There are three ways you can do this:
- Add the server IP to your favorites list and join it from within the lobby.
- Direct IP to the server using the DIRECT IP function from within the game.
- Use the connect command to join the server.
If the server is a Custom Edition server, then you will need to download the Halo+ plugin (can be downloaded from within the Extensions menu) and, if the server is using a Custom Edition map, install the Sapphire plugin (get it at viewtopic.php?f=101&t=20871).
Note that not all maps are compatible with HaloMD and may crash the game.
How do I join a HaloMD server from Halo PC?
There are two ways you can do this:
- Direct IP to the server using the DIRECT IP function from within the game.
- Use the connect command to join the server.
If the server is not using Blood Gulch or any other retail map, then you will need to insert that map into your maps folder. If it's a HaloMD map, you can either send the map file over or go to http://halomd.net/mods/ to download the map file.
You cannot join a HaloMD server from Halo Custom Edition.
Note that not all maps are compatible with Halo PC and may crash the game.
