Editing Options In The Main Menu

[MrBehemoth]

This is an interesting question. It was actually the redundancy of the CS menu that made me decide to re-purpose it for The Trapdoor (re-play modes in the form of CSs, version 1.3 onwards). I'm glad I didn't know how to hide it at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have had the idea. It would be good to know, though.

Edit: this is where is go on about my theory, which turned out to be totally wrong. See below.

Spoiler below!

I've done a bit of research and I've got a theory, but I don't 100% know what I'm talking about so don't shoot me down!

I managed to pull a list of strings that are extant in the Amnesia.exe process. Now, I'm not saying that there definitely is a command line switch to turn off the CS menu, but if there is, it will be somewhere in this list. Only problem is, there is a huge amount of garbage (~39000 lines).

I've spent 15min searching the list for anything that looks like a relevant switch, but had no luck. If anyone else wants to have a go, let me know and I'll get the list to you. Unfortunately it's too long to paste into a spoiler tag without crashing my browser, and the file is too big to attach.

The other possibility is that the launcher does something snazzy, like somehow patching the exe in memory. If that was the case, you wouldn't be able to do it in a mod unless you had really good knowledge of the engine and you made your own special launcher. I'm guessing that if any of us were that good at programming engines then we wouldn't be here!
