ok now c'mon, this is really embarrassing for me. i despretly want a tag from the odst vertigo.
its the odst smg, i dont usually rip from a map(except on those cough *cmt unprotected released maps* wink). does anyone know a program that can rip the tag? if so, send me a link on my profile here. ok most of you will probably think that after i ripped the tag im gonna release it. WELL HECK NO! fyi i havent uploaded a single file on halomaps, mediafire and some of those sites. pls hlp.

...I dont know what to say about this..

I do!
KEEP IT UP! I HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AND HOPE YOU GET IT!!

No it isn't. Most people don't like it, but there's no rule against it.

...I don't know why you'd even WANT that ODST smg :x

It's a terrible SMG, and they butchered my already terrible animations to hell.

You don't want that D:

Use Halo Map Protector and reprotect to get rid of the in the tag. Now rip it, have fun putting it together!

....

No...

It should be, because its owned by Gearbox. Not you

um no. if someone makes the maps, its their content. what would be illegal is if someone found a way to "unprotect" the source code,(yes i know its impossible), because that content is made by gearbox/bungie/microsoft.

ftfy

safe from what?A map is virtual, technically it exists but it can't fall on the ground and be destroyed or beaten to death with a hatchet or stepped on or anything else. There's no safety if there's no danger,think again.

im not saying i think ripping is wrong. i was just arguing that its a persons content if they made it.

honestly, microsoft made the weapon, vehicle, and BSP tags, and they dont scream at us when we use them, so ripping honestly is OK. as long as you give credit. who cares, the game is old anyway.

Protecting it just makes it more susceptible to being ripped.

dude guys just stop saying ripping is bad or that your maps that people make are theirs, dennis is gonna come later and tell you that your wrong and that maps/tags do not belong to people who made the map but it belongs to microsoft/bungie/gearbox and that only thing the map maker has is the credit for making the map.

Just like the other thread I started

If protecting a map was illegal, then so would making a map, completely defeating the point of HCE.

The whole point of HCE is to make new maps the way we want, and if want maps with tag names scrambled, then we shall have them scrambled.


If that's your big argument, then what makes you think that a program that rips apart maps which are owned by bungie and gearbox is legal? its true they don't care, but if that's your argument, then decompiling a companies assets is far more illegal. No company would be mad at you for trying to protect their assets, but many companies would for stealing theirs.

Exactly what I had in mind

they're not your tags, go ask microsoft.

FTFY

I have the map of [ODST] Vertigo Unprotected and I have the SMG but pity not to share or bounty leave me with something in return?

[ODST] Do + Daniloc is my friend, are the same person xD

I'm sorry, I seem to have missed this rule. Tell me, where is it?

In the bible: "Thou shalt not rip."

Anyway, i looked up "odst smg" in the search and came up with a couple maps that might have an "odst smg". Not sure if their the same as the one in the vertigo map, or if their ripable, but try some of these:

Lol cmt is illegal in the term of how much they just LOVE to protect thar maps. (jk :P)

Every map on this site is for everyone. The maps and Tags. so its ok to rip it. its just rude to use the tags w/ out permission. but go ahead its no illegal nor is it illegal to protect your map.

Seriously? Go to the weapons tag section of the site. The ODST smg has already been publicly released.

Well theres your solution :D

No it's not, that one's animated by Hayabusa terribly and worse than mine. Here hold on lemme find the link to mine...I animated it twice over so give me a moment to find the set with the Halo 3 reload...

Fix it for you. :P
Edited by Alder250 on Jul 16, 2010 at 01:21 AM

These are the second set I did, I kind of like the reload and just the overall set better than the first ones I had done: http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?19107-H3-ish-Plasma-Pistol-and-ODX-s-New-SMG-Animations

You get my stale PP animations as well as an added bonus >.>

Edit: Found my original set, but I took the download link off for whatever reason. People still got it and passed it around though, I don't have them however. You can check the link if you want I suppose: http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=29006

ODX, if possible log on within the next 10 - 20 minutes. I wanna ask you something.

this is embarrassing and the same time achieving time for me, but yay! i finally got the odst smg.
i downloaded eyeofthestorm, and categorize a copy of the map, then ripped the whole tag set to a folder and get the bitmaps/shaders/effects needed for the odst. it took me almost 2 hrs to recognize each

and btw i know "some" of you dont know what is a purpose of a tag. Not to be rude and all but the purpose is that when you make a tag, you make people happy when they're using them, just like h3_sandtrap(thank you very much guys!!) so what's the diff when they(those rippers that use the tag appropriately and responsibly) rip a tag and have fun with it? (well, not the bad way that "bad rippers" use them)

so if you really really want to protect your tag, then put your name/signature on the bitmap just like CMT's member Scooby did on the Splazer. thats one way to show that u own the tag.

thanks again everyone for supporting me in this thread

E : also ODX?, the link to the anims were either broken or already deleted. im not asking u to fix but just pointing out

It's a figure of speech.

Hmmm, perhaps I'll bust out my third set done on the actual Halo 3 ODST gun from the real game then...
