I'm sorry

[marcus903]

I'm very sorry for bashing you guys. It's just that I need to work on accepting criticism.

To tell you the truth, let me tell you why I've been rejecting your suggestions:

The correct reason why I've been rude lately is because you keep giving me the wrong type of criticism. I was expecting criticism that does not only tells me the flaws in my modifications, but also telling me the good stuff about it. You guys just told me what was wrong with it, you didn't give me anything good about it. The thing is, I get really upset when people only point out the bad stuff about my mod, and don't give me anything good about it.

The reason why I use PC instead of CE is because I'm not good at modding. I believe CE was made up of people who are good at modding and can do anything besides biped swaps. If I go on CE, I want to do something that I couldn't do on PC. If I can already do it on PC, why should I do it on CE? Plus, PC is easier to mod because CE requires tag conversions and extracting. All this 'converting' confuses and frustrates me, so I mod Halo PC because I don't have to extract anything unless I am PMI'ing some tags.

Furthermore, I'm very sorry for being a rude prick. Any chance to forgive me?

Can't really see anything good about your mods when what you're doing has been done by most of us at least once and is vastly overshadowed by CE. Sorry, it's the harsh truth. Good to see you accepting it now, though. Acceptance leads to growth.

Enough. All that needs to be said, has been said in previous threads, this new one is completely unnecessary.

You can't ask for criticism and then ignore it, because it's the "wrong kind of criticism." The reason you are not receiving any "good" crit is because, as people keep saying, your mod is entirely unoriginal and has been done before - many times.

Please, no more threads like this.

I KNOW my mod isn't original. It was not made to be original.

we all secretly needed you.

although I'm not sure why you wouldn't want an original mod... what was it made to be then?

I knew it wasn't going to be original because I saw mods just like that. It was made to be a twist to the original campaign.

I don't see a problem with asking a question and getting a response from a reliable source..It's understandable that you are frustrated with the HEK, I was the same way when I started out. Just practice something new and you will greatfully learn something you never knew.

i havent said much, but ive been following all of your threads. my thoughts are as follows:

The correct reason why I've been rude lately is because you keep giving me the wrong type of criticism. I was expecting criticism that does not only tells me the flaws in my modifications, but also telling me the good stuff about it. You guys just told me what was wrong with it, you didn't give me anything good about it.

to put this as gently as i can, this isnt grade school, and we arnt your parents. we arnt going to sit here and tell you everything youre doing is great and you should keep it up. the fact of the matter is you chose to post on a forum that deals (or dealt) almost exclusively with custom edition. the vast majority of us understand the limitations of modding pc, and we use ce because its just better. as people have said before, there was not a whole lot of official documentation for this editing kit. its purpose was to make custom MAPS, and that was it. it just so happened to also have the capability to change other things as well. we all basically had to learn everything ourselves, or ask somebody who did. without starting that whole "this is my work" thing again, i started off very similar to you, except i started with ce instead of pc. my first mod was making assault rifles shoot plasma. and i was PROUD of that too. then i continually looked into tags to see how other things worked using my knowledge of them ingame, and eventually taught myself basically everything i know through experimentation.

point is, youre not a special case. we all started off as ignorant of the HEK as you are. and i mean absolutely no insult by that.

The reason why I use PC instead of CE is because I'm not good at modding. I believe CE was made up of people who are good at modding and can do anything besides biped swaps.

ce is made up of people who started just like you are right now, they just started before you and have had more time to learn. dont fool yourself into thinking we were all born with this knowledge. we had to learn it too. see above statement about how i started.

If I go on CE, I want to do something that I couldn't do on PC. If I can already do it on PC, why should I do it on CE? Plus, PC is easier to mod because CE requires tag conversions and extracting. All this 'converting' confuses and frustrates me, so I mod Halo PC because I don't have to extract anything unless I am PMI'ing some tags.

heres something you can do with ce that you cant do on pc: make a campaign from scratch. by not wanting to move to ce because pc is capable of "everything" you want to do, youre doing 2 things to yourself: one, youre limiting your creativity to the limited constraints of pc modding that youre already aware of, and two, youre purposely ignoring a platform thats pretty much hands down superior to what youre currently using.

i would argue that your best bet is to attempt to re-create a mod youve done on pc using the HEK and ce. if you can figure out the relationship between how pc modding does some thing and how the hek does that same thing, i think that would be a good point to work off of for learning new ce stuff. all those mods people posted in your other thread were not (originally at least) meant to be a put down for you. they were meant to show you just some of what ce is capable of.

Furthermore, I'm very sorry for being a rude prick. Any chance to forgive me?

i cant speak for anyone else, but im taking this thread as a sign of good faith. if you continue on this path and listen to us, then yes. otherwise, i think youll find yourself unwelcome here.

Well, I'll try the HEK+ again.

Well, I'll try the HEK+ again.

HEK+ is a tag extraction program created by SteelixB, a (former) member of the community. It is not an official tool supplied by Gearbox, but it is one of the best public tag extractors available. The three official HEK tools are Guerilla, Sapien and Tool.
