So what if old converters work become in vain? I thought bout it and decided i WOULDN'T like it to be released for that reason, but that is selfish. Back before HMT existed for either application people used hex editors to create simple projectile mods and were praised as gods at first, then more people learned and they lost status and had to do stuff even more amazing. If this app is released modding will be pushed forward, people will be able to convert maps but eventually all maps will be converted and people will have to add a little something extra. For instance i am still the only person that makes new uis, and to be honest they arnt anything special. Now if this appy is released custom PC UIs will be easy and i will have to put more work in to my mods for them to stand out. In the end lots of progress of modding has been staleld by people, i have been on both sides and i think in the end knowledge SHOULD be given free. I waited for thinkreddie to release the ai on teams tutorial, got sick of waiting and made my own. If i had his i wouldnt have gotten nearly as far in modding as i am now, but on the same token if he never released and i never found out we would all be stuck with shitty AI.tyler777 wrote:i dissaprove this 100%

those are the people that i think should have this ability those are people i trust alought and most of these people are respected in CE comunity
i didnt name myself because well i dont really need it but it wouldnt hurt to get it <_<
but thats just my opinions
And as to people converting what ever map they want, that is what yo udo. I highly doubt you go out and think "i believe by converting this map i will save the halo community" maybe you want to say you do but ibet you think more along the lines of "i want to play this map with a few of my friends who don't have CE".
Also the last point about pissing off CE community, they dotn care simply put. They are the CREATORs of these maps, we are in no way a threat to them all we can do is spread THEIR work. HEK+ already extracts tags back into native format so the maps arnt any more likely to get nubby on pc then on ce. From what i know of this appy it wont convert protected maps, all it will do is convert non-protected maps. They just wont care, they wont come into a forums and be like "FUCK YOU BUDDY, I JUST WANT SOME PEOPLE TO PLAY THIS MAP", they may be like "you dont have my permission, please take this down" or "you can convert this and spread my map and make me even more known".
All in all i dont want this appy to replace me either, but if i am a good modder like i think i am then i should be able still to produce mods that blow people away on a more level playing field.
Maybe a change to come is of people that horde knowledge wont be elite anymore and will have to be good modders and not just a select few.
