Idea!

Post by inferno »

i think this might work here is how too legally upload clean mpshared shared and mainmenu maps to HM.

1. get ppf-o-matic
2. create a blank file thats the same size of the mpshared.map
3. then create a patch that turns the blank file into a mpshared.map
4. upload the blank file and the patch too hm.

from my knowledge this is legal. mainly because it dosent contain copy righted code.

if the moderaters approve some one needs too upload this for the people who cant get the stoopid h2 disk too rip correctly. :roll:

it won't work. a patch just adds in the things that are different IIRC so it would still contain copywrited code.

Thats the best idea I've ever heard. You sir may be one of the most talented modders HM has ever seen.

Props to you and your superior intelligence.
