obviously, by the name "dedicated server" the program is designed to be run on a computer for the sole purpose of being a server.
You aren't supposed to be able to run the halo client at the same time, and join the server.
BUT, wouldn't it be kinda good if you could? I mean, I would love to just start a simple server from within the halo client, but when that gets to the end of a game, it requires user input ("press enter") to continue, so I cant just go away and leave it.
I would like to be able to start a dedicated server for others to play on, but be able to chip in with the client, and play from the same computer...
Obviously that isn't ideal, I might cause a bit of lag, but that's what I'd like. (maybe a bit greedy, but hey I paid for the program!)
At the moment, I have a dedicated server running as follows:
"haloceded.exe -exec dediinit.txt -path C:\Halo CE\dedigametypes -port 2665"
There are six people out of ten playing on it.
When I try to join it from the halo client, it claims "The game has closed down"...?
Any ideas?
