[ADVANCED]Halo: The correct Way To CE->PC Tags

[Andrew_b]

I'm sorry to be rude, I mean I REALLY AM, but did you just tell everyone how to perfectly rip EVERYTHING from a CE map. Including the bitmaps and sounds. Few people knew this, and now there will be more rips than ever. But I haven't tried this yet, so I'm still not sure. Please forgive me if I'm rude, cause I know your awesome at modding

If someone rips tags from a CE map, it is the CE map creators fault for not protecting the map.

That is not true andrew, it is never the creators choice for what others do in regards to there contents thats like saying "if someone cracks halo and releases halo its bungies fault because they made halo.", which is just pure bullshit. The blame lays on the ripper, not the creator or the person handing out knowledge.

@minimario1315
While your concern is valid it has been considered many times i nthe past and led to different out comes, when decoy made the first ce bsp conversion tutorial we (read: modsquad617) decided not to release it becuase things could be ripped. Later i learned how to do it more fully and decided to release it because i didnt think a few rippers should have the power to keep knowledge from the modding community.
Also this has been semi-public knowledge in the past, i made a tutorial bout converting the wasp LONG ago that disappeared from the nets, but i am sure if someone looked hard enoug hthey could find it.

ok heres what i ment.

If there is a tag that the map creator DOESNT want to be ripped. he would protect the map so rippers couldnt get the tag.

Thanks for the lecture (again) conure.
