How do I use /skipintro when launching the game with Impulse?

from Demigod Forums

I launch Demigod by double-clicking the Demigod item in the My Games section of Impulse.  I am unable to figure out how to modify the command line parameters to that shortcut so I can add /skipintro to it.

simple; stop using Impulse to launch DG.

Hmm... there doesn't seem to be a -1 karma button...

Unfortunately, I haven't found this option.

I use Xfire however and in the Tools > Options > Games tab when you highlight Demigod in the list you can add "extra parameters" to the launch of the game from Xfire.  It'd be nice for impluse to have something like this for users that don't use Xfire or feel like editing a shortcut to do it.

Rename the four video files that are in your Movies folder.  Then when you launch demigod, it'll instantly post the game menu.

I used to do that but every time Demigod updates it re-downloads the movies which makes updating take longer and requires me to fix it each time I update the game.

You can create 2 bat files, one to rename from original to another name, and another one to rename it back before you start updating. I know it is a work-around and the option to set  the commandline parameters in some kind of options screen would be nice.
