Press any key on load

I'm switching my map load screen to the Campaign Screen. I notice that it says press any key to continue and I worry that people won't do it. How do I make it so that it starts without that?

I got the impression that if you don't click the button, it will click itself like after 10 seconds, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Else I think it's pretty hard to make it so you don't have to click if you want a custom screen.

We had a discussion about this a month ago. Basically, once everyone has loaded, the game starts after ~30 seconds or if everyone presses a key. So don't worry.

Besides, there is no way to make the message disappear unless you do not place text in your load screen.

DotA automatically starts, no key is required to be pushed.

I do not play DotA so I have no idea, but I can assume DotA did not use normal War3 mission text in their loadscreen.

They obviously don't have loading screen text then, most likely a custom load screen is being used.

Edit: Aww, timmy was too quick :<

Correct, DotA do not use any text, its just the you know me, i know you standard model for loading screen (which is a flat model with a image, the image has text on it)

It automatically starts after a period of time. This time appears to include the load time, so maps with long load times may not have an artificial wait.

The press any key button goes away immediately when you finish loading in dota. It does have a custom loading screen, but I could have sworn that it was that way before the custom load. Oh well, I got another idea from bdsm that I will use.
