The list of Channels contained Channel 0 and Channel 5. Are these channels that just aren't mentioned with SmartEdit on, or was that just a mistype? --Andreasen 18:27, 3 Sep 2006 (PDT)

These are the channels allowed by the code—ts2do 19:36, 3 Sep 2006 (PDT)

You can't be serious. Would you reccomend that all single maps using text should be turned into stand alone mods, just in case somebody wanted to play them in french? That's absurd. Localization isn't something preferable to everyone. Just see "Beverly Hills Cop" in german, and you'll understand what I mean. ...so "it is recommended" shouldn't be there. It's just an option. --Andreasen 14:24, 10 Sep 2006 (PDT)

As far as my opinion goes, all singleplayer content should be distributed as a mod. I can't see any reasons not to, beyond the mild quantity of effort required on the part of the map maker.
It's great for modmakers, because the installation instructions are so damn simple (put this folder into the SourceMods directory and restart Steam) and the play instructions are even simpler (teaching people to typing blah-blah into the console limits your audience by the extent of their technical competence). It's great for players, because they can keep their installations nice and tidy. --Giles 15:00, 10 Sep 2006 (PDT)
