Pardon Our (CMT's) Ignorance.

[FRain]

Here's my post with a little more back-research:

There is a supposed possible stability error if you use the vehicle limit increase and open sauce, so you're disqualifying it even though you haven't been there yet and have no fucking idea what the problem is, or what it does.

You want to cater to people with 1.00, 1.04, and 1.07. Why? So you can have more people play? That seems like a ridiculous argument to me. I thought we already had a solution to the problem which was to package an installer that would increase the vehicle limit, install open sauce, and upgrade to 1.08? What is there to argue? A possible issue that isn't even a problem yet and you don't even know what it is, or what it does.

Also: I see people throwing around the term "fanboy" ALOT in this thread. What gives?

And why have you all avoided answering the question presented earlier: what is the "solution"?

Because the specifics are irrelevant? Why are you so suspicious?

We're cutting two color channels out of every bitmap so that the entire mod is in shades of green.

The one thing I'll say now is that I'm tired of our members who are going "don't tell us how to run our team."

We don't have to maintain this great principle of "we never listen to anyone so dont tell us what to do ". We're just being stubborn and hyperdogmatic if we reject using OS for that reason. Some suggestions are petty, unreasonable, nitpicky, fanboyish, or otherwise worthy of being ignored, but this one has serious merit and is worth considering with the rest of the community as a party to our decision - after all, they're going to be effected by it more than the average suggestion of "make the wraith less shiny" or "add in a flood plasma rifle."

I never said anything about rejecting OS because of people telling us how to run our team. I'm annoyed that people, especially jcap who made this flame thread, are making this such a personal, right-or-wrong issue, telling us what to do instead of suggesting what to do, and that we've been pushed into using OS before we know we need it, because Kornman won't update OS if we don't use it. I might have gotten carried away in my arguing, and I apologize for that, but please stop making demands of us and insulting us if we don't conform to what you want.

I've always liked getting feedback and suggestions (even though Masters prefers the "we don't care what you think" approach), and I do agree that there have been many good arguments for OS in this thread. I'm also glad that most people in the thread have presented their opinions without being insulting or overbearing. Personally, I am totally fine with using OS. I don't think we really need it, but it'd be nice to have at our disposal, and we can do some cool stuff with it.

Also, we totally need a flood plasma rifle.

lol @ one of my posts. I forgot to finish one of those sentences.

Sounds like a plan. Halo-forestmod

This whole thing is ridiculous. Its not a right-or-wrong, good vs. evil issue. Its a "We as a community think this is the best solution" thing. We're not fervently angry or anything, but in the end, I cant think of a better solution than using the OS. Especially when compared to lowering the color scale so you can fit in all of the content. I don't understand why you guys are so repulsed by the idea.

However, a question that is yet to be asked is this: Do you guys not want to use OS because you've already finished removing the two color bands? That would make alot of sense, as I'd be pretty fucking pissed if everyone was trying to tell me to go back and do something AGAIN when I'd already solved an issue.

You cant think thats for real.

Tyrant, l2sarcasm.

Yea, too bad that wouldn't decrease the size the bitmap takes up in memory. Each channel has a value in the bitmap raw.

Because the specifics are irrelevant? Why are you so suspicious?

Seriously though, why is it irrelevant? It is a perfectly acceptable question.

Wow, please tell me this post was a joke.

[Hunter]

You really think they would do that?

You guys take all of this so seriously its lols.
