Closed Beta 1

This is a sub-page of League of Legends.

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Get Client screen (if possible), HUDs, placeholder screens, etc.

General Notes#

Client version 0.8.13.26.

  • Contains data from internal and historical builds of the game.
  • Contains virtually no air client data (missing due to human error?).
  • Has numerous extra character models for testing and placeholders, many of which are duplicates.
  • All particles in \DATA\Particles use TGA format (this will carry over until public release).

Client and Client Launcher#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Find a way to view the post-login client screen.

HUD#

The HUD has changed many times over the years, but many were not that drastic. This was not the case with the betas.

  • HUD has 2 iterations in the betas.
    • HUD2 is the one used in both Closed Beta 1 and Closed Beta 3.
    • HUD1 is a leftover from the internal pre-beta builds.

HUD 1#

There is a second Target HUD which has slots for items, but is hidden in the data. It's a step between HUD 1 and HUD 2.

HUD 2#

This HUD is easily mistaken for a similar, less flashy HUD, but is in fact much different.

Beardless Gangplank#

At this point in development, Gangplank didn't have a beard. This was changed in Closed Beta 3.
