I set up the Maw server. It's running on Halo CE. The password is 'funtimes'.
Here is the map rotation list:

sv_mapcycle_add hangemhigh "team_slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "ctf1"
sv_mapcycle_add icefields "assault1"
sv_mapcycle_add newmombasa "team_slayer"
sv_mapcycle_add wizard "classic_rockets"
sv_mapcycle_add sidewinder "classic_snipers"
sv_mapcycle_add timberland "Ninjanaut"
sv_mapcycle_add zanzibar "ctf2"
sv_mapcycle_add beavercreek "classic_slayer_pro"
sv_mapcycle_add prisoner "classic_oddball"

Make sure you have zanzibar and new mombasa. Side note, guys - you might need to rename the mapfiles for these two to zanzibar.map and newmombasa.map - they usually come as 'H2_Zanzibar.map' and 'H2_New_Mombasa.map', but I couldn't get the server to recognize them like that - If nothing else just make a copy - one with the regular name and one with the other name. Map cycle timeout it 10 minutes, so you won't be playing for 20 minutes if you don't have this done.

Lemme know how you like it!

EDIT: New Mombasa was giving me problems so I removed it from the rotation. Zanaibar did the same thing so I did likewise.. I'll fix it later.

very nice...i as well just finished making my clan's DS and i can relate to your difficulties, well not really actually...mine's in Halo PC so it was really easy to make. :) So i visited the server and it was playing Ice Fields, obviously no one's there of course. but 1 thing: as long as everyone on this forum knows what the password is going to be (goodtimes) is it really such a good idea to put that password in the 'message of the day' ?

P.S in Halo PC check out my server, the name currently is: AFK Clan Tryouts

Thanks, Obaten, I'll keep that in mind - I'll have to take the server down for awhile to fix it all, but right now I don't have the time for it, so I'll leave it up. The original problem was that IBEx wouldn't detect the map, but I can try it manually. Wht actually happened was that after I unzipped the map files into my map directory, Halo CE said that there was a corrupted file and it named the zanzibar and new mobasa map files as the offenders. Because of these, I couldn't start Halo CE. So I deleted them. I'm sorry about that guys - I don't have time to look at it right now, but I want everybody to have a server to play on. I hope you guys haven't lost interest, because everybody was pumped when we started this idea - now that seems to have faded. I hope ya'll have fun!

The server is up right now - quit jabbering and go PLAY!!

I'm In Louisiana in the USA - that's Central Time (GMT -6:00).

jman.... The password should be 'funtimes' Davis and I will have separate pw's for our servers.

Also - The password to my Maw server is not in the MOTD. Even if it was, you have to join before you see the MOTD, so you would have had to already know the password.

You must be thinking of Davis's server. Mine is slightly different. Davis's server is "The Maw Server" mine is "The Maw Server 2".

Please be sure to join my server on Halo CE - "The Maw Server 2". the password is 'funtimes'.

Not to fear, 7-8 pm PST tonight The Maw PC Server will be up and playing CTF/Team Slayer for the rest of the week on Blood Gulch, Ice Fields, Wizard, Hang 'Em High, Danger Canyon, and Sidewinder (maybe Chill Out). Password is going to be 'goodtimes' on the PC server, The Maw Server #1 timed out, and unfortunately I'm over 500 miles away from it right now, but I'll be back to it within 5 hours....many 5's.

Okay guys, I took the server down for awhile cuz it screwed up and I got Zanzibar and New Mombasa running normally. No need to do anything like rename files. The pw is still 'funtimes'. Here is the map rotation:

sv_mapcycle_add beavercreek "Predator"
sv_mapcycle_add hangemhigh "Sniper1"
sv_mapcycle_add prisoner "KTMWTB"
sv_mapcycle_add infinity "Assault1"
sv_mapcycle_add wizard "Showdown"
sv_mapcycle_add H2_New_Mombasa "CTF1"
sv_mapcycle_add timberland "Ninjanaut"
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "CTF1"
sv_mapcycle_add wizard "InvisoRocket"
sv_mapcycle_add H2_Zanzibar "Assault1"
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon "DemoDerby"
sv_mapcycle_add sidewinder "Sniper2"
sv_mapcycle_add icefields "Assault1"

All of these are custom gametypes I made, so let me know whether or not you like them. Enjoy!

I'd like to make some suggestions for custom game types if you don't mind. I have some interesting ones which I can tell you how to set up. Also, I can't use CE until I figure out this DirectX problem.

I welcome your suggestions, Joe - PM me about your DirectX problems, and I'll try to help.

Details on the DirectX problem can be found here.
As for game variants, an excellent one I have is called Alien Warfare (and Team Alien Warfare).

Game Options: Slayer* Death Bonus: Yes* Kill in Order: No* Kill Penalty: No* Kills to Win: 15* Team Play: No* Time Limit: None
Player Options* Number of Lives: Infinite* Maximum Health: 150%* Shields: Yes* Respawn Time: 5 Seconds* Respawn Time Growth: None* Odd Man Out: No* Invisible Players: No* Suicide Penalty: None
Item Options* Infinite Grenades: No* Weapon Set: Covenant* Starting Equipment: Custom
Vehicle Options* Vehicle Respawn Time: 2 Minutes* Vehicle Set: Custom* Warthog: None* Ghost: 4* Scorpion: None* Rocket Warthog: None* Banshee: 4* Gun Turret: 4
Indicator Options* Objectives Indicator: None* Other Players on Radar: All* Friend Indicators on Screen: Yes
Teamplay Options* Friendly Fire: Shield Only* Friendly Fire Penalty: 5 Seconds* Auto Team Balance: No

In Team Alien Warfare, simply set Kills to Win to 25 and Team Play to Yes (obviously). Also, make sure that under Vehicle Options, settings for Side: Red and Side: Blue are the same. This is a very fun game that utilizes the lesser appreciated weapons in Halo, which happen to be quite effective in reality. If you can take out that annoying Fuel Rod wielder, you'll find it's not very hard to adapt to at all. Feel free to ask what my thought process was on certain options; after all, I made many of these more like scenarios than just games with rules. I also have Shootout, Snipers, Phantom Snipers, and Karma Slayer under the Slayer game variants (as well as team equivalents). The only CTF variant I have is called Legendary CTF, but this is a true test of team effort, putting your group to a name of legend should you succeed... Manhunt and Stealth Assassin cover Oddball variants. If you're curious about these other game types, simply ask and thou shalt be enlightened.
