[homebrued]

No luck there Dwood.

Where can I aquire the dedi executable?

you mean the default HCE dedi .exe file?

should be in your halo custom edition folder by default

check there and if its not...then im out of ideas

Is there any progress towards this anymore? I notice it's been quiet for a while..

I am back in Germany and I spend more time doing other things...

Since this is more or less a Gamespy problem I gave up on this and leave it up to Kornman to implement this into OS...he knows a lot more about the engine in the first place and seems more dedicated to Halo than I do. This whole thing was just really a test which began from "The fuck asshole" to "Oh this is great...how does this work?" to "It's not working". I hope Korn will have more luck with his Open Soup.

I am just lurking around from time to time now...the only next computer oriented project will be reversing Guild Wars 2 when it comes out along with some other people. I learned a lot about Reversing and Programming, about Computer Science in general that now I am at a point where further 'learning' will consume a lot of time which I am not willing to spend.

Not that this little 5liner ASM code took a lot of time though :P

Programming is never the hard part, it's actually engineering designs and logic where the complexity enters. It's like how anyone can "paint", but it's not always art. Spagetti coders are the compsci equivalent to "artists" who throw sploches of paint on a canvas and call it "art". Interestingly enough, both tend to earn income somehow...

It'd be interesting to include this in OS, but since it's mainly dedi only, it's not high on my todo list (vs systems which apply to both client and dedi builds of the game). I don't like to just throw features in (at least, not anymore) so it wouldn't just be about taking Pat's code and tossing it into OS. It'd also be about integrating it into the settings as well (so a user can specify the other game build to broadcast for, and at what rate should OS switch game channels, etc).

[OpsY]

I understand Pat. And Korn, I guess the good thing is this could somewhat fuel up a bit more the Halo CE community... now of course if we could do the same with Halo PC and bring people to see Halo CE would be fun but stupid Gearbox had to improve the shaders ^_o

an easy work around for this issue that crashes the server is, to have some other/an modification of this application to check the server status and auto close the server.
basically just check if the ?/16 players status message is still coming in every few seconds, if it doesn't for like 1 minute or 30 sec close the server.
then a reboot application like xapp could reboot the server.

Im hava plan i know someone that can do this.

Edit: He said he can make this probably have it done by 2maro yayay! do you want a copy of the application? lol i think me an you are the only people that care about doing this cool switcherooo

The Modacity servers still use it, but we don't seem to be having that specific freeze issue anymore.

That said, Skyline integrated Pats Unify code into his own application which makes it a bit different.

Ok so the guy found an easy way to do it he used one of my servers to test. He put it on a 20 second interval.
