miked06 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I'm working on a cfg for it right now. Under game compatablility, does it need to be filled in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Would assume it would be Halo compatibility. If it doesn;t work then set it to blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGN-Daniel Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Can one dedicated server be run on multiple instances? Or do you need a new game key for each one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miked06 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm still in the process of getting the game installed properly, problem is there are two files that run the server. One that actually runs it, and another that accepts admin commands. I'm not sure if the latter is needed and if it is how to integrate with TCAdmin. Ill definitely have it setup by tomorrow and have it shared on here as soon as I get a working version. As I understand it, one license should cover all your servers, I hope. Just remeber that in addition to having the server installed if people on windows live want to play on it you also have to have your machine connected to gamesforwindows.com (microsofts pc version of xbox live). You also have to have a gold or silver live account (BS in my opinion, MS makes so much money already and all we do is create more demand for their game by renting out servers to people, not actually playing on live or their game). Its all confusing and not alot of support out there so if anyone else knows anything please correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm astounded by the lack of support they offer for their product (I've been searching for days and have found next to nothing other than this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miked06 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Guess what? You need a xbox live account for each server instance you create, that is crap. I found a great link to show how to setup the servers, we are going to have to work together on this for TCAdmin to monitor it ect... You do need the two programs, it seems like one sets up the server, and the other does the administrative stuff for the server. http://forums.haloonwindowsvista.com/forums/thread/1267.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGN-Daniel Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Well I think the Silver XBL accounts are free, I was more concerned about having to buy a game key ($60) just for each instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miked06 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Ya they are free, I gues just make a couple of live accounts to have on hand for when a client wants a server... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetservers Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 When I was goofing around with it the other night, it seemed that even if you send the game out to a box you still need to install it on the destination box from scratch. -bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Most likely it needs the registry entries. You can most likely simply export them from your local machine, and then upload and import it to the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miked06 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Apparently we are trying all this for naught, the game servers running on server 2003 are working properly, only those servers on vista are runnning properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptadmin Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 We have a couple servers running on Windows 2003 Standard SP2 with the Halo 2 DS update, but the hoops that we've had to jump through to get this going makes this game a bear to support with it's current format. You can get free silver live accounts, and you can "re-use" the key - we are still waiting for a reply from our Microsoft contact to determine the issues with that (beware)....... inserting Registry keys and re-registering DLLs are required. The #1 issue is the inconsistency with staying connected to LIVE - sometimes the server will connect - other times it will not. Blink and it's back.... I'm trying to replicate the install on a new box and see if I can create a fresh install and automate the registery/dll portion and then....pray..... More to come.

miked06 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 does the update fix the problem with connecting to live? Right now my test install won't even connect to live properly. No I don't have a cfg yet, I'm just testing to figure out how to make the directory and all files etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptadmin Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Looking for the command line parameter to set the server port. Has anyone located this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leetservers Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Tom, whats wrong with the price? if its cpu and bandwidth intensive you have to charge enough to cover that and a profit. =Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon|Rich Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 You would need to upload your halo2 installation. There are no dedicated server files for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
