HSE Documentation

This is a placeholder for now.

HSE® is a Halo Custom Edition dedicated server extension. It is ONLY for Halo Custom Edition.

Paired with a central database called HNET, HSE provides a consistent player experience across multiple servers. Inter-server chat is a reality. Communications between HNET and HSE is encrypted using my own RSA/AES256 key-exchange scheme, and that encryption is completely outside any HTTPS or other protocols. This means all HSE/HNET traffic is encrypted end-to-end even through Cloudflare.

Using HAC2, or other compatible extensions, players can enjoy an even better gaming experience.

At this time, HSE administration requires HNET. An HNET server will be provided, either private, or shared, and it will be necessary that your servers use static IP addresses. If you want to run your own HNET database instance, and you can wrangle Apache, PHP and MYSQL, I will gladly provide database creation scripts and all data necessary to launch your servers and administer them.

License: HSE is licensed on an as-needed basis. HSE source code, HNET database/php/html, and all other code provided can NOT be redistributed. It is solely owned by KWCI. If changes are made, please submit them to me if you want them incorporated into the main stream build.

Support and warranty: No warranty is implied. If you are cyber-attacked, and HSE is broken into, that's your problem, not mine. I reserve the right to block access to HNET or other HaloNet.Net services at any time due to security or other concerns.
