Pardon Our (CMT's) Ignorance.

I remember H2CE made this thing called Direct2U that not only downloaded the maps but also provided .Net Framework. The same could be done here (regarding versions).

Exactly, that's what I've been saying, along with jcap, for a while now. And they decided to use it, however, it seems they haven't seen the full potential of distributing with such an app.

I already told you, we rather keep things large and uncomplicated, rather than smaller and confusing. We are happy how things are. Using OS to make the files smaller is not a good enough reason to use it.

We did want the UI. Now we don't.

The UI adds 27 megs to each map.
There are 10 maps.
That is 270 MB Per person who downloads the mod.
100 people download the mod.
That is 27 Gigs.
200 People download
That is 54 Gigs

All that for a pretty pause menu?

what?

I already pointed that out earlier, but he keeps lying to himself, so I just let him keep digging himself into his little corner.

I remember this!!!

But has CMT even had a reason to why they won't use os other than because they like it they way they want and don't want to change.

**sigh**

We would RATHER things remain large and uncomplicated, that doesn't mean UNESSARILY large like including the Delta UI. We are happy how things are right now.

Using OS to make shared maps to make them smaller complicates things for the average user. Even though we would like to keep things large and uncomplicated, we don't have a problem with trying what Korn is working on and TRYING it, but we will not make an obligation to use it. It's worth trying, but we are not going to commit to something right now when we are happy where everything stands as it is.

Thanks Masterz. I think that post was actually worth reading. I see what your saying about commitments and such. I also understand what you saying about complicating things for the average user, but here's something to consider:

Almost none of the people who would be playing Halo CE anymore are average users. They are mostly members of a very dedicated fanbase who are very into the whole 'scene' that goes on with it. I don't think the use of the OS application will overcomplicate the use of the mod, in fact, I think it would add to the appeal of it, as its showing off uncharted territory for the game. By using OS youd be enhancing peoples image of the game.

Could the UI be released separately (IE, on Halomaps)? I know quite a few people have been anticipating it for years.

[StankBacon]

how is using OS going to make it more complicated?

[SnaFuBAR]

it's not, it's just bullshit talk from masters.

[Bodzilla]

I have yet to see us bitch about it. The only person is Jcap and he doesn't have anything to do with CMT. At this point he's just another fanboy.

Apparently danes ecstatic at the models he spends hours and days painting keep getting reduced in size or cut out completely.
he's never ever been annoyed or anything.
