star warz

looks good, but tatooine is far from it

Were is the sandy/snowy/other funky Star Wars like terrian skin? Why is the death star upsidedown and such? If it is night, why does the lightmap say otherwise? Where are the stormtroopers and land speeders

Its good I guess, but a litle more time and work could have made it better, trust me

Why did you change it to star warz? Modding is breeching copyright laws anyway:D also the death star is a trademark, might wanna call it the death ztar

Nice mod anyway, try and get some pic's for some more downloads. I would do some pic's if I could be bothered.

Modding does not breach copyright laws, so long as copyrighted material (maps, Bungie .dds files, etc.) are not sold or distributed. It is not a copyright infringement for me to, say, put a sticker on my Xbox and change how it looks, for instance. If you are selling or giving away Bungie-made content, then you break copyright laws. If you distribute your PERSONAL content via a patch over Bungie content, you give people nothing other than PERSONALLY-created material, and therefore break no copyright laws.

For Instance: If I make a skin, I replace the Bungie textures with my personally created textures and distribute a patch to the changes I made with My personal content. I have not given out Bungie content but have made the changes I made available ONLY to those who own the Bungie maps.

If there are copyright laws broken, please explain to me how.

Well, I can see why there's a misunderstanding. Usually jokes are funny...

I would rather write "a 5 min post" than a bunch of meaningless nonsense. One good, well-written post is better than 100 pointless, poorly-written posts.

Also, It is not your place to correct me here. If you need to correct me for some reason, please PM me.

Thats where you are wrong. read the terms and conditions on the MS dashboard. You are correct, modding the .map's is not breech of copyright only if you edit the bungie textures. Installing the modded dashboard on to your xbox is (or installing a mod-chip e.t.c) this makes modding illegal and does breech copyright laws.

What was a joke, Im really quite confused.

Tip of the day: Use quotes.

EDIT: Sorry about the double post! I forgot that it didnt merge. Could a mod please merge them together and delete this one. Thanks.

No, this does not breach copyright laws. When you perchase something, you are giving certain rights allowing you to dismantle, modify, or even f**king destroy that item. Softmodding is not illegal even though the files that are involved in the softmod installation are copyrighted.
Modding Halo 2 isn't illegal if you own a legal copy of it because of those "special rights" gained by purchasing a copy.
It is only a breach in copyright laws if you distribute the files contained on the disk, content maps from the xbox HDD, or the xbox files from the xbox HDD.
*thats why we use patches*

Well, read the terms and conditions.
I also emailed Microsoft and asked them if modding is illegal and they said yes, because you have to install the new dashboard. Maybe they're wrong.

duh, modding isn't illegal. i talked to bungie, and they said "now that modding your xbox is legal, we don't care if you mod halo 2, just dont talk about it with us"
