Hello I am Kind of new to Halo CE so please bear with me,

I downloaded some single player maps last night that you can start and play in ce regular mode, but the game time keeps running out on me, how do I set game time to something like infinity or at least so it won't run out on me!

Also I downloaded some single player maps and in the notes section on the download page it had (This map WILL NOT PLAY in Regular CE mode, start ce in consol mode and type map_name cleanup and that will start the game Enjoy!) - Also some say to start in Dev-mode (I assume that is for Developer Mode) and hit you consol key and type map_name retribution. What is your consol key?

Thanks in advance, BOSS

P.S. If there are other CE Users who have questions please feel free to post them here!

Sorry, but I don't quite understand your first question. Presuming that you have console enabled on the shortcut you use for CE, however, the correct button to press would be the ~ key.

The console key is the one on the left of the numeral 1 key. Has this symbol on it ~. And it has to be active as paradox mentioned. Go to your Halo CE icon on your desktop. Right click it, go to properties. Then in the target line, at the end of what is already there, the haloce.exe" type in -console. So like this.

haloce.exe" -console Only enter the -console part. That part before it was just an example of where to look.

Thanks for the Help Guys,

as far as the first question goes, some of the single player maps lets you play them just by creating a LAN game (in this case I select Slayer) and start the game, But the Game timer keeps running out on me just like it would if you were playing a regular multiplayer game online say at bloodgulch. So what I'm asking is how do you make it to were their is no time limit?

Also Scopean, I got the Console key, but how do I load the game - everytime I try to in regular ce mode it minimizes and has an Exception box then I have to close CE and start all over again! can you please explain the entire process of how to load these singleplayer games via Consol Mode, I really would appriciate it! Also do I need to start the Game in Developer Mode?

Thanks for the help and please bear with me as I am very new to CE, BOSS

Just like in Halo PC for the multiplayer levels you need to edit or create a custom game type that and set the time period to unlimited

You read the banner at the top of the single player download page but you failed to follow the link that says:

How Do I Play the Single Player Campaign Maps in Halo CE
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?nid=386

That article explains the process in detail.

Thanks UXB, I didn't see the link on the other reply, That answers my question perfectly.

Sorry I know it seems lame but, how do you edit or create a custom game type?

Thanks for all the Help Guys, BOSS

P.S. Please Check back frequently to this post as I may have some more questions, Thanks

Hey, can you play single player maps multiplayer style? As in your friend gets online with you over the web and you play a level?

Actually my keyboard has the ` and ~ key. It's the same key, you just use shift to change from ` to ~. I dunno if everyones keyboard is the same around the world.
