly, yeah, we need something new. I think it might require changing some coding somewhere (just assuming) before it would actually work, and I doubt they'd allow it. You could try asking GMs HOW to change this properly (and make it stick). Chances are, it would change back to the usual every patch (and you'd have to change it again), but at least you'd be able to temporarily have this as your Patcher/Launcher appearance.
