If he can't connect to it then you do not have your port forwarding set correctly or the server is reporting the wrong IP number. Find your External IP (http://www.whatismyip.com ) and have your friend try connecting using direct IP. If he can't then your ports are not open or forwarded correctly. If he can then have him check the IP number that is being reported in Game-spy
You won't be able to if the dedicated server is either running on the same PC as your client or your client is also behind the router/firewall.

If the dedicated server is running a a separate PC from your client then it is trying to connect to your external IP address from your internal network and the router will not route traffic that way. You will have to use a direct IP connect to the machine it is running on most likely a 192.168.?.? number.

If you are trying to run both the client and server on the same PC then your are getting port conflict where both the client and server are trying to use the same ports. See:

I started a dedicated server and can't connect to it

on the screen that show your server list, look to the top left corner and you'll see a padlock symbol.click on that to show password protected servers.and also click on the small square icon beside it, this will show more servers.


also click on the filters option and set them to allow more servers to show up.

Quote: --- Original message by: UBE Chief
To expand on that...

Make sure all those buttons ally told you to click are BLUE. If they are green, then you have disallowed password-protected servers and only allowed dedicated servers to show.

As for the filters, the best way to make more servers pop up is to set "Show Empty Servers" to "Yes", "Show Full Servers" to "Yes", set "Ping" to "All", set "Gametypes" to "All" and set "Show User-Created Maps" to "Yes".

If I'm right, position weight is used for how important it is - more important then more chance of going there.

Position time is used to make AI stand in the move position and look around etc. (useful for making base defences) Anyway, you'll see it when I'm done with my newest map.

Find my map warzonegulch and hack it, then look at blue team ai encounters. But, this map is old and I've found way better ways for AI. And if I could upload my video on progress on my new map, you could see how it works.

Don't forget to connect the script to the map. I'm not scripting for Halo CE, so this also helped me. But I think it won't work for multiplayer:D

Make a squad, a platoon, and then make them maneuver(or w/e was that word) to NONE but they MUST be near the player. So they will just follow the player and shoot stuff. You can also make them throw nades which makes gameplay better.

Yeah IIRC this should work. I just don't know if you have to add an IF statement to the platoon settings.

Create a txt file and put this in:

(script continuous i'm-a-sexy-beast
(ai_follow_target_players [ai encounter])
)

replace [ai encounter] with the name of the desired encounter

save the script as Muscl3r is a Beast

Now go save as

select all files (instead of txt)

now save it as Muscl3r is a Beast.hsc

Create a folder in data\levels\mapname

call the folder scripts

if ur map is located in levels\Muscl3r_is_Angelic then create the folder in data\levels\Muscl3r_is_Angelic

Chuck the hsc file in their then run Sapien

Open ur map and go file, compile scripts

Save then compile ur map

My guess is that the ai will just stand there

Quote: --- Original message by: Muscl3r
I think its because your the only player in the game so you are on team 0 which is what the ai is set to and the other team is set to team 1.

You'd have to make a different variant of the map where each ai is on its own team (excluding team 0 because that is the team the player starts on)

Q4:
After this time, AI's wont count as squad but single units.
Q5:
You can add firing positions around, and make AI guard at guard position and give it "magic sight" (ability to "magically" see every enemy on the map) so they will just go there and try to kill enemy.

For making AI move randomly - you need to place move positions and IN SQUAD SETTINGS make initial state (or w/e was that) to "moving randomly" - NOT LOOP.

Q3:
1. place many move positions, or use magic sight and set them to guard at guard position. tho you'll need to put a lot firing positions else they'll suck

Q1, you will only get points by killing players. not AI.

Quote: --- Original message by: kirby_422

No, use ai_attach making legitimate players playing into AI, then when the ai infected player is killed, its still counted as the player (of course, this drags players out of sync. the AI property over rides most of the player properties, so their positions are no longer sent between machines.. but you could still have one carry a flag, or have points awarded for them dying) when a player is turned into a AI, you need something like cinematic_start to get them moving (inturn, also preventing you from moving. bump possesion is fine as long as on the machine you want them to look as AI from, they have left their body (hord everyones minds in one body) of course, it flips out when you start killing their corpses with this hivemind..)
