Dedicated Servers

[OneHBPlayer]

Hi.

First, thanks for getting Halo 2 back online!

What is the process to register a dedicated server?

Thanks.

At this moment in time, setting up a dedicated server is more complicated than just running the Halo 2 Dedicated Software.

When Beta is released the process will be as simple as launching -lan normally, but at the moment cartographer doesn't openly support them as it's a hassle to get it working and it also creates further issues the more servers we add, in beta that will be fixed.

Oops. Sorry. I see you have replied. Thanks!!!

Yup, and while beta is progressing you probably won't see it for another few weeks here...
I suggest you read up about it on the development blog http://www.h2v.online

Thanks. Already did read about it. I'm very impatient when it comes to getting things done.

Have you considered making it work where you can also have a local '.ini' file full of dedicated server information? I don't know anything about the protocol, nor how it works. Just a suggestion.

Ok. NOW I'm reading the "development blog". I'm a total novice (as I am in Halo) when it comes to the whole blogging domain.
