Well i'm trying to make a dedi server, i have all my ports for halo allowed inbound and outbound.

I started with a basic init file showing:

sv_name teammod
sv_public True
sv_maxplayers 12
sv_mapcycle_timeout 15
sv_mapcycle_add timberland "CTF"
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon "assault"
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia "slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "crazy king"
sv_mapcycle_begin


I ran the halo haloded.exe it loaded everything but i can not find it on the server list to join it.


well i can see the server name on the hce list but i cant join it. On reg halo it still does not show up

Please help, thanks

I personally do not recommend running the Halo CE game and server on the same PC, but have you tried checking that the ports used in the game are different from the ports used by the server?

For instance, if you do not want to change the port settings in the game, create a .bat file that starts your haloded.exe with the switch "-port (unused UDP port such as 2390 here)", without the quotes and brackets. Then start your server using that .bat file, and edit your port forwarding for your PC and your router(s) accordingly to the new port used by your server.

For more info see http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?nid=239.

yeah i'm going to be running on a separate pc...

Halo custom edition dedicated server works just fine but for regular halo it is still not showing up on the server list

What version of CE is the server running?

Are you able to connect through direct IP?

i'm running 1.10 (i got both the updaded haloceded.exe and haloded.exe files for 1.10 Now i'm just stuck with regular halo not working...

I'm trying on a 3rd computer soon



Fixed Thanks!

You're not running both servers on the same (default) ports are you? If you haven't defined a different port than the default on at least one server you'll run into conflicts I believe.

Had a chat with him on xfire a few nights ago, it was either ports or the init text.
I can't remember but got it running in the end, i was able to join to make sure people could get in okay too, then left him with the link for sapp to setup admin etc on it if he wanted to.
