HSE: What happened to it?

Abyll · Post by **Abyll** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 8:02 pm

I saw the HCEL server, with the nifty chat commands, and decided I wanted something like that to use on my own server.
After lots of searching I found HSE (Halo Server Extensions) which is sorta close, but close enough for me. But, I see its outdated, and I can't find ANYTHING about it anymore. Does anyone know about it, how to make it work, or if theres something similar that I can use?

That specific application was created by a member of [HIV]'s clan. His ingame name was called rec0 and he was a programmer from the UK. However, he is rarely seen around Halo nowadays and he's too busy to manage the app.

He called it the devicator.

An on-going project is iMega, but that is for PC.

Yeah, I know about iMega, but I see its under construction, and a ways off yet, And it's only for pc..

I also heard that rec0's app is kept closely guarded, and not allowed for public use, so I can't use it for my own server.

That's what's makes it so unique. The app is given to well-known, trusted admins for fear of it being leaked.

So far, only [HIV]'s server and the HCEL server use it.

Actually, HSE was a totally seperate project, and a coupe of other guys and myself were the authors.

It's pretty dead now, but I am toying with the idea of updating it to C# in my free time.

I'm sure theres still an installation package for it hanging around on levels4you or somewhere. If you still cant find it and want it, I think I have the installer somewhere (no source though, sorry) drop me a line and I'll send it your way

This was the fifth thread from the top, it is fine. So no, that's not against the rules. I guess 'non-existent rules are rules' now. However, it is in the wrong board. Moved.

pfffft, and to think that people around here used to actually value sensible input to an (admittedly old) topic...

OK, I don't check this place so often anymore, but when did it become so hostile?!

You really weren't.

Meh~
atleast I was here before the halo 3 craze

fallen_angel · Post by **fallen_angel** » Sat Aug 16, 2008 11:33 pm

For those that don't know me, I joined way back in the days even before HMT and all that jazz, although I never really became an active member until I started developing tools (like HaloConnect, to auto-download and apply PPFs to maps for HaloPC), which enjoyed some limited success.

Now it seems I'm just an angry guy with a real job and less time to spend doing modding :p

Meh had the installer since you released until 4 days ago but someone gave it to me anyways...
Ok well I have been playing around with this for a long while and everything seems to be working but whenever I finish with my HSEshell.exe. I apply the settings but it doesn't save EVERYTHING that I did. Like it will delete almost all of my mapcycles. I go from 20 to 4. Also it doesn't save the CD hashes I put in as admins. Could someone help me out. I'll post what my Daemon.ini says:

I thought about just manually adding the mapcycle into here but then I did not know what to put down for the chars because I don't know what that is. Please help.

If I remember correctly (and it is a longshot), the Chars value is how many chars to parse from the above key (count the chars in the commands, and it should come to 218). Just edit the file and change that value accordingly.

When I get some free time (hopefully in a few weeks), I'll def have a look at a new version of the chat commands side of things - shouldn't take more than a few days to churn something out...

EDIT:
oh, and the cd key hashes is just a comma-seperated list (no spaces)

Where can i download this app, which by my server admin history in halo, this is a godsend.

It would be a great addition to the new Halo CE 1.08 Servers my the global gaming community I a m a part of (fullcontactwar.com) has been tinkering with and if it gets popular, we'll steup 2 DED Servers. With custom map weekends and a dedicated FTP and sub forum to boot.

PM me. pl0x.

Just edit the file and change that value accordingly. Yeah it was the amount of characters (including spaces) of the command after Mapcycle=. So yeah that problem is solved.

When I get some free time (hopefully in a few weeks), I'll def have a look at a new version of the chat commands side of things - shouldn't take more than a few days to churn something out... So your going to release a new and less buggier version? (vista compatible maybe)

EDIT:
oh, and the cd key hashes is just a comma-seperated list (no spaces) Oh ok I'll add those in manually too as to they don't show up when I add them. Maybe it's vista i'll try running it without visual themes on.

Also now for the voting system, how do I add my custom to the list of votable gametypes. I added them earlier when making my mapcycle but they didn't show up in the votable area. Also when I refresh my maps in the votable area they don't save in the .ini file so should I add them in manually as well?

EDIT 2: Well I got everything to work with HSE with my server but one thing I don't get is what commands do I use in game to start all the vote stuff and admin stuff?
