I often play on servers where you have 3 weapons or infinite ammo, or both. Is there some kind of server software that allows the server admins to do this? I would like to set this up for LAN games with my brother.

Oops sorry wrong link here ya go.

Thank you, but I am stupid and need more help. I got the thing installed and set up the ini.txt file. It was fun to randomly kill my brother. (He thought he was getting sniped :) ) However, I don't see what commands to use to so that all players start out with three weapons, only the commands to give individual players different weapons.

So this will give each player a plasma pistol, a plasma rifle, and a shotgun on game load and respawn? And I can swap each of those out with any weapon?
I have some other questions about sapp commands, should I continue this thread or start a new one?

P.S. Thank you all Halo modders who learned by doing and saving the rest of the effort by sharing your experience.

Okay, so right now my server works, but everything is horribly organized, and I want to move the files to a separate computer, but I don't know what I need. So, what do I need to download and install to get a Halo CE server running? Do I even need to install Halo CE?

Okay now that I have done that, the server works, runs SAPP, etc., but it won't load the events.txt file. Any commands put in there it ignores.

Thank you, that worked. Another SAPP question, when you press f2 in game, there is a server message. How do you set up/ change that?
How do you get the server to display a message at random and or timed intervals?

Go into your game settings to change the key bound to sv_messages.

Thank you, that works well for what I had in mind, but I have a question about the event system. I have been trying to use a "naughty" command to start when the map starts, as follows: event_start 'spawn vehi “altis\vehicles\truck_katyusha\truck_katyusha” redfront'
I thought it would spawn a katyusha truck in front of my base, (redfront) but it won't. I spelled the name right, I can teleport myself to that location, and using the command in the terminal works to spawn the truck, so I can only assume I got the syntax wrong for the event system.

A script would be more appropriate for what you're looking to do, and the best place for such requests is here: http://opencarnage.net/index.php?/forum/60-sapp-script-requests/
