Good to hear it.

What do you guys (bacon and Jcap afaik) think about this.
That is in reference to the "Message of the day" thread bump.

I was going to reply to that with "Stop stealing my ideas before I can post them", but I got a PM from Rook with the results of the first two HCEL games...

ok i see how the ban thing works and everything... but will this ban for custom games?


I still want to have those servers at 2 in the morning with my team and just mess around glitching and all that and using dev mode for some intresting things like super jump and all

will we be allowed to do this? please say yes.

Servers running Synapse need to be registered with Cerebrum in order for stats to be collected. Your screw-around listen servers are not affected whatseoever.

I thought the MOTD used to be hosted by Gearbox?

Oh well, looks like Bungie has it: http://www.bungie.net/halopc-motd.txt

So yeah, if they're kind enough to modify it for us, then that would be great.

The first real games have been posted to Cerebrum. While these games were, sadly, not captured by Synapse, they are real statistics from post-game reports. They're also not complete, PCRs lack information on Betrayals and Suicides, but regardless, they're the first ever real games to be seen on the new Cerebrum!

Game 1
Game 2

I has question, as I've been out of the game for awhile. I read the "FAQ" of sorts on the front page, but I think my question is more defined by what would be possible to customize on a server to work with the Metroid Online mod.

Would I be able to add custom achievements? We don't follow the same gameplay principles as the other mods and maps out there.

Also, are there still server companies out there that would rent a highspeed server out for a month for the release that I could put this system on? I really want to build some hype for the mod, and I have a feeling that wouldn't be possible unless I was able to have a server ready for players to play on, and I think this server plugin would work excellently with teh maytroidz.

Thanks.

Metroid Online may be a big enough thing for us to give it special consideration...

[Heathen]

that might be too complicated sdseraphim.
Plus achievements will come later.

Achievements and medals are a Phase 1 feature, they'll come with the release in August. I should probably write up a note on the release phases...

This should be able to be used on any host. It will be similar to running rec0's app on a host. Upload the files, start the game, and you're good. Gameservers is typically fine with this, and I've had fantastic experiences with them. If you want a host, give them a try.

It would depend on what you're interested in doing with the metroid mod. I know it is a little different, but it can't be too different for it to work with the rest of the system. Achievements wouldn't be a problem (as long as they rely on the stats to generate them).

Also, one thing to note: Make absolutely SURE that you have your own clean tagset completely separate from Halo's default tags.
