I figured out a trick to use oversized avi files in the menu system.
Only one problem, the stupid console button appearing and dissapearing means
the avi only works one way or the other. If you have the wrong one installed it looks
stupid. However, it adds the possibility to totally customise the interface of the main
menu page. What I did was hide the text over his face but you could animate him winking
or change the color/font of the unchangable text, etc.
Here is how it works. If you have the console enabled with the -console command line then
you rename Coolerconsole.avi to logo.avi
If you do _not_ have the console enabled with the -console command line then
you rename Coolernoconsole.avi to logo.avi
If you really don't care what the menu looks like, you leave logo.avi as logo.avi
since it works for both. It doesn't look as good though since the guy has text
over his face, and it doesn't demonstrate the possibilities either.
All of the avi files can be found in the action/media directory. As long as one of them
is named logo.avi and works for you, the other 2 are safe to delete.
