Halo 2 Section House Cleaning

Post by JacksonCougAr »

I would appreciate it if a staff member could take some time out of their day and move all non-mods, and skins to their respective proper sub-forums.
Map skins and Vehicle skins to the skinning thread, Utilities and Utility related stuff to utilities section. I would also recommend that the main threads have their respective sticky topics updated. The utilities is especially outdated and some of the sticked applications should simply be let go by now.
Yelodebug should be sticked as it is relevant to todays modern modding applications.

Thoughts on this matter from other users are welcome: I would be interested to see what active Halo 2 modders think should be stickied and what should not. "Legacy" stickies are simply cluttering the thread now.

I disagree with some choices that should be unstickied. First off Prophet should be unstickied. Halo Mutator should stay as its the ONE OS Independent program that is actually good. Insolence should stay.. Ch2r should be unstickied. ScriptTools should be unstickied.

That is all.

Prophet and CH2R should both stay, I believe all the ones you picked should be unstickied Jackson.

And ScriptTools should definitely stay.

You have to understand I am judging off of common use and the attribute of being up-to-date. Perhaps a new thread can be made to combine the non-windows Applications instead of having two, very unused threads.

I have to argue against that: Halo 2 ES is simply a map resigner: something that almost all modding applications have already making it pretty moot to have yet another application just for that. I call it a "Legacy" sticky.
Insolence: maybe. It's of debatable use. Although I recognize that its meta shifting code is superior to that of Entity.
ADI: never used it: I fail to see how it is superior to anything else out there: another "Legacy" sticky.
UberAnalyzeTool should be stickied, I agree.

Can we get a staff to take some action please? I suggest a general discussion thread on the Halo 2 boards to get the public, active users', opinions on what needs to be there and what is just 'taking' up space.

Well I personally don't see it as a big issue, and I think you all seem to disagree with what should and shouldn't stay stickied. I'm not just going to go on what one person wants.

I agree with him on the legacy stickies. If they were groundbreaking in their time maybe move them to Outstanding(Encryptomatic Signature?)...

If someone (Jackson) feels so strongly about this, why not make one thread where you can link to the 'legacy' stickies with some brief information, I can then sticky said topic and unsticky the 'legacy' ones.

What we could do is (if and when the wiki is put up) add a utilities section with link to all this apps there too. Along with a small screenshot and a description and author.
