Hey, I'm working on a large project right now: creating a DVD disk (for personal use only, of course) of all the best Halo media I can find.

Such files are:
Halo CE CMT
Halo CE halo 2
edgen's Halo Music and that other music stuff like "Strings and Fast Sketch"
Red vs. Blue series
Halo Zero
Lots of mods (not a lot of CE yet)
Halo PC modding stuff

Is there some other good stuff I've missed?
Also, can someone give me a good list of Halo CE modding stuff?

How about you just buy the RvB DVDs, burn HPC mods on one disk, and CE maps and client on another?

If I see you selling copies on eBay I will then proceed to stab you. In the eyes. Repeatedly.

Instead of doing it with a knife, use a really hot french fry.

How about you use an archiving program, like winrar, they only take up half the space when you compress them. Plus you can compress multiple times. Grab a DVD, zip up all your mods, and burn them onto it. Problem solved. If you don't have a burner compress it 2 or 3 times and put them on a 1 gig flash drive.
Or you can always just compress them and put them in a file on your desktop.

First off, as I clearly stated, it's for personal use, so duh, of course I wouldn't.
The reason I'm doing this is because I need to clear my computer of all that Halo data. Right now the folder I have is 2.96 Gig even without CMT.

Also, most of my files are compressed, except the jpg screenshots I took, which winrar only compressed from 26 to 25.7 MB. The part with the mods is that I may have to go back and "ppf" them so I can cut about 90% off. I may end up putting them on 2 DVDs as I am sure I will end up with more than 4.1 Gig of files.

Thanks for the programming help, but my main question was if anyone knows of any "must have files" that I may have forgotten.

Why not just get a bigger HD? My Halo folder (Original, Custom, HEK, backups of the original Halo maps folder (me likey HMT) plus a bunch of apps and whatnot) is 10gb. Or, if you would like an exact number, 10,760,863,744 bytes.

Psh, that's nothing. My Fraps folder has exceed 60GB before. But yeah, getting a bigger HD solves this problem big time. I used to suffer with a 40GB hard drive; now I have a 250GB HD. Problem solved.

Meh, I don't have Fraps, so no uber-massive files for me. My HD is about 50GB.

Well, I have a 74.4 Gig hard drive- but it's a laptop, and well, I'm...how should you say...clumsy.
3 years of screenshots convinces me that going out and spending 40¢ isn't all that much of a sacrifice.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, know of any good CE programs, or even some other good videos, maybe even some awesome CE mods that rival the CMT and the Halo CE Halo 2 mods?

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

you better not be that stupid son of a -blam!- who is practicing copy right infringement and scamming poeple on ebay with CE maps.

750 gigs of hardrive space for me. 17 Gbs of screenshots, halo alone. 93 Gbs of fraps footage, halo alone. And 13 gigs of halo ce maps x2, since I keep a copy of ever map. Nope, dont know of any CE mods. Get Fire Team Charlie series though. Team Charlie. 18 episodes, almost all of them hilarious.

Just trawl around the non-map sections of Halomaps.org, there's a bunch of useful programs there. And bitterbanana has a few kool camera mod programs, most koolest of all is the Third Person / FOV prog. 3P + bump possessed Elite = FUNZORZ!!

Oh yes, once AGAIN I will say that I am NOT selling these files: please read the starting post next time.

Anyway, yes I known of Fire team charlie, good one. I especially like the matrix scene. Say, if you know of any good mods that you can't find on the common file servers, please tell me where I can find them. Oh and thanks for the FTC link.

Oh and one more thing, I'm not going to even consider buying the Red vs Blue movies unless they filter the whole series. I think that if I paid for something, I shouldn't have to keep it from certain people. It's sad, it's such a great series, except for the cussing.
