Making a server tool

[Xtreme]

Searching google is a great way to find information you're looking for. Google can link you to another forum where someone most likely has already asked and answered the same question you are pondering. You just need to know the right question to ask.

Please if you have THAT much time on your hands, use a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that time to use proper, fully developed words and not abbreviations, good. (Use I not i / you not u)

Use google to figure out what kind of tools you'll need, what methods you can use. There are a couple of ways of creating a server tool and I believe rec0's was programed in C# using a Console which ran beside the Halo CE server. That's just one way you can do it.

Lol wow, great thread.

Step one would be to look into hooking programs. You will want a way to execute commands to the server via your C# app. Hooking it will be required to do so, so I suggest you look into that aspect first.

Also think about how you want the auto messaging to work, every minute? Every time some one joins? Random times (that are above a certain limit), every time map changes? Etc, you need to plan these things out. I have no idea about the H2V server, is there like a say command that he could hook into?

For making a tool that sends messages automaticly to the h2v server you don't need hooks. If you would do this manually you can just type Sendmsg "My server rocks" in the console window. That's where you may want to start Xtreme.

yeh the sendmsg thing i know, but how can i make it auto-going?

[Vicky]

Buy two robot hands, a microcontroller, write the software and make them auto-type for you... or, use google, you know what you want it to do, you should know by now what to look for..

existing one on halomaps.org

That don't work on Vista and neither does the updated one (anymore).

existing one on halomaps.org

thanks, i tried it but it didn't work.. you sure it works for vista servers?

edit: lol sorry didnt see your post

2nd edit: can you make it to work for vista or is that impossible?

[Vicky]

It did work on vista and server 2008, but it's just extra work so i discontinued that. I think if you want to host games and all you'd be better off with a server operating system anyway. Server 2008 wasn't out yet when i started it so it's for W2K3 only.

Maybe you can pretty please (PM) Johnnyblaze to use his, i think that runs on any windows OS.

[supersniper]

lol impossible
Johnnyblaz has spent WAY to much time on that servertool (especially for autodetecting halo2boomers and banning them on sight before they can crash the server)
to just give it out to a new coder...

Fat chance at that.
There's always Kiwi's old beta one.
I can link you if your interested.
You can use that as a basis and see where to start.
