Is it possible?

Okay... Imagine this... There is a server running on 1.09 in Halo CE. I want to make it appear in the 1.00 list or some other version, doesn't matter. Is it possible to basically create a fake redirect server? A server that once you join it, it makes you join the 1.09 server? :L Just curious

Not without downgrading the networking.

I smell piracy here...

[Sonicscream]

Lol dont worry about me pirating :L I have two legit copies. Box and all.

But... I think it would be alot funner -- even though piraters are evil (in halo) -- to have a full server instead of one that remains empty all the time. I also keep cd key check enabled :L so dont worry.

I think thats possible. There's some servers on PC I believe that you can join from any version.

I think there's servers that you can join from any version, but I don't believe there is a server that appears on both server lists.

You would probably need to spoof the data that is sent to Gamespy. There is one version number that is sent to Gamespy which says which version the server is for. If you can send the same info, but change the version number for each version you want, you would be able to see it on those versions of the game.

Thing is, can everyone from different versions all join and play together?

[Heathen]

No. Closest is the version changer.

Wrong, you can remove the version check off the dedicated server exe and let people join from any version. BrandiniMP gave me one awhile back that let people join from any version. I think his dedicated server patcher can do it. The only problem is it only shows up on one version, but you can direct ip from any.

The only problem is it only shows up on one version

then we arent wrong because it does not do what he wants it to.
