super program for HEK?

[Dwood]

that wasnt the point at all

Ya dont say. is it wrong to ask a question around here?

[ShadowSpartan]

Wouldnt it be fairly simple to write ones own hs interpreter so we could write scripts like that?

Seriously, that is the only thing you can think of that is useful about Prometheus from looking at those pictures? Open your eyes. If you think it is "fairly simple" to do that, then go ahead and try to write one yourself, I would love to see you try.

This.

Ughh this sounds like a buggy PoS. You're not going to want to be using an app launcher with memory hacks created by a juvenile programmer with a bad record.

Agreed, but I don't think we can get that through their thick skulls.

Not to mention it could open any map or any tags from ANY Halo game...

Why are people even trying to compare?

Because they are ignorant. They do not know how good the project was even in it's unfinished state.

E3po's application is nothing more than a fancy app launcher that people are hailing as the new Prometheus. Wake up. It's an app launcher that does not bring anything new to the table like Prometheus was going to, so stop comparing the two to one another.

CAN ANYBODY ACTUALLY POST PROOF THAT E3PO PUT MALWARE IN HIS APPS OR IS IT JUST A RUMOR EVERYONE JUMPED ON?

It's a rumour.

There was nothing in tool**, you can check the decompiled source code of previous versions that i'm sure someone has.


The only thing it did was load a web page to check for updates. That was it. How many apps do that these days?? uh... 1..2..3..4.5.6.. *looses count*

No, you are wrong. His Tool Star app, or whatever it was called, checked a website as he said for "updates". Nobody knew that it was doing so, so it is classified as malware. "Malware, short for malicious software, is software designed to infiltrate a computer system without the owner's informed consent."

One of his "updates" allowed code to run on a user's computer that deleted the Tool Star executable and replaced it with another, because he got mad at the community. Having a backdoor such as that would allow him to run any kind of code he wanted to without the user's permission or knowledge. Makes you want to use his application now doesn't it?

[chrisk123999]

Technically it was an update. Isn't that how updates work? By changing the exe with a newer updated one?

No, don't even try to defend what he did. Running code from a server that replaces the executable with something totally different is not an "update". He did not replace the executable with a newer version, he wrote a brand new executable in it's place that could have ran anything without the user's knowledge. A backdoor like that can be used to run any kind of code, including malicious code, and with his past record of getting mad at the community I would not put it past him to do something like this again.

Good times.

tldr:

"Let me have access to your pc so I can show you how to play H2V on XP"

A few days later:

"I was hacked and it wasn't me who was asking for access to your pc, it was someone else"

Yeah this guys legit.

[Kalub]

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know I was doing this launcher BS back in 06, it's nothing new. However, Prom, was fucking extraordinary imo.


You (see: whoever thinks this is hotshit, and supports cr3epo) need to all step back and reevaluate your lives.
