Pardon Our (CMT's) Ignorance.

[Arteen]

I forgot to add "doesn't work on anything but 1.08" to the bullet points. I'll clarify the issues.

OS will give us

• Smaller file sizes.
• Delta UI.
• 1.08 only.

We still have these issues with OS

• Maps depend on two shared maps and and a dll. As Dennis stated, that will put off potential players.
• OS has not been extensively tested, and jcap's thread has shown a few cases of OS crashing the game.
• OS is incompatible with Xfire and other OS apps (e.g. bloom) unless extra modifications to OS are made.
• 1.08 only.
• We don't need it.

Why is OS 1.08 only anyway?

And it's not incompatible with version changer.

Sorry, I saw "Version Changer" next to "Failure" a few times in the other thread and didn't notice that they got resolved.

Well, I hope I didn't come off as wanting an answer right-then-right-now-gogogogogogo-hurry up. After all it takes me time to actually write up the code. It's no trouble at all, its something that really should have been made anyway.

I wanted to just say "we don't know if we need it so we'll decide on it later" but everyone else felt pressured.

Didn't korn say that OS will work with 1.00 too?

[sdavis117]

I have one question for you CMT.

Why the fuck do you care about whether or not a ton of people can play your mod?


Just wondering.

I enjoy making content that I know will be enjoyed by others.

Wouldn't you rather enjoy making said content to the best of your abilities by using all the available resources?

And Arteen, I understand your points, but when you say you don't need it, does that mean that it was CMT's intention to have to cut a lot of content?

[Dwood]

Does it matter? tbqh CMT shouldn't care about anything but 1.08. Other than that it's illegal is it not?

[StankBacon]

i still don't understand why you guys are using/care about outdated versions, other than once again getting every possible download for your e-peen.

also, xfire is incompatible with the bloom mod, the camo fix and anything else that hooks into d3d, not just OS.

No, its not illegal I don't think, they just hadn't updated. Thing thats illegal about 1.00 is that most of the players on 1.00 didn't legitimately buy the game. Thats because the only real reason to play on 1.00 is because of the cd crack.

There's a misperception that we're starved for space and will have to cut lots of content. That simply isn't true. All we've cut of any significance due to space issues is the Delta UI, the a10 hangar cutscene, and the d40 legendary cutscene. The UI is trivial, most of us are glad the hangar cutscene is gone, and who really cares about the legendary cutscene? Now that we've cut the UI, we don't really have space issues any more. We're at the finishing stages of the mod; we aren't really adding anything else, and we aren't cutting anything for space issues.

We just want to finish the mod.

Then I don't care anymore.

Unless someone can sway me again.
