^Aight, I have to give that one to you.

Is anyone else laughing at this?

Ignorant gay people? Well for one, at least we aren't name calling and judging people just by what they say.

Second, although it may have taken an hour or more to actually compile this all together into a map, that does not constitute 'hard work.' Hard work would be actually making a few tags, or many parts of the level, not stealing things from people (albeit said things are released) and not giving due credit.

Edit: Sorry, I see you have posted saying you will give credit. Next time, however, it may be nice to mention that first instead of leaving us all to guess that you wish to steal it.

Edit2: However, I am quite disappointed in all of you, as I re-read some of the first few posts and the first page in general, for almost immediately flaming him for the weapons (which, god-forbid, you RELEASED, people therefore have a RIGHT to use it), rather than nicely asking him to credit the people who's work he is using, and then telling him something in a positive manner, what he can fix in his map to make it better and not 'offend' people so greatly.

It's threads like this that make me remember this forum nostalgically...

hey when ever we post this kind of stuff. were not mad were just trying to force it into there selfish minds that ripped content w/ out permission is bad. yea you can download them and use them for private use. but public releases are no good. all he did was mod a map. this is not your first map. Cityscape was made by some one else. all you did was point and click and a little bit of typing. hard work is when ever you put your soul into your art. all i see is some si encounters and weapons in a map not made by you.

I don't care if this map uses ripped tags and gives credit or not. As long as its released and is fun to play :D

Wow you're an idiot. Cityscape wasn't protected and was released publically, and therefore wasn't ripped without permission, therefore the author let anyone use it for their own mapping purposes. He's making this map for the enjoyment of other people and himself, and if he uses a little ripped content, it shouldn't really matter. Actually, by using it in his map in the first place, the original author should be happy that people like his work, and other people, like yourself, should really stfu or gtfo just because you don't like him using it, because I'm pretty sure he didn't get any of the ripped content in this map from YOU, now did he?

I don't think you seem to understand what happens when you release something. It is available for everyone to use, and available for everyone to put into a map and release.

If you don't want your assets being used, then simply DON'T RELEASE THEM. Otherwise, you have nothing to complain about, he is free to use the tags, there is no 'permission' needed when it's released, but of course it's a different story if he has something that is not publicly released and/or rips from something leaked.

I honestly didn't know that I should've given everyone credit in my VIDEO,I thought it only mattered that I was giving them credit when it was released,and okay it's my first MOD not map.also I'm planning on releasing a classic version after I release the other one because though I don't like the classic set I realise other people do.

Apparently the people who get angry care.

I mean honest to whoever, you guys are in a small community (somewhat), in a very very old game (still going strong might I add, on the regular game), and you are whining about credit, ripping, protecting, and people using your stuff without permission?

Good lord! Why do you even make things then? Here's some advice for everyone:

If you are making it for the glory, get the hell out of this community right now. If you are making it for fun, then by all means please stay, I would be very much pleased to have you here.
Edited by ODX on Dec 30, 2009 at 05:20 PM

does this mean I get to stay?

anyway,I'm thinking of making it where if you kill this prophet biped I got setup the level will end so you can end the level at your own will.bad idea?

So what of this is your work?

the mod itself,not the content,but the mod.

btw I removed a large amount of uneeded marines and added in a ghost which doesn't stay in one spot like the shadow

By discriminating other members, you'll make the community smaller until nobody really gives a flying phuk if you made something for this game or not. And L0d3x is right, you people seriously need to stop PMSing about rippers.

only the ones the throw a hissy fit like a three year old when their content gets ripped but the teams that do it for fun (the only mapping teams that should be in the community imo) would stay because they could care less,now Xel this fight is too evenly matched,I think we can both agree that we should just put away the armor for right now,right?

I agree with this statement. You know why? Because those that rip discriminate those that make good and bad tags. Then, they spend their free time ripping out all those good tags that they want, without giving a "flying phuk" about who made it, why it was protected in the first place, and they don't even bother considering asking for permission. How hard is it to ask for permission before using the tag?


No, it's the same generic protection vs non-protection argument. The difference is in this thread, the ones against protection didn't even bring out their normal arguments. All you've said is "IDGAF" and "GTFO IF U CARE ABOUT PROTECTION". Even though mapping teams may make things for fun, they release them for the enjoyment of the community. Is it too much to wish that no one rip and steal the tags from your map? They're releasing it for the benefit of a community, one who spends their free time ripping out their work without their permission, and using it in maps like this. The alternative is to not release anything at all, which you guys don't seem to like much.

Read this thread:
http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=30197

Instead of bothering to tell the guy why the tags are protected in the first place, half the rippers on the forum go over and teach him how to rip. No matter how good or bad ripping is, surely you guys should see the inherent problems here.

why would they cry?they're not like the mappers who cry when their stuff is ripped.
Edited by Delicon20 on Dec 31, 2009 at 11:37 AM

Technically, I haven't seen a single person successfully rip a full tag from the new protection. It's all been leaks so far. And you guys care more than you guys show. Your chatbox is so amusing xD

Ignoring my post eh?



Edited by Gamma927 on Dec 31, 2009 at 11:40 AM

yes it is.

there you're no longer being ignored.feel better now?

I will quote that whenever any person complains that a map isn't being released.

well I can't argue with what gamma just said because it's the truth but that's why we don't need glory mappers they get everybody's hopes up and then don't release because they're afraid their rep we'll be soiled if their weapons end up in a bloodgulch mod somewhere

but I will admit that it would be the rippers who scared him into not releasing the map helping to let everyones hope down

there. 1 for you and 1 for me

as for xel:Why don't you?
Edited by Delicon20 on Dec 31, 2009 at 11:51 AM

No, it's because Pakar blackmailed me twice for the map. I'm not releasing just to spite him.

1) This isn't a fight. This is a discussion where we inform you why ripping is bad, where you tell us "idgaf" and "gtfo", and where we try to show you our point.

2) None of your responses contribute to this "fight"

3) Seed the clouds with salt

1) when have I said for you to stfu and gtfo this whole morning?

2)really?look at the post of mine where I put 1 to 1

3)I think the weather channel has shown we don't have enough salt to do that




it's quite hard to win when you're being double teamed by two higher ranking soldiers so the fact I've stood my ground this long should give you some respect for the ripper side, of course now you'll quote my post and finish me off so go ahead,I got you to leave my map alone and flame me instead so i've achieved my goal

Edited by Gamma927 on Dec 31, 2009 at 12:11 PM

ftfy



I'm making one with ripped tags,one without,that would make some people happier but not a diehard antiripper like xel so I did what I had to do...

Oh god!I see a bright light!!No!!!everythings getting dark!! *chokes out his last breath and gamma and xel watch as the last bit of life flows from his eyes*

just leave it alone,man,walk...........away

omfg will all of you stfu about ripping. I mean really its like "oh no" someone ripped the content I worked on that I'm not getting paid for anyway and are supposed to be making for fun. I mean your making this sound like someone stole your idenity for christ sake. If you don't like your tags getting ripped then like Gamma said find better ways to protect them and stop flaming on rippers just because there smart enough to get around said protection.

I mean its not like a competition the purpose of "Custom" edition is to modify the game to make it better for "everyone" who plays it. If you want to keep some of your custom content for yourself thats fine. But once it gets on a community site like halomaps you should assume someone is going to rip them even if you protect them. It's the internet for christ sake what do you expect.

Gamma, Delicon and Xel post combo breaker!

Hour too late. Swordmaster beat you to it.

Xel how did you come up with the thought that I'm saying I don't want any maps released, all I am saying is that people have to stop complaining about ripping so much because its always gonna happen.
