How to gain respect and posts

By SmokiestGrunl

Introduction-

We've all seen it before, people joining the forum and spamming to get 200 posts for VIP. By doing this the member gets so much flame towards them that they end up hating the forum and leaving. Well you maybe thinking "What does he know about gaining posts?". Well for one I have the most posts on the forum and second when I first joined the site I spammed, yes you heard right. My first day on the site I spammed the whole Halo 2 mods section. You know what that got me nothing, except for a 2 day ban and a post reset, but that was nearly 2 years ago. So if you are interesting in gaining posts and becoming a respected continue reading.



The Steps-

1. Start making signatures and posting in the GFX Showoff section - Link to section
Reason: Its a good way of getting some easy posts. In a topic that gets a lot of replies you could easily get maybe 5 posts off the 1 topic. If your any good at GFX you may also make it onto the GFX team, which if your wanting a staff position is a good way to start.
Down side: None.
Alternative: Reply to others GFX topics. In saying that don't just post its good. Try to say why you like it, what you don't like, etc.

2. Create Halo 2 mods - Link to section
Reason: This is also another easy way to gain posts. Much the same as the GFX reason and if you make a good mod you can easily become a respected member. Halo 2 modding is also very easy and could be done by everyone, there are many noob proof tutorials in the Halo 2 tutorials section.
Down side: None.
Alternative: Reply to others mods. Don't spam the whole section because you know what will happen when you do that.

3. Create Halo 3 mods - Link to section
Reason: Very much the same as Halo 2 mods and Halo 3 modding is becoming easier every day.
Down side: If you don't create a good mod there is a very high chance that you will be flammed.
Alternative: Same as Halo 2.

4. Reply to help topics - There are 4 help sections, you can tell if its a help section because it will either have help or support in it's title.
Reason: People always need help so its also an easy way to get posts. It helps if you know how to fix it, but you don't need to have the greats brains on the internet. If you can troubleshoot with the user to narrow it down to something that you know then that's always good too.
Down side: Need at least little over basic computing knowledge.
Alternative: None.

5. Post things - Every other section - When following this step post details of what your are posting. Do this with a description or a picture of what ever you are posting. Do not just post "Here is a Halo 3 point generator and here is the download".
Reason: If you have information about anything post it in the other sections. For example if you have a tutorial, post in one of the tutorials sections. If you have a program you want to tell everyone about, post it in the programs section.
Down side: None. If its a well set out post and something that is useful you can't go wrong.
Alternative: None.

6. Post in every topic
Reason: If there is a new post, post in it. If you post something meaningful to the topic and don't just post "good", "great" or "fail", Then you wont get banned.
Down side: Could turn into spam.
Alternative: None.



Tips-

• You can tell if there is a new post by the forum icon being highlighted and not faded.
• Use google to gather information.
• Make suggestions for keeping the forum interesting.
• Use the forums help sections if you don't understand something.
• Send me an email if you need help.
• The number 1 thing don't be scared of posting, if you make a mistake the staff will correct it for you and tell you where you went wrong. The only time that you will get in trouble is if you keep doing the wrong thing.
• Post in the weekly poll that changes every week - link

Conclusion-

Whether your new to forums in general or just this one. Gaining respect and posts can be hard, but it doesn't have to be. If you follow this guide you can easily get 200+ posts in a month, even a week if you stay committed. Good luck and happy posting.

Hello everyone! You're probably asking youself, "Why Entity 1.3.9?" The reason why I posted Entity 1.3.9 is because Entity 1.3.9 is the latest version of Entity that you'll not experience errors with after you rebuild a map using H2C. For example, if you rebuild a map using H2C then try cloning chunks using another version of Entity, you'll experience tons of errors and end up corrupting your whole map and will have to start modding it all over again. I've also pre-installed all the latest plugins to this very date to save you tons of time! Here is WastingBody's original release post.

Hello everyone! I've decided to post Entity v1.3 since it is the most stable version of Entity. Although, this isn't a normal version of Entity v1.3. This version includes AI spawns in the BSP viewer and the latest SCNR plugin to provide a great AI experience. I've reposted this, because the download link was down in the original post. Enjoy!

I stumbled upon a mod that wouldn't work with Serenity, despite looking like it should...Turns out it created more than 16M of patch data for a single block...I guess I never really thought this would happen, so I added support for it...Looking at the map, it turned out the large patch block was caused by a poorly built map, rather than actually changing 16M worth of data...Had this patch been built differently, it would have cut around 26M (pre-compression) off the patch...Thought I'd explain somewhat how and why this happens...

Patches are done by a byte by byte comparison without any sync. So if you take the data abcdefgh, and change it to abcxefgh, the patch will store offset 4, change 1 byte to x...Now, if you take the same data, abcdefgh, and change it to abcdefghx, the patch will store offset 9, change 1 byte to x, or add 1 byte x to end of data, depending on the patch format...Now, because patches do not have sync, if you take the data abcdefgh, and change it to xabcdefgh, the patch is forced to store offset 1, change 9 bytes to xabcdefgh...Because the data is shifted, when creating the patch it will compare x to a, a to b, b to c, and so on, finding that every byte has changed...This is the same for all patch formats, ppf, sppf, or serenity...

Now, where these formats differ, is blocking...Blocking involves breaking data up into set blocks, which minimizes the effects of shifting to a single block...PPF is the base patch format, and because it is not file format specific, only has one block...What this means is, if a single byte is added to the beginning of the file, the shifting effect is seen throughout the entire file...SPPF steps this up a notch, by splitting halo 2 map files into 4 blocks...So any shifting done in any block, will be localized to that block...For example, if a single byte is added to the sound data, ppf would see the effects of shifting well into the meta block, making for extremely large patches...SPPF however, would only see shifting till shortly after the BSP data...So none of the bitmap data, or meta data would have to be included in the patch due to shifting...The major downfall with SPPF, is that the block sizes vary greatly, because their start/end points must be found within the map file header to maximize compatibility...

Now for Serenity...In compliant mode, Serenity will break the map into approximately 35 blocks, plus a separate block for every tag in the map...Thus any changes made to any tag, will be localized, and not effect other tags after it in the map...To have this kind of precision however, the map file must be nearly flawless, so that Serenity has access to all the proper data, and can find correct starting and ending points...Serenity in compliant mode will actually allow holes, as long as they are contained on either side with correct data...So a hole in the center of the bitmap data will be acceptable...Then there is non-compliant mode...This mode treats the entire meta as a single block...It is also much less strict on out of order data and holes, though the lowest offset for data must be in the correct order relative to the rest of the map...What this means, is that sound data can be injected anywhere in the map, as long as sound data exists at offset 2048 where the sound data should start...And model data can be anywhere in the map, as long as the first bit of model data exists after sound data, and before other data...It's fairly easy to get a map to work with non-compliant mode if attempted...

New in Serenity v3.30 is NFG Mode...This will basically use the same 4 points as an sppf patch for those of you who are poor excuses for modders, don't care about the size of mod you're forcing people to get, and in general horrible human beings...This will allow you to take full advantage of the features Serenity provides, though it will mean for larger patches than the other 2 Serenity modes, which will usually prevent from halomods hosting, and thus additions to the serenity repository...It also means SPPF can be phased out the same way PPF has been, and we can all sleep easier at night...
