Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2006 6:48 pm Post subject: New Mimesis Content
I'm concerned, so help me out.
This new project from Mimesis (from what I've read) seems to illude to modded maps that can be downloaded and I'm worried about the Halo/Halo 2 maps specifically.
This last summer, the number of sites threatened or shut down was pretty good sized and included even the biggest sites like the "SCENE".
So I present to you this, has anyone sniffed this thing yet and if there are questions about it and it's modded content, does anyone forsee an issue that would bring the likes of Bungie back on our doorstep?
Honestly, the questions I have most certainly are due to a lack of knowledge about this news story, so again I ask your help in understanding or what you understand. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

I don't think there will be any legal issues for this matter. Mimesis has clearly posted on there homepage that if bungie or Microsoft find any reason over the legalities of the "modded content", they should email the mimesis people to notify them of it. All of their content was made by themselves by similar content used on Bungie. But since they aren't giving you the mimesis app. or the content directly, its not really going to get them in trouble. You get the app. from here, or "the usual places". And the content given through that app. isn't technically illegal. Not totally understanding it all but that's what I've gathered on this subject. Hope I shed some light over this issue.

Well bungie is against any type of modding of their game. They say it should ONLY be played how it was shipped at retail. That's also how microsoft feels about the xbox... Most content on Memesis is just a change of skins, to make the levels look or feel different. I know they don't encourage cheating, or have "cheats" in them. Although I have not check out the new content, or what Kai has done to integrate into their service. Maps on Memesis are putting the designer/creator on a pedestal, not the cheater. Just my 2 cents.
edit:
To the post above: Where people get it is not the concern. The concern is wheather or not it can/should be disscussed at this site. _________________

Yes I believe it is an ok topic, because its not like XDK....(shhh) Its content is somewhat fishy but on the site itself it states that its was built off of bungie content d/l but uses its own build using c++. SO I think its ok to tlk about. But yea, it does matter where you get the content from. Because the mimesis app itself is illegal. That is why is mainly only found on xbins or in a link to a link. But certain things in it legal and illegal. But it is completely safe to talk about.

I appreciate the thoughts Moddingbandit & impwiz.
I've got to somehow get time to read about this thing.
It sounds quite interesting but time for me has suddenly become impossible, can't even buy some. It should pass shortly. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th
