Halo Custom Edition and Halo Combat evolved new patch (Download it!) May 8, 2014 12:07 PM

Just out of curiosity, which hosting companies host your dedicated servers? I have contacted a fair few and got about half a dozen smaller hosting companies willing to redirect all GameSpy Server requests to my master server to support the in-game server list after the 31st... looking promising so far :) All that's needed now is for more people to redirect their clients to it to be able to see servers in-game after the 31st. Interesting times ahead Edited by tavrinn on May 8, 2014 at 12:11 PM

If you got a custom mod like OS etc simply patch the host files instead. Put this into a notepad file, save it as a .bat file and run as admin: SET NEWLINE=^& echo. ; Patch Halo CE FIND /C /I "halom.ms1.gamespy.com" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^60.240.173.36 halom.ms1.gamespy.com>>%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts FIND /C /I "halom.master.gamespy.com" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^60.240.173.36 halom.master.gamespy.com>>%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts The server currently has all the dedi's on CE & FV stored... so when the 31st of may comes along you'll still see all the CE servers if ur client is pointing to it :D Edited by tavrinn on May 8, 2014 at 10:56 AM

You can make a bat file to edit the hosts for you too. Copy & paste the following into a text file and save it with a .bat extension. Then run it as Administrator SET NEWLINE=^& echo. ; Patch Halo CE FIND /C /I "halom.ms1.gamespy.com" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^60.240.173.36 halom.ms1.gamespy.com>>%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts FIND /C /I "halom.master.gamespy.com" %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %NEWLINE%^60.240.173.36 halom.master.gamespy.com>>%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Game-spy master servers shutting down - May 31, 2014 Apr 10, 2014 08:34 PM

Black Crypt if u want a replacement master server at a minimum I already have one running for halo trial, battlefield, never winter nights and a few other titles which were discontinued in the initial 2012 shutdown. The server is compatible with CE and FV. All that is needed is a simple host file redirect on the client side which would take all of 20 seconds to do. After that it would operate as it normally would. I also save a db of the currently online servers from gamespys master servers too. What this means is when gamespy shuts down on the 31st, clients who did the host file redirect will still see the last latest server list.

All the patch does is basically redirect all GameSpy domain names to point to my spare GameSpy server. I figured the patcher would be an issue with custom .exe's for CE & FV so a much cleaner & easier way would be to redirect the domain names in the hosts files. The server itself fully emulates GameSpy's protocol 100% for Halo, NWN, Battlefield and a few other titles. What this basically means is if you redirect to this GameSpy server it will function as CE does now; you can access the server lists and host like you normally would without any issues. I originally wrote the server for Trial because GameSpy discontinued support for it in 2012. I also had a few other people hassle me to help bring a few other titles back to life too... The server is there. I already host it for Trial and a few other titles already with great success... you guys are more than welcome to use it for CE & FV if you need it. When GameSpy goes down on the 31st of May it will have a backup of the latest server list for all versions of CE & FV so you can still see the servers online :D Oh before I forget; here's the host file entries you will need for CE & FV: Halo CE Client / Server Host Entries: 60.240.173.36 halom.ms1.gamespy.com 60.240.173.36 halom.master.gamespy.com Halo FV Client / Server Host Entries: 60.240.173.36 halor.ms6.gamespy.com 60.240.173.36 halor.master.gamespy.com Proof Of Concept at the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySlrsMYYaSs |
