Halo dedicated server, help?

[machopenguin001]

Im trying to set up a dedicated server, and for all yuou bozos out there that ACTUALLY believed that RUMOr that it costs MONEY to run one,



IT DOESN'T. You just have to go to your start thingy, all programs, microsoft games, halo CE and CHOOSE HALO DED SERVER.

I'm trying to set up a init.txt file, but I don't know where to put it and what to make it with. Can anyone help?

You put the Init into the Halo CE root directory and you edit it with notepad.

Heres some help with creating an init:

This shows where everything should go

; server parameters

sv_name Halocity <-- Server Name

sv_public true <-- true/false - 0/1 to display on gamespy

sv_maxplayers 10 <-- Max clients

sv_password Halo <-- Password

sv_rcon_password halocity <--Rcon Password

sv_mapcycle_timeout 30 <-- Time delay between maps

sv_tk_ban 4 <-- Ban after 4 tk

sv_tk_penalty 5m 1h 8h 1d <- Tk penaltys

sv_tk_cooldown 5m <-- cool down

sv_tk_grace 3s <-- grace

; mapcycle

sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "team slayer" <-- game types

sv_mapcycle_add timberland "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add damnation "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add carousel "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add infinity "team slayer"

; start server automatically

sv_mapcycle_begin

And this shows how the final should look (according to the sample above)

; server parameters

sv_name Halocity

sv_public true

sv_maxplayers 10

sv_password Halo

sv_mapcycle_timeout 30

sv_tk_ban 4

sv_tk_penalty 5m 1d 0

sv_tk_penalty 5m 1h 8h 1d

sv_tk_cooldown 5m

sv_tk_grace 3s

; mapcycle

sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add timberland "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add damnation "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add carousel "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia "team slayer"

sv_mapcycle_add infinity "team slayer"

; start server automatically

sv_mapcycle_begin
