New page

<big>'''New User Walkthrough - Page 6: Login Scene'''</big>
----

* This is an optional step. You can skip it and continue on if you wish.
* If you plan on using Ogre login, or Ogre autologin, then you need a login screen (called Loginscene), that supports it. It needs to display: Username, password, charactername, and servername. It must also BLANK itself out every time it loads.
* To assist with this, a modified loginscene is downloaded for you, but you must choose to use it.
* In the directory /scripts/EQ2OgreCommon/ you will notice the file "eq2ui_loginscene.xml".
* To use this file: save this file into your Everquest 2 UI folder. For example:
** /EverQuest II/UI/ProfitUI/
** If you are using the default UI, save this file into:
** /EverQuest II/UI/Default/
** NOTE: When using the default UI, every time you run Sony's patcher, it will replace this file, and you'll have to copy it again.
**'''TIP''' Not sure which folder you use? In your /EverQuest II/ folder, edit the file eq2.ini (it may be called eq2_recent.ini). Find the line that looks like this: cl_ui_subdir UI/ and find this line: cl_ui_skinname test.
***In this example, my path is: /EverQuest II/UI/test/ so I would save the file there.<br /> <br />
**'''Note''' If you use ProfitUI, every time you update it may overwrite this file. If this happens ask in IRC #Ogre for help. I personally don't use profit, but others do.

 * The Alias tab, is where we give our toons aliases.
 * Why? Because  it makes change easier.

-** Your tank is named 'Kannkor' and is a Monk. A year later, Monks are terrible, so you want to switch to a super amazing Guardian, and his name is, Shrek.

-** We can even take it one step further. Lets say you swap both of these tanks out every once in a while, because you like pain.

-** This means if the character "Kannkor" is in the raid/group, it is used, if not, it will check if Shrek is in the raid/group. By having these two entries, you can have both tanks, and never have to edit anything if you want to switch back and forth!

 * You will notice on the samples, they all say "EditMe". It's simply telling you, you need to enter in the appropriate toons name. Most Aliases are pretty obvious, such as 'Tank', 'MeleeDPS', 'Priest1' etc. These are all user defined. You can create almost anything you want.
