[General] Getting rid of 'PRESS ANY KEY', and a question related to Doodads

[jonhysone]

Hi people,

I am, again, tired of searching through Google. I'd just ask a question in here.

So , as the title says, how to get rid of that message 'PRESS ANY KEY TO START' , after the loading screen? It's just annoying to make players wait others to press keys

The other question that's related to custom destructible, I have imported a model of a tree, but it seems like it doesn't show in the fog, it must lighted and in sight to see it, but no one can see it without vision ( No Fog Display )

Is it a default of Warcraft ? Or just graphics problem? Or I have to check something in Object Editor ?

I will check my graphics options later though.

Thanks, +REP

To get rid of the "PRESS ANY KEY TO START", you could do the following.
Step 1: Create a .txt file with the following text:
"[FrameDef]
LOADING_LOADING= L O A D I N G
LOADING_PRESS_A_KEY= PRESS ANY KEY TO START
LOADING_WAITING_FOR_PLAYERS= WAITIING FOR OTHER PLAYERS"
Step 2: Edit to whatever.
Step 3: Import to "war3mapSkin.txt" in import manager

WARNING: If you do this, all changes you made in Advanced>Game Interface will be set to default.

This is for editing it, don't really know if you can remove it entirely though.

EDIT: Realised that was not what you were asking for, lol.
I think there is something like:
On map init
Force player to press some key...
Might solve the problem, Idk.
Worth a shot.

Use a custom loading screen with a description instead of using the Warcraft 3 text, having text forces people to press a key to begin. Or switch to Starcraft II.

What do you mean by 'Custom loading screen with a description' ?
Do you mean 'LoadingScreen.mdx' thingy, yep I did of course but no thing. I think I have to switch to Starcraft after all

On map init

Yep I tried all things googled but nothing seems to work either :S

Well if you have ZERO custom text in your loading screen, then there shouldn't be a "press key to start" for the players.

So if you want a description for the players at startup, use a custom loading screen and have no text in the title, subtitle and description.

The "press key to start" is pretty much always there. I never use the editor text, subtitle and description, yet it almost always occurs on my maps.

Randomly it isn't there, but I really can't tell why.

@OP > If the earlier mentioned things did not work, I don't know what to tell you man. Am at my computer now, so will take a look at it
I have seen this question a trillion times, yet it seems that the same answers keeps coming up, yet none of them does the trick.
Could be awesome if this got solved.
