Hi guys, I have a question, possibly a real stupid one sorry if it is :).
It's about the version of halo dedicated server; you guys use the nomenclature Halo CE
which is kind of confusing when I'm looking for combat evolved content.

Yes I have read the article here about what is Custom Edition over Combat Evolved but I downloaded a file that is called haloded.exe (version unknown) circa 2004 and I'm not sure what game it is aimed at i.e Custom E or Combat E. My game (combat) dosnt see the server
and when i try join it with direct IP it says client is older than server.

Ok so two main questions:

(i) Is haloded.exe aimed at Combat or Custom?
(ii) How do I determine the version of the exe file?

thanks in advance

there is no halo pc (Combat Evolved) content on this site. you should reinstall halo Combat Evolved and update it. i'm not 100% sure, but i think that "haloded.exe" is for halo pc.

Halo Custom Edition is free "addon" for halo pc (Combat Evolved for pc) you can download it at here: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=410 when it askes for product key, type your halo pc product key. then go to your Halo Custom Edition's directory (I.E. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition) and follow this tutorial , if you don't have "haloceded.exe", you should update your game by runing "haloupdate.exe" which is in same folder.

Halo Custom Edition DOES NOT replace halo pc, it has its own folder.

haloceded is for making a dedicated Halo CE/PC server.

You are correct. haloded.exe + Halo Combat Evolved server and haloceded.exe is fro the Halo Custom Edition game
