Startup Question
 
Hello guys,

I want to know if there is a way to disable the loading screen and just open to the Sessions window. There was no option in Preferences that I could see. I'm using CMUD 2.18 and not the Pro version.

To my knowledge there is no way to do this.

Click on the session icon that you want to open.
Then drag it to the desktop. Tada!

If you mean skip the splash screen that CMUD opens, rather than skip straight to your MUD (which is what Arminas' suggestion would do) there isn't a way, simply because CMUD takes a while to start as it loads everything it needs - without the splash menu, you wouldn't be able to tell what CMUD was doing (if it were, say, trying to connect to the internet) or why it hadn't opened.

Doh! Oh well, I'm quite used to eating shoe leather these days.

Yes I mis-read the question if you want to skip strait to your mud AFTER the splash screen and not have to select your session then do as I suggested.

Is there another way to skip straight to your MUD without having to drag the session to the desktop? I was thinking there might be a way in CMUD to have it load a session automatically. Oh, and my original question was how to skip the splash screen which would take a few seconds off the loading time.

Thanks.

Skipping the splash screen wouldn't take anything off the loading time. CMUD would still have to do everything it does while the splash screen is there - the splash is just there to tell you it's doing it.

And well, no - but however you launch CMUD (Quicklaunch, desktop, start menu, whatever) just replace the CMUD shortcut there with the one you put on the desktop. Or you could just copy the command line options in the desktop shortcut into the other shortcut.
