Schism

Yeah, but people generally aren't thieving fuckwits in the Source modding scene.

Your choice vOv
Don't see the appeal of closed sourcing in any modding community but that's just me lol

I see the appeal of not having lazy shits who have no talent of their own, nor any interest in developing some, steal my work and put it in their shitty maps.

Your work which isn't your property anymore and you've distributed for free and they are using in their map to gain nothing except possibly a slightly bigger e-peen in a community you don't care about vOv

I mean, you have nothing to gain by doing anything in this community other than personal satisfaction. I for one, would feel rather good about myself if somebody else wanted to use my work in their own maps vOv

E: Take this to PM's or something, I don't wana shit on this thread tbh

Too late now.

I'm with Ross here, if some faggot took my mod and it's assets and made some shitty crysis jungle map, I'd be pissed. Not only would it be illegal for them to do that ( we have the right to the battle tech intellectual property), it'd also be fucking gay.

old argument is old...just make the fucking map already.

I really don't understand what the problem is. You don't want to make a map because you are worried someone is going to rip from it? And even though you would use protection, you still think that it is more likely to happen with Halo than with another engine type that has no protection?

Harassment is also a non-issue. There's maybe two fuckwits in the Halo community who actually care about protected assets. Ignore them. We've done it since HEK+ was released.

The HEK+'s protection sucks. You'd need to talk to Shadow about his.

Also, Source sucks. Shitty engine. Use Unreal with a better lighting engine.

They're still piggybacking off my efforts, and shit on the thread all you like. It's actually the topic at hand at the moment, so I don't see why you shouldn't. Yes, it's technically not copyright by me or anything like that, and yes, it's probably going to go into a community I give no fuck about. But you know what? I put the effort in. I did the hard work. It absolutely incenses me when somebody takes my hard work, calls it their own, and then gets any kind of benefit out of that.

jcrap - Source has a certain level of protection for the map itself, from what I recall (they rip with a lot of errors), but in any case the Source community is a lot better overall than the CE one. I don't recall seeing anyone nick another mod's content and when people don't credit things on places like FPSB or wherever, they usually get ripped a new one by everyone rather than a band of merry morons rallying behind them. In any case the CE engine is dated as hell and between that and the general lack of life, I don't know if anything could revive it.

And there's nothing wrong with Source (except the aforementioned grid problem).

I thought this thread was about the song from Tool...
