Hello. I'm trying to find the Halo Custom Edition server files so I can give it to a gaming host company. If anyone could help me out I would much appreciate it. I'm currently still looking around.

Thank-you for your time.

In order to get the server files, you have to install the game. The server files are in the installation, and you need a valid Halo PC CD key to use it.

ya, and once you do that, in the Halo CE folder, you make init.txt and then in side of it, you put the following in it:

sv_name "[Server Name]"
sv_public 1
sv_maxplayers 13
sv_mapcycle_timeout 5
sv_motd "motd.txt"
sv_log_enabled 1
sv_log_echo_chat 1
sv_log_file "ChatLog#2"
sv_banlist_file
sv_tk_penalty 1m 1H 1d 7d 14d 0
sv_status 1
sv_rcon_password "[Password]"

sv_mapcycle_add [Map name] "[GameType]"

sv_mapcycle_begin

where is says "[Password]" type in the password.
where is says [Map name] type in the map name.
Ok, so I think you get the idea.

You are correct on one part. The server files are included in the distriution archive however you do not need the CD KEY to either install or run just the Dedicated server.

If you do not want to run a full install routine then you can open the installation archive .EXE using WinZip - (NOT WinRAR) and just extract the contents to to a folder. Then you will need the updated dedicated server exe Hot Fix from Halo Maps to upgrade to v 1.07 (see links below).

You do not need a CD or the CD Key to run just the dedicated server only for the actual client game.

Is there a direct link to the dedicated server files though so I can give it to this gaming server company? Much appreciated for the help so far and thank-you guys again.

Sorry about that one. I'm not quite sure I'm understanding this entire thing. The link you gave me is the one that is used for Halo Custom Edition dedicated servers?

Such as Gameservers.com and lowpings.com.

I'm sorry to be such a burden. But I keep hearing that the Halo Custom Edition installation program has the server files. Then I hear it's entirely different. So I'm not quite sure what to make of all this. Any help would be much appreciated again.

The files we linked are the ones needed to run the dedicated server program. The same program commercial gaming hosts use to run their Halo servers.

Just thought you should know that those links are either dead or not working for me. I've tried updating them for you but if appears Microsoft's links are dead if I post them in the forums.

Give me a break!

If these are not direct enough then your hosting company is giving you the run around. The Halo CE dedicated server files are the same as the full install of the Client files. The Hot Fix is to updated the dedicated server to the latest version if you don't do full client install and update as I outlined above.
