Hey

I'm renting a dedicated server for halo at the minute and i stopped the game using the rcon console while in game (it was change a few settings as i uploaded a new init.txt file).

Only problem is i cant restart the server as I can only use the rcon commands while in the game, all i have is ftp access as the minute as the company i rent from i can get hold of. Is it possible to relaunch the .exe file via ftp or even is there a proggy I can use to rcon commands without being in the game?!? I've searched every where but i cant find out how to do this (which may not be a good thing ;p), I have HLSW but the rcon buttons are grayed out on that so i can use that to send the commands :s

One last thing, how can i set some of the maps so they use Heavy Weapons?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help!!!!

=)

Heyyo,

Calm down man, most people on these forums were asleep at the time yo posted thsi I bet.

Ok, so to execute a program via ftp? maybe you could, but I dunno how..

For making maps with heavy weapons only you need to make custom game types, and then put them in the savegame folder. Usually located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\My Games\Halo\Savegames\

just put them in that folder, you need to copy the full gametype folder or it won't work. I'm not sure if dedicated servers also can take custom gametypes from their install path.. but you can check.
