How to ASCII(Alt Codes) sv_name for gameserver?

[flamewheel06]

so, i recently bought gameserver (haloceded.109)
and im using Gandanur to change server version to 1.00ce. everything is working perfectly and the server is up and running.
The problem is I want to have my server name with ASCII characters (Alt Codes) but it doesnt let me and resets the server to default "Halo" name.
gameserver dont let me replace the haloceded.exe which i have patched with ASCII.

is there any ways you can use ASCII (alt codes) for server name>
Please Help
Thank You.

can you run applications? or if not maybe cheat engine i have the addresses for all server names and the most used dedi.exe's

He can't, he purchased a server at gameservers.com it sounds like. Meaning they control the files.

Unless you can convince them to give you access to the haloceded.exe file you're SOL.

Thought you could interchange the files for apps, did they change that recently?

[flamewheel06]

i can replace any files and upload any files but i cant not upload or modify haloceded.exe.
it gives me access denied saying i dont have enough previlages.

I have seen other servers with ASCII character which are hosted gameservers but im unable to do anything to haloceded.exe

while ago like 6 months ago i was able to upload modified haloceded.exe
but i bought this new subscription on a new name and i cant do anything to haloceded.exe but im able to upload any other files except haloceded.exe

it would be possible with a modified strings.dll....can't recall that anyone did this though.

would you do this? xD

Yeah, gameservers.com changed their policy and don't let you manipulate haloceded.exe anymore since they think that will prevent people from host servers on 1.00 for pirates.

Just a note, in the future I'd reccomend getting your servers from this dude (http://www.noghost.net/hosting/) instead of gameservers, since you get total control over your server and what's on it.

Using non-ascii was cool back then, kinda useless if people sort on ping though. You could also try an external tool that changes the servername, if you're allowed to have a second exe 'accessing' the server exe.

[supersniper]

just find the addy's realtime in the mem. then map an app, and have the app say what you want the server name to be. instead of hexediting...

[Vicky]

Nobody mentioned hexediting...

[chrisk123999]

The old way to getting non-ASCII characters in the server name was to hex edit the default server name. The new way is simply disabling the non-ASCII check (normally via hex editing).

There's other ways, like i mentioned.

That's what I was gonna do super but I wasn't sure if he can run other apps on gameservers.

:/ hm kinda limited with what you can do.

You are not allowed to run other apps.

Like I said, modified string.dll.

Sounds like the best way.
That or find a new host.

Ok so I got bored and wanted to do some research. I wanted to write a proxy dll for strings.dll so you can load your own code without touching haloceded in shameful places.

Strings.dll does not have an export table, nor does it seem that Halo CE DED uses it besides loading it?
