Wow, did I just walk into a preschool or what? Shall I call nap time, because everyone seems fussy.

-Zteam releases something. People are happy.
-Zteam stops releasing stuff for a little while. People wonder what's going on.
-People ask for an update.

If Zteam was vague about it and just said "yeah we're working on some apps to make our content extraction more accurate and useful," this would have happened:

-People ask for pics. Zteam posts them.
-People marvel at the pics of the extracted animations.
-People ask for pics of the tools. Zteam posts them.
-People marvel at the pics of the tools.
-People ask about the release of tools or research. Zteam says "no extractor, just injector."
-People throw a hissyfit because they're not getting everything.

This is what happened:

-Zteam posts pictures of extracted content and tools, and says that they're releasing no extractor, just the injector.
-People throw a hissyfit because they're not getting everything.

Zteam doesn't HAVE to release anything "for the good of the community." They made tools for themselves based off their research that are relevant to THEIR mod. Their tools aren't relevant to anyone else mods to be honest; everyone just wants them to be relevant. If you think that these tools are relevant to your work, then research Halo 2 map cache files and data tags yourself and make them yourself.

Now, pipe the fuck down before I start banning people. This drama is as old as the Halo community itself. Any more "TIEM TO SAEV TEH DAY FROM NAZI MODDER" posts or bickering because you're not getting everything they're making will be met with a smack to the face.
