SAPP

yup i had it but for some reason it didnt work for me.

This has been possible for many, many years.
Conure released an application back in 06 which converted CE map files to PC.

yup i had it yrs back and somehow i couldn't get it to work. Maybe now i can enjoy it when the update is released.

Ok, another question:

How does one enable the ddos protection? I think I read somewhere that something like that was included in sapp? No?

If not it would be cool if it could be integrated, just ban any ip that requests to much data per second or what ever ddosing does.

[Crenshaw]

very good on the new update sehe. @ sanni add this to your sapp init.txt if its not already there "packet_limit 1024" change 1024 to suitable but stable figure.

It's a DoS protection, not DDoS. You don't have to disturb it, 1024 is a perfect value, not too few, not too much, and it's enabled by default. Note that it's protection is limited, there isn't much one could do against 1 GBit DoS, but it's quite useful everything up to ~100MBit (ofc only if your net is faster than the attacker's).

Since there are no proper CE->PC map converter, I don't think playing CE maps on HPC will be ever possible. Also, I don't see the point anyways why anyone plays Halo PC when there is CE.

[Cortexian]

Yeah, really not point to play PC when CE exists. Better in literally every way.

Could you post here a link pls, because I couldn't find a proper map converter.

ok well sehe i tested the event 'event_aenter' and it works well but what im trying to do is get this to work

event_aenter $area:btop 'say $n "Don't keep here you will be killed in 3sec";w8 1;say $n 3...;w8 1;say $n 2...;w8 1;say $n 1...;w8 1;kill $n;say $n "I told you so"'

btop = bloodgulch:btop:Sphere:40.25 -80.61 1.70:3.00

but it only works if i put the command "kill $n" at the start like event_aenter $area:btop 'kill $n' does it only works like that?

[sehe]

I tried "Harbinger" too, not working either, + it only can convert the maps as a replacement of a classic map.

Quote from Sapp site:

Note: Do NOT use the ' (apostrophe) character in the say command at the events!
(Example: Good usage: "do not", "will not", etc. Bad usage: "don't", "won't", etc.)

[Crenshaw]

Omg that was my fault, how could i have overlooked something so small.
