While I agree that OS would benefit both CMT, and the rest of the community, I feel that Masterz has his reasons for not using it.
Sure, he may be helping the pirates by allowing the 1.00 and 1.04 community (Which currently has the most user base on HCE), however they might "turn over" if CMT were released under 1.08, and Open Sauce.
However, there is a 50 percent chance that people WON'T buy Halo, and will scourge the internet either by posting on forums:
Or by searching with Google (Like that'll ever happen, considering most of the internet newbies never search.)hai guyz CMT just releazed tehir new campain, any1 got a cd key??//?
As always, CMT, and the community, would benefit from having this Open Sauce update. However new problems might occur.
1. What happens if a modder makes one set of bitmaps.map and sounds.map, and then he creates another set that uses a couple different bitmaps and sounds. This might result in creating two of the same, which could waste space on a hard drive. A fix would be to create only one of each, then dump everything that is only bitmaps and sounds, into those two files.
2. OS_Tool, as gracious as it may be, since it is made with the "stable but unstable" Open Sauce, it could damage the structure of the map file itself, causing errors all around. Of course I am not doubting Kornman, but it could happen.
Edit: What I said in #2 would probably apply to a "newcommer" in the Halo CE enviroment.
