Well can anybody give me the instructions on how to get my own Halo CE dedicated Server up and runnung? I've tried to use A Initibuilder that someone created but it gives me an error when I run the exe. And I can't find a link to the newer version of it. SO can anybody help me a different way?

How do you make a certain level keep running over and over again?

Like for instance i want bloodguch ( cutom gametype) to run continously over and over again after the game has ended what would I put in the init.text?

Here is a sample init.txt - remove the "<--- comments"

sv_name "your server name"
sv_maxplayers 10 <--- maximum players is 16 (10 players will saturate a DSL line)
sv_mapcycle_timeout 15 <--- time between maps in seconds
sv_motd motd.txt <--- message of the day text file
sv_public 1 <--- 1=annouce to gamespy / 0=keep private
sv_tk_ban 3 <--- number of team kills befoer ban
sv_tk_penalty "1h" <--- team kill ban time (1 hour)
sv_tk_cooldown "2m" <--- cool down period before forgetting accidential tk
sv_tk_grace "3s" <--- grace period between TK
sv_log_file "haloce" <--- log file name (note: .log will be appended)
sv_log_enabled 1 <--- log file enabled
sv_log_echo_chat 1 <--- echo server console chat into the log
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "variant" <-- map to play with the variant
sv_mapcycle_begin <--- Start the server

If you just put the one map in the init.txt file then it will play it over and over until you stop the dedicated server.

If you want the same map with different variants then add the

sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "variant2"

to the list of maps and it will repeat the list.
