Zteam Update, yes we are still alive! [28.8k warning]

[n00b1n8R]

Do you people not read?

Animation injection: The one thing that we actually need, they said they might release later on down the road. This is the one program that the community would improve with, and I think great custom content can come from this.

Animation extraction: Releasing this would be death to all custom content. It would allow people just to rip their animations instead of create their own, and probably violate a few EULA rules. Its fine if Zteam makes this themselves for the learning, uses it to create one single awesome h2 clone that would be damn-near impossible to recreate, and keeps it to themselves, but it is not something I want spread into the public. That would be a disaster. Remember what happened with HEK+? A horrid avalanche of identical ripped animations to ensue.

Looks nice guys, keep it up.

At the risk of sounding like the worst of heretics, so fucking what?

Everyone always bitches about ripped content or ripped maps or any other ripped anything but nobody fucking cares. You act as though these people are making you download these maps and forcing you to play them, which they are not. If you don't like it, don't download it, don't play it but leave it at that. You have no right to tell other people what they can and cannot do. You have no right to tell people what they can and cannot enjoy. You are no better than anybody else.

People can look at these ripped anims and learn from them, or re-use them in their maps. You say that these animations are poor quality? Their the same ones as in halo 2 and I personally never had any issues with them. If somebody makes a custom gun and wants to use these anims (or an altered version) as opposed making their own which may not be as good, then that's their choice and good for them. The only result of this that I can see is more decent looking anims which I'm sure nobody will say is a bad thing.

Further more, there are people enjoy making maps, using custom weapons and doing all that stuff. They find it fun. If you're not in this community to let other people have fun (even if that's not your main reason) than I find it hard to understand why you're here at all.

Halo is a game, and you people take it so seriously it's ridiculous. Close sourcing anything is probably the worst thing anybody could do for the community.

win, I can has links to the pictures?

Just right click them and go "view image".

I don't even know what animation extractors and injectors are. Or why you would or wouldn't release them. Plz help teh nub :'(

Animation extractors take animations out of the game and put them into max or maya or w/e. Animation injectors put custom animations back into games. Can't explain it any simpler than that.
