Whoops... just read my e-mail.

OK. I will end my whining about this and begin pissing off my parents by giving them a HUGE phone bill... (just downloaded Halo's Gamestock 2001 high quality Mpeg with modem so go figure... )

Its rediculous to ask anyone to decode the music files after downloading. Does everyone have these tools? Does everyone have the technological skill to do so? The answer is no. If we did this, my e-mail inbox would be already bigger than it is now (and its huge) with the same question. Its already going to be a feat to get people to understand where the different kinds of files are supposed to go. Heck, with simiple table modifications in Warzone and Derelict, people had trouble following instructions and installing the right table files. All too often we had people with the table files for the other campaign and had overwritten the others. Some people have probably played through Warzone without actually seeing the Vidar model, which is sad.

Got it IceFire...

It was just an idea and seems that it was a poor idea too... I apologize for any inconvenience...

I didn't realize that people who are waiting for this mod doesn't know how to put the files into right directories. Seems that I have misjudged myself and everyone else here...

normal joe isnt gonna do that and it is likely to reduce quality further anyway, you could expect 45Mb to convert to about 30Mb in mp3 so its not really worth all the hassle

Yeah, really, if it's going to take a few hours what's a few hours more? Usually when I commit to a big multimegabyte download (10MB or above) I don't care how big it is, because if I'm going that far, why not more?

Darkblade...unfortunately it is true. Most people have little concept and will still lack the concept even with a indepth explanation. When you become involved in projects like this and others, you learn quickly that the simplest method of distribution and installation is the best method.

No incovienence at all. I don't mind honest discussion at all. But that doesn't mean I won't squash the idea...the point is to have the facts out in the open and my reasoning behind them. There is method to my madness....and because im more mad than most, does that mean I have more method too?
