Menu Logo Disabler

Description
Removes the Left 4 Dead 2 title logo seen in the main menu in a simpler and more effective way unlike other addons that attempt to do the same.

Made on request for my other mod, Ryker's Main Menu, although it also works in the vanilla menu too. Works for Quit 4 Dead as well.

Meant to be as mod-friendly as possible, but expect Left 4 Dead 2 to complain about conflicts for menu mods if they contain custom logos like Urik Menu. Make sure you subscribe to this mod after subscribing to anything that contains a custom logo.

quick correction now that i updated it and read more source engine documentation, this no longer uses alpha to hide it. check the change notes for more info if it matters.

Fair enough, thanks for the explanation!

>What happened that caused the other logo removal mods to turn into purple checkerboards?
the other logo removers include a compressed .vtf texture that is a transparent pixel to some degree and an unedited copy of the .vmt file which is redundant and bloaty. the .vmt (if left unedited) is still looking to translate that transparent pixel with vector colors and alpha, and translucency which makes no sense. my hunch is that there's a new gui quirk that mishandles the transparent pixel and solidifies it. although heavier on size, memory and performance, their way can be fixed by deleting the .vmt and correctly formatting the transparent texture replacer to an uncompressed transparent pixel.

this mod simply edits the .vmt, strips all of the irrelevant rendering properties, tells the game to not bother searching for the actual texture and forcing the alpha to be zero just to be safe which is much better on size, memory and performance (and reliability!).

What happened that caused the other logo removal mods to turn into purple checkerboards? I know for a fact they worked up until recently.

hehe, no problem! i was in the middle of replying to your post on my mod when you responded, so expect me to just finish it up as a response anyway.
