Can somebody give me detailed instructions on how to run halo on a deticated server I downloaded the software once and used it but it woulden't let me name my game or pick the maps.

6 words - GET CONSOLE AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!

How helpful. By the way - you don't 'get' console - it's part of Halo, and it's not necessary to run a DS.

Go here and read up. That's a very basic crash course. Once you're done, take some time and play with the DS. You need to know a thing or two about coding, but you may be able to learn. When you've explored for awhile, come back and ask for more information - somebody will get it to you.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

These people have given you all the info you need. If you can't take the time to read, comprehend and improvise to run a Halo PC server, there's nothing anyone else can do for you here. (EG replace haloceded.exe for haloded.exe etc...)

Ok I got it working now

I know they say the minimum requirements for a server are the same for halo pc minus the graphics card but do you think it'll run good lower than that?

Anything less will give your players noticable lag. I tried to run a PII@233Mhz and it was pretty sluggish. I personally recommend 500Mhz or higher with at least 128MB RAM.
