It's their fault they didn't run with you.
The best way to download SPV2 for most people is to separate it into two or three parts and host it on filefront. Fast ass speeds.
I don't see whats wrong with torrents...
Virus :awesome:
And not everybody has torrent programs.
They take way too fucking slow. I'd rather be downloading two separate parts at 700 kb/s then one HUGE file at like 50 kb/s.Quote:

Not always true, if the entire team and at least 20 community members with fast connections seed the torrent continually, the download speed can exceed 500 kb/s. The leechers (people downloading but not seeding the file) will still be uploading to an extent, so more downloaders also increases download speed. If CMTSPV2 is hosted on a torrent, it should only be for the first 2 weeks or so when there's a FLOOD of downloaders, then when it's calm just revert back to regular server downloading.Quote:

If you get a virus from a torrent, it's probably because you're a dishonest asshole who's trying to pirate copyrighted software/movies and downloaded a bogus file by accident.
And I have yet to see a free file-upload site where I can get 700 kb/s without paying for a premium account.
Back to CMT SPV2:
Will vehicles retain the regionized destrucibility from SPV1? It's ok if the regionized thing is taken out, but destructibility = win (especially on those annoying dropships with overpowered mortars). And also, I noticed that in The Silent Cartographer, those covenant crates/boxes were coded in as vehicles (they could be pushed around and so on) it was kinda weird, just wondering what that was about.
Azureus ftw, it's free too. Just stay away from piracy, use it to host CMT SPV2.Quote:

On topic:
It's a kinda noobish suggestion, but any chance of leaving an empty Wraith tank lying around once in a while? To "jack" a tank I have to grab an automatic weapon and fire at the Wraith until the driver falls out, however this also damages the tank to an extent.
Yeah, I was just wondering this. I mean, Wraiths are fun to use and all, but when they're at half health, it isn't always worth it.Quote:

Yeah, I realize that not everyone can lend a hand abe a dedicated seeder, but still, don't simply ignore the fact that it's there and it can potentially work.
well..Isnt there faster torrents?For example just take one Private tracker..Rly..The torrents that is uploaded at ,lets say TPB is the same as the ones on private trackers..only that on the private trackers there is way more seeders..
Uh, all the tracker does is track who's on the torrents. The only way the Tracker would affect speed at all is if it went down; peers would have difficuly locating each other for new connections.
Speed on BT is all about how many people are seeding vs. how many are still downloading in the swarm. There should ALWAYS be more seeders than downloaders for a Torrent to be in good health.
What I also might note is that leechers tend to get throttled. If your share ratio is low, don't complain about shitty download speeds. You should always seed at least 1.5x the size of the download.
^ That's easy for those of you who have no download/upload limit to say.
I used to upload at nights or when im afk..But i barly use it anymore...
Fuck that. I go to 5 on just about every torrent and 10 if it was a really good file.Quote:

It would be great to leave an empty Wraith lying around at some spots, e.g. in Two Betrayals, I know there's a Scorpion there, maybe put a Wraith there instead?
Or be able to jack it?
They aren't doing vehicles you can jack though, but the idea of having one you can drive is a good idea.
Not unless the IMG members make an app for MTV. That's what MAsters said at Halomaps anyways.Quote:

I was previously thinking about suggesting that the Shade turrets get their mortars removed, but then I realized, those mortars are cheap yes but they make for an interesting challenge. The opening battle on Silent Cartographer is damned hard thanks to the mortars, but still fun.
To my knowledge, the mortars were removed due to suckingness. The needler turrets stayed I believe.Quote:

Apparently, there was something about having Dummy vehicles and junk. That alone sounds like an unnecessary amount of tagspace being consumed there. It'd be cool, but it wouldn't exactly be necessary to have a fun mod.
I believe you need two vehicles to make Hijacking work, and CMT is already complaining about tag space.Quote:

Shooting them out of the wraith still damages the wraith, like I said :P That's why I'm calling for an empty Wraith to be left at the mercy of the player.Quote:

Still hasn't been skinned. Nor has anything else for a while **cough**.
Isn't there a tag for damage to affect the driver and not the vehicle? I know that that would screw with damage permutations, but it would be nice to drive unbroken vehicles.
Simple solution: Make the vehicle indestructible and all damage is absorbed by the driver/passengers, just like in stock Halo. But all those newbs would be screaming their heads off if the vehicle destructibility were removed though (except in MP where it doesn't work so well).Quote:

Also, if you enable the deathless player cheat, you'll notice that a vehicle cannot be destroyed as long as you're behind the wheel, even if the vehicle health is at zero. Iffy...but neat.
Btw, about the human chaingun turrets on Halo (2nd level, 1st group of survivors), maybe they shouldn't be made mounted...the fact that they're locked into position makes them a bit cheap. Even on Legendary, half the Covie dropships were blown out of the air before they handed.
A Wraith in the spot where 2 ghosts are in AotCR would work.Quote:

Yeah just too slow for people that are too slow to realize they need to time it better :p
Guys I really don't think any single element from spv1 is still alive in this new mod without severe changes. The assault rifle's animations are completely redone, and trust me it has a fast melee.
The spv1 AR melee was hard to get used to at first, but once you figured out the timing of it it was an amazing tool. Strips normal elite shields in one hit, shoot a couple rounds into 'em and they're dead! :D
yeah, it was nice and all that the over the head and down on the back melee was implemented in SP v1, but it forced me to give up on smacking things around with the AR.Quote:

I use left Shift with my pinky to melee. It`s faster and easier to press than scrambling over the keyboard to hit F when I could just use shift to stay in the battle and not compromise my ability to press wasd keys.Quote:

I just kept default controls you clods.
I like it.
'course I am not one of those bumber jumper fags.
The default controls are perfectly fine tbh.
yup
imo
The only game I've ever had to change the controls for was halo 2.
Who puts left shift as crouch?
What the hell? That's unheard of.....Quote:

Anyone remember those shielded Flood too? They totally surprised me.
Other then crouch (which I changed to "c" just for the hell of it), I use all default.
And I don't remember sheilded flood in Halo 1. Maybe my memory is just fuzzy, but I would think I would remember that.
Shielded Flood officially emerged in Halo 2, but SPv1 had them as well.
Also you guys fail at keyboard mapping: Shift is melee, F is use, E is flashlight, and C is crouch.
What? The. Fuck!Quote:

E: Ah, smack.
I just tried that out and that makes a lil more sense.
You guys are gonna scream bloody wtf at me.
Middlemouse to zoom
Right mouse for melee
Left mouse for shoot
C for flashlight
ctrl for crouch
mousewheel up/down to switch weapons
q to switch grenade type
e to throw grenade
f for use
tab for scoreboard
Don't kill me kthxbai :D
I melee with my pinkie all the time :PQuote:

Also my friend uses it so it's annoying when I try to play at his house because it defaults to that.
Also why play boxer when you can do bumper jumper? I don't use it but its the only good control scheme besides standard.
Ok, I dgaf anymore about this. I refuse to post until this topic is over and we get back on topic.
I've done that too, changed my halo one and two controlls to call of duty 4 ones :). They're so much easier to use, especially since I'm on CoD4 lots.Quote:

Boxer just takes some getting used too.
Slap B then get back to the aiming stick to point before the end of the animation, not that hard.
I don't use it myself but my brother does.
Whats the point of boxer if there is no advantage?
Halo 3 - Simultaneous melee window is wide open so higher shield wins.
Halo 2 - Host wins or better connection.
Halo 1 - Host wins and client melee is usually pretty random or guardians.
It's saddowns not downssad you tard.Quote:

I'm locking this until there's another update. Masterz gets permission to unlock the thread as he created it, but if any other team members have something to post, ask a mod.
We'll be showing SPV2 live tonight for about 3 hours.
Link to watch is http://www.xfire.com/live_video/masters1337/
If you have Xfire feel free to log in to join the chat.
If you have any requests of things you want to see, feel free to ask in chat or on here.
Where the fuck did this thread come from? Some one take pictures of the broadcast because I have to go to sleep.
Post em here.
Oh god, now I'm gonna be as tired as fuck in the morning. But I have nothing important to do tomorrow.
Holy crap masterz. I remeber when you first invited me to the first broadcast.. but uh.. you been broadcasting for days now, arent you tired of playing? lmao.
Woah, coolio.
Sweet.
I'm sure the 2-3 years spent making the mod has made it's replay value very high, not likely that even Masters is going to get bored soon.Quote:

Jesus guys check out live broadcast NOW! TSC is awesome!
Just finishing watching a live broadcast of The Silent Cartographer. Really awesome.
*now I realize I need to register on Xfire for once*
Lol, I was trying to explain to you that the MA5K Logo and text that kept popping up was a place holder for the Covenant Carbine. I think you understood after the third time I said that. Just wanted to make sure though. lolQuote:

Well with all them other spewing out shit about niggers and trying to agitate Masters, I couldn't really see your message until everyone got bored and left. seriously, I'd kill myself if i had to play through all that crap on the TSC before finishing the lvl. Fortunately that is not the case as you can just skip it all.Quote:
