It's not all about cheating. Microsoft doesn't want to provide any means of putting outside intellectual property into their game. Which is just ridiculous when you consider that none of the other big PC developers seem to worry about it.Quote:

As I brought to polar's attention seemingly ages ago 100% magnetism, bipeds with the entire mesh set as the head, etc.Quote:

Either they do or our graphics dev just told me that to makes me feel bad and do more work. He has a blue mohawk and is pretty feisty, so it certainly could be the latter.Quote:

LOL - I suspect that there may also be be a trade off between the high end user experience and the average user's experience, which will be a much lower quality card than the norm for member of this forum. That or the dye job was a mistake you you were a handy target. :)Quote:

None of the other major game companies have a pay for play distribution system like the Live system. It is one thing to to have auto-downloads of content outside of the company control, like other games, but to actually control the content delivery though Live AND deliver other people's IP for a fee. The lawyers are lining up already for a copyright case.Quote:

So if I wanted to make a 2048 x 2048 sized bitmap with a blue boarder around it that will be clipped off by h2tool, it will reject the file even though it's at legal size.
Thanks for pointing that out. It shouldn't apply any restrictions on the source plate image. I would call that a bug so i'm gonna pass that information along.Quote:
