2D background image instead of 3D

[Xeoxer]

3D maps in the background of main menu increase the start-up time of BM significantly. Can someone tell me how to make the game load a custom image instead, like it is in HL2: DM? Or just omit loading the background?

You can start the game with the -console parameter to load directly to the console (this also disables the map background).

Thanks, that did the trick.

There is also a WON theme for Black Mesa. It has the menu display a custom image, though you have to edit the valve.rc and put in a // before the word startupmenu to not load the background map. The download was somewhere here. There was also a WON menu background map that takes less time to load than the original background maps here.

Um, WON?
