Remove Nvidia logo from UT2003 startup?

[ArmchairAthlete]

I was playing the demo which had this stupid Nvidia advertisement whenever you started the game. I think it should be more along the lines of "the way it's not meant to be played" but nevermind that. Anyhow, I buy the game, and the #(*@# advertisement is still there in software I have PAYED for. Every time I start the game I have to waste time loading that junk and clicking through.

I recall the original UT had some demo it loaded at every startup and there was a way to prevent it from loading in a *.ini file. I found the right file in UT2003, here's the line that does it I think:

"LocalMap=NvidiaLogo.ut2"

Tried changing to:

"LocalMap=null"

But that just gives me an error when I start the game.

Anyone know how to do this?


EDIT: Also, anyone else get fuzzy music on UT2003 after playing for some time? I don't know why but sometimes my music in UT2003 gets fuzzy.

Just hold down the Esc key after you launch the game, and the logo won't even show up.

I guess I could do that...

But isn't there a better way? Some way to edit this .ini file like in old UT?

I know there's a lot of different logos you can change it to. ATI, 3dfx, etc. I don't know if it can be removed altogether.

there is a way to put different logos in there, like the ATI one which makes much mroe sense with the "the way its meant ot be played" statment. try goolging for it

Heh, tried google. Found a way to put whatever graphic I wanted in place of the Nvidia one. I opened up the original texture and slapped an ATi logo on top of the Nvidia one. Looks so funny whenever the game loads up! I might try other stuff.

I'd still prefer if it didn't waste time loading anything at all...
