Multiplayer Halo? Get HALO SERVER LISTER: HaloServ

[idbuythatforadollar]

MAJOR UPDATE: Version 4 Released

HALO SERVER LISTER: HaloServ

Well, since the official internet list doesnt work in the Halo 1.5 alpha, so I decided to make my own Halo net list.

This program will work best if YOU use it, and add your PC as a server, if you ever host.

HOW IT WORKS:

To play in a multiplayer game, click the 'Get List' button, and find a server that is active and has a good ping. The list is stored on a central server.

If you regulaly host, click the 'Add Server' button, and your server will be added to the central list. Others who download the program will be able to see if you server is running, and connect to it.

Please download, and add your IP, to maximize the number of servers available.

you will need the VB.NET runtimes if you dont already have them. downlaod info in readme

SCREENSHOT

DOWNLOAD version 3.0.1

-----------------------------

To ensure abuse doesnt occur, you can ONLY add your own IP as a server. If you know of a good server that you dont own, email me it @ jbistoogood[at]hotmail.com, or post in this thread.

Special thanks to our very own -=||MIKE||=- for alpha testing.

cheers dude

[seethru]

nice work, thx

:s Says they're all dead (including mine, when I check and have the game on in the background)

[idbuythatforadollar]

it uses a php backend, to accept the ip and server name, and I suck at php... so maybe someone can help me with this:

when it recieves a host and IP, it checks to see if the ip already exists. if so, it ditches the request.

how do i make it so that if it receives a request from an existing IP, it will replace the server name in the existing record for that ip with the server name supplied?

ip file layout:

servername::ipaddress[char13]servername::ipaddress[char13]servername::ipaddress[char13] etc

thanks.

yeh, until a few more people download the program and add their servers, there wont be much to choose from.

omg i just played on a server without lag, this app rocks x 2 :D

I'm guessing it's "test2" ???

I was just about to join KICK_XP for a game, but can't get in now :p

Any way of removing servers ???

Edit: I get this when it's loading - anyone else get that ???

error message: i think thats Halo being a beta-itch, my program seems to load normal servers fine, tho some clarrification it works properly would be good :)

[oojaxxoo]

i just put a server up...the 128 one...join guys!

omg i just played on a server without lag, this app rocks x 2 :D

possibly mine :rolleyes: i kicked ass but server crashed, i found it crashes when ppl lob greandes hi into the skill

[oojaxxoo]

ummm...why is it that "a network error has occurred" show up after like 2 minutes of play? i can host fine with just the ip...but it cuts off using this

ys mine does that, i think its cause we are using the lan netcode which is highly unstable and insuitable for internet play and can cause it to crash :no:

[UnaBonger]

Hmm, I just keep getting "cannot join game" :(

[idbuythatforadollar]

yeh i updated the couldnt join game bug. that was due to me not putting on the end of the halo.exe run command ':2249' :D fixed now.

[Liquid]

http://halo.liquidm3dia.com?? we need some halo guru's like u to be admin's and mods too

sorry mate, no intention to disrispect your work etc.

i just had this idea when it came out and was waiting for my download to finish so i could work out the protocol.

if you add me to your msn list, we can chat about your forum.

(i also want your help on a certain part of the program: how were you able to execute the game without the program being in the same folder as halo.exe?! :wacko:)

make sure you installed the latest version. I fixed a serious bug that meant you couldnt connect when using the 'join server' button
