HSE (Halo Server Extensions) Is BACK!

[supersniper]

Well I've been posting at halomods for a while and this is for those of you who know what HSE is and liked it well Fallen_Angel (one of the creators) is now working on a brand new HSE.

Fallen_angel: If I still had the source code, I could probably help you out, but it's long been lost...

But... good news...
Tonight I've started planning a new version of HSE, written in .NET, as a windows service.

Planned features so far:
- Kick, Ban, etc. voting
- Map voting
- Map Cycle
- Admins identified by CD hash
- Stats Tracking
- HTTP-based management console
- Plugin-based architecture

If you know of anyone who might be interested in helping out, by all means point them in my direction.

Obviously, I'm going to require beta testers as well, so if you know of anyone willing to try this on their server, let me know.

Website coming soon...

So wait. Can I, some random fuck, use this in my server? Or do I have to be a dedicated server. I really dont understand how any of that crap works...

if it ever gets released, anyone can use it.

pretty sure you'll need to run a home dedi from your comp tho.

Well yeah... fallen_angel has disappeared (again) but I was searching my old harddrive that i found in my basement today and I found a bunch of all halo apps and stuff and i also found a text file that contained the chat comands for HSE.

Using HSE in game

HSE supports many commands, and the availability of these commands will vary from server to server, as different admins may want different options 
enabled and disabled.
Commands are passed to HSE via chat text in game - HSE looks out for certain command 'tags', then reacts when it encounters one.

Voting relies on these command tags to operate.
You pass commands to the voting module of HSE using the /vote command tag.
So, for example, to get a list of available maps, you should type /vote maps, and HSE would return a list of maps available for voting on.

The voting module supports the following commands:
changemap     Starts a vote to change the current map and mode
                                /vote changemap <map> <mode>
resetmap     Starts a vote to reset the current map
kick     Starts a vote to kick a player from the server
                /vote kick <playerID>
ban     Starts a vote to ban a player from the server (usually moderator only)
                /vote ban <playerID>
maps     Shows a list of maps
modes     Shows a list of game types
players     Shows a list of player ID's and Nicknames

When voting to change the map, you should replace <map> with the filename of the map you wish to load, minus the .map, or use HSE Map Shorthand 
(eg. bg for bloodgulch, di for DeathIsland, tl for timberland)
The same applies for the <mode> - either use the full name is it is only one word long, or use HSE Shorthand - s for slayer, ts for team slayer, koth for 
king of the hill etc

PlayerID's are either the player name (case sensitive), or the text ID followed by the ID number from the /vote players command.

Now if anyone wants to have a vote system on your server just set up HSE (Which is such a hassle btw) and set admins and there you go. They still work with 1.08 I tried and yeah there you go.

Also a download to HSE you can get from here (thanks to bacon for hosting): http://www.hivclan.net/stuff/HSEBetaTwo_RC2.exe
