Zteam Update, yes we are still alive! [28.8k warning]

[Gamerkd16]

1. Annoy the shit out of them till they release it or, the more likely, destroy it.
2. Persuade the admins of all halo related websites and communities to IP ban them on identification.
3. Go find them in real life and take the tools for yourself. Torture and kill them if you find it feasible.

4. Or you can be practical and accept it.

5. Wait for it to be leaked.

...because that usually happens at some point down the line.

There are only 3 of us on the team. I highly doubt one of us is going to leak.

99% of released mods are ripped content.....alll we do is slighty edit and modify bungies content. Whether its placements, or models, and how they get used. Grow the fuck up. Everything else can be extracted, and we learn from the stock meta numbers, etc. By not releasing the extractors, you simply make it harder on everyone to figure out proper animation meta.

have you seen the amount of shitty maps floating around with poorly ripped h2 weapons? Besides, the models and textures for them are readily available, and animations are the last sacred art...

This is what happens
And this when bsp ripping was possible

Way to bring the community down, z-team. The community has given you EVERYTHIGN, and you, in return, do nothing, except write a crappy cmd app. FAILZORZ.

so they havent given us sanctuary (one of the most played and downloaded maps) or the actual campaign scripts to allow bsp modification and scenario rebuilding?

Handicaps such as YOURS are the one that truly scare me in this world.
z-team fail rate thus far = %100

wow...
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?se...team&B1=Search
look at the download numbers....
then learn to do your own research

Not to mention that our animation extraction maxscript and orion app is locked to our pc's.

Indeed. Plz post it. I haven't seen it yet...Wow I sound like a nub XD

ROFL, that gif was epic. I had it somewhere but it may have been sucked into the black hole when I reformatted.

ROFL @ teh noob...and @ Z-team for being the original noobasaurus.

Do me a favour and show us what you've contributed to the community so far. Show us the EPIC modifications you've made to this game and shared knowledge you've lent to the community.

Wow, did I just walk into a preschool or what? Shall I call nap time, because everyone seems fussy.

-Zteam releases something. People are happy.
-Zteam stops releasing stuff for a little while. People wonder what's going on.
-People ask for an update.

If Zteam was vague about it and just said "yeah we're working on some apps to make our content extraction more accurate and useful," this would have happened:

-People ask for pics. Zteam posts them.
-People marvel at the pics of the extracted animations.
-People ask for pics of the tools. Zteam posts them.
-People marvel at the pics of the tools.
-People ask about the release of tools or research. Zteam says "no extractor, just injector."
-People throw a hissyfit because they're not getting everything.

This is what happened:

-Zteam posts pictures of extracted content and tools, and says that they're releasing no extractor, just the injector.
-People throw a hissyfit because they're not getting everything.

---

Zteam doesn't HAVE to release anything "for the good of the community." They made tools for themselves based off their research that are relevant to THEIR mod. Their tools aren't relevant to anyone else mods to be honest; everyone just wants them to be relevant. If you think that these tools are relevant to your work, then research Halo 2 map cache files and data tags yourself and make them yourself.

Now, pipe the fuck down before I start banning people. This drama is as old as the Halo community itself. Any more "TIEM TO SAEV TEH DAY FROM NAZI MODDER" posts or bickering because you're not getting everything they're making will be met with a smack to the face.

About the picture in question, is that the one where Masterz gets nailed by the train?
