rec0's Devicator Server App for Halo CE 1.08

Yea, the "strings" files are not required for home servers. They're only used on GameServers.com servers to automatically load "haloceded_extended.exe" when "haloceded.exe" is started, I'm not exactly sure what makes them corrupt home server games though.

I put a note in my 1.09 update post regarding this in hopes that it will lessen confusion.

It doesn't corrupt home dedi's it just makes normal Halo CE not work. You could easily make another Halo CE folder with those files.

Not work = corruption. If you try to use the GameServers.com files it will cause the installation directory you extracted to to not work until you reinstall.

And instead of copying your Halo CE folder, which will take a minute or two, you could just extract the correct files! :downs:

This might be a little out of your league, but I have an entire folder dedicated to a dedicated server.

The dedicated server only needs a few files.

Just create a new folder on your desktop called "Halo CE Dedicated Server" (or anything else you want). Copy your Halo CE "MAPS" folder into your new folder. Extract ALL of the 1.09 Devicator files into the new folder. You'll also need an init.txt, so if you have one already, copy it into the new folder as well. If you don't have one, make a new one. Then just run haloceded.exe.

I don't see what's so hard about not extracting a couple files? It takes longer to copy your maps folder than it does to extract the right files.

I can make a simple installer that installs the haloce dedi by it' self if you want?

I'm not having any issues, and I don't see why you guys want to go through all this extra trouble. I edited my 1.09 Devicator update post with a note detailing what files to use/not use on home dedis.

everything works great untill i try to join as an admin... any way to fix this problem???

I have that problem on Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64) too. Many others have it as well. I've only been able to get it working on XP x32.

Shadow and I tried about 6 months ago to get to the root of the problem, but we never figured out the cause (and without having the source, we can't even attempt to fix). It always crashes at a very specific point, if you observe the devicator console window as you join, but that's all we got.

it has something to do with how the app sends the commands/text to the dedi.
also i released the source a longgggg time ago.
