I understand wanting to go to the menu quickly, but the splash helps with offering a nice presentation. Established players don't need it, but a new player starting up the second game it's still good. Timeout sounds otherwise ok-ish, but for players who actually want to look at the beautiful splashes (especially now that there's several of them), it's bad. For skipping the title, there already is a tiles option to not show the start splash (tile_tile_screen). --Eino ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Oracle to DB2 Conversion Guide: Learn learn about native support for PL/SQL, new data types, scalar functions, improved concurrency, built-in packages, OCI, SQL*Plus, data movement tools, best practices and more. http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Crawl-ref-discuss mailing list Crawl-ref-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/crawl-ref-discuss
