I was saying that we can release an installer to simplify installation.

That would be the main download. Individual map files could be hosted on rapidshit or some other gay-ass filesharing site so they have the option to be a faggot.

THIS, OR, instead of a massive installer, do it H2CE style (I'm sure some of you remember this) where you download a relatively small program that connects to a server and downloads everything for you - this would be much easier as you could start the process of obtaining the maps much sooner than waiting for a massive file to be downloaded, otherwise the same concept as jcap suggested applies.

Yeah, I've been giving this some more thought, and that's what I was beginning to lean more towards. The installer would be like a 1 MB file that would just contain the instructions for installing the mod. The installer could be configured so it would detect if CE is installed, then detect if it is up date, download any files necessary (whether you need HCE, the update, or just the maps), and then put the maps and the UI in the game.

It would basically do the same thing as the CD key recovery tool.

It could be setup so it searches for a registry key containing the CD key, and as an added bonus it can check against a list of all known illegal CD keys to keep pirates from getting their hands on the Halo campaign (otherwise you're contributing to piracy).

If CMT would agree to make this a 1.08 only release, I'll work on an update to OS where it gives the game and the tools more available memory for tag data.

You mean tag space? That would be beneficial to the mod.

Just pointing out that Kornman is offering to give you (and hell, the whole community) more cookies if you ditch the 1.0(4)tards.

You would be a colossal retard to pass this offer up, hth. Especially after bitching to everyone and everything about how you're constantly out of tag space and tag slots.

Either limit your mod still to accommodate every player under the sun, or sacrifice some players to crank it up a notch. Your call.

I already responded to his request, it's not a matter of tagspace, it's a matter of tagslots. Tagspace is an annoying error, tagslots is the one that is a show stopper. I don't really bitch about either, except when someone wants to know why we don't do this or that.

Even then, I don't know what I personally want to do. Most of the team doesn't give 2 shits about 1.08 or it's playerbase, and frankly I don't either. The idea of being free of those restrictions (if korn can do it) would be nice, but I am immensely proud of how what we've been able to do all within the games own rules. I don't count boarding as part of this, since it's an option and not a requirement. Even if we do go with OS, we're not going to add anything extra into the mod that isn't there.

Personally, I think the online playing community is fine, it has plenty of players IMO, and it doesn't need any saving.

So...you're a complete moron.

Yeah, pretty much. Even though I didn't say we wouldn't do it.
