I've never played PC Halo or created/seen a dedicated session, but its another chance to practice my Google skills.

I googled "Halo dedicated server troubleshoot" and got all sorts of sites. Of note is the one which describes the init.txt configuration file. And from my 5 minute reading of the file, I have a question:

"sv_public 1" appears in your configuration, correct?

It is this value which determines if the server is "...listed on the GameSpy Master Server list."

Beyond that, I don't have any suggestions other than the generic ---

Your firewall is allowing the port used by the server to be accessed, correct? I

If you're in Windows XP, your Windows Firewall has Dedicated Server listed as an exception, correct?

EDIT: Another link I found, while Googling:

"My Halo CE Server Does Not show in Gamespy"
http://www.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=1&nid=238

"I started a server and no one can join the game"
http://www.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=1&nid=237

Google is your friend. Learn to use applicable search terms.

At the moment my init file is this:

sv_name Halo_Dedicated
sv_public True
sv_maxplayers 12
sv_password halo
sv_mapcycle_timeout 10
sv_mapcycle_add timberland CTF
sv_mapcycle_add dangercanyon assault
sv_mapcycle_add gephyrophobia slayer
sv_mapcycle_add bloodgulch "crazy king"
sv_mapcycle_begin


It doesnt display on the lan games list or the internet games list.

If i go on halo trial and create a game people can join.

All 3 ports are forwarded on my router.

I can't think of anything that would change it etc...

Could somebody please write me a init file for a internet game that would be hosted on the gamespy servers and accesible by random people and could somebody also write me one for a LAN game so my friends can join.

Thank you very much, Chris
