SAPP's is about as good as it gets, its not 100% prefect.  I have written a script for it that doesn't have some the bugs SAPP's system does but its also overly sensitive.  Try it at your own risk, its in an unfinished state and some of commenting is wrong, I would recommend leaving it at its default settings and only let it kick players.

Releasing the server source, I cannot continue to work on this at the time.

Server: halopc.lua

This requires Luvit: https://luvit.io/install.html

To run the script place halopc.lua, crc32.lua, and lua_table.lua in the folder you place the luvit executables in. After that open a CMD window in that directory and run it with `luvit halopc.lua`.  If you want to send request to this you will have to open up port 80 (or you can change the listen port in the script and open that port instead.)
Also make sure coro-http is installed by running: `lit install coro-http` (again in a CMD window with the folder path you have luvit installed.) Edit: coro-http is required but not used, i forgot to remove this from the script, you can comment out line 2 and not install coro-http and it should work fine.
 
Note: This cannot run on linux, it is running windows commands to get the working directory which do not work.  Even if you manually set this, the linux version of luvit tends to halt for no reason after a couple hours (at least on Ubuntu.)

Today I am launching a very alpha version of a stats api for SAPP servers.  If you run this script it will send back stats of all players (current and past) to the API server at http://api.halopc.com/stats/.

Here is the script for the SAPP server: stats.lua
Setting up the script: If you are on Windows server 2016 or newer, you can set `use_powershell` at the top of the script, all though this will make almost no difference. If you are on older versions of Windows do not change this setting, the script will attempt to download wget.exe to use that instead using commands that are compatible with powershell 2.0.  If you are on wine you will have to download wget.exe and place it next to your haloceded.exe.

Next you will need to download this: json.lua, place this lua script next to your haloceded.exe, this is required.  (The server will try to download this with the current version uploaded on 6/15/2021.  If it fails download it manually from here.)

What data is collected: IP, hash, name, score, kills, assists, deaths, betrays, suicides, weapon stats, time played (in seconds), other gametype stats, and server details.

How is a player tracked: Within the server, hash.  With the API, IP or a custom UUID that be sent with a custom version of Chimera (based on -572) or with a script for Chimera.  UUID is hardware based.
    Note: The script version will open a cmd window for a moment after launching Halo, if this is annoying I recommend using the custom version of chimera.
    Note2: Player IPs and Hashes are not exposed in the API.

Registering your server: Severs must register their IP in order to send stats to the stats API, this can be done at http://api.halopc.com/register. Servers found sending modified player stats will be blacklisted.

Polling stats: Stats can be pulled from the API in two ways, as a Lua table (http://api.halopc.com/stats/raw?lua) or as a Json string (http://api.halopc.com/stats/raw?json)

If there are any issues please let me know, I can be found on the OpenCarnage discord server, feel free to @ me.  Sorry if this post is kind of messy.

You have to allow hash duplicates, which is something that you may have to find a script to patch.  Phasor has a script that does this for it as well, as the base mod only disables cdkey checking but duplicate checking.  The fix is simple but I don't have the 1.10 address on hand otherwise its this added to any script in the OnScriptLoad section:
write_bit(hash_duplicate_patch_address, 0, 0) `hash_duplicate_patch_address` has to be replace with the address, I am guessing someone else here may have the 1.10 address.

 

Updated the script to version 2.0.  Script should now download maps more consistently.  Now automatically downloads required files for downloading and extracting.  Removed options for downloading outside of hac2_repo.

map_download.lua script to replace/take place of SAPP's deprecated map_downlaod command.
//Edit: Script version bumped to 2.0  -- Changes: '7z.exe is no longer used due to unwanted behavior, has been replaced by unzip.exe' 'Script can now download dependent unzip.exe and wget.exe using powershell upon load (should be compatible with powershell 2.0.) Default source is me at halopc.com, it is possible to change at the top of the script.' //Notes: 'Still using wget because downloads via powershell alone would run along side the server (better for performance, bad for checking if the map actually downloaded afterward.

If you can get socket to load on SAPP you may be able to get it to load in Chimera.  SAPP can put out errors without crashing.

Ahh.  Also think you mentioned luasocket, not sure if it would work for you, but try installing Lua modules in the executable (haloce.exe) directory using luarocks?  That part of Chimera's Lua was not really set up to point to something like `chimera/lua/global/modules` unfortunately.  Good chance it still wont work though.

Neat project though.

This project was completed on 14/02/2021 - see here

So I created a Discord bot that will allow you to run console commands from Discord. 

First thing is you will need to set up a bot with Discord and copy its Token over for use in the Discordia Script. https://discord.com/developers/applications

When inviting your bot, do not give your bot administrative privilege, this is to make sure you make it so the bot can only read messages from admin channels by specifically adding that bot to category permissions or per-channel permissions. 

Here are the permissions you want to give it: 

How to invite your bot: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/discord.html

____________________________________________

After that you will need the Discordia + Bot package [ discord.lua ] and the server side script [ discord.lua ].

Setting up the Discordia bot:
1. Unzip the luvit.zip onto the same system your server is going to be running on.

2(a). Open the haloce.lua in the luvit.zip, at the top you should see this:
-- Set up bot local bot_prefix = ">" local bot_token = "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN" -- Path to haloceded/haloded(s) local servers = {} servers['ce01'] = {"C:\\Users\\Gigabyte\\Desktop\\CE_Test", '-path "C:\\Users\\Gigabyte\\Desktop\\CE_Test"', "haloceded.exe"} --servers['ce01'] = {"C:\\Users\\Gigabyte\\Desktop\\PC_Test", '-path "C:\\Users\\Gigabyte\\Desktop\\PC_Test"', "haloded.exe"} 2(b). Take the bot token you got from your discord developers page and paste it in replacing `YOU_BOT_TOKEN`, and make sure that the quotations are still around it.

2(c).  Now below `servers` you will want to set your server short-name (in my case it was ce01, so `servers['ce01'] =`). Set the server path, launch arguments, and executable name as well. (The second line is an example how to do a HaloPC server, or add another server.)
NOTE: You cannot have 2 servers with the same short-name like I did by accident.

3(a). Take the discord.lua and paste it into your SAPP server's lua folder.

3(b). Remember to add `lua_load discord` to your SAPP init.txt.

4(a). Open t he discord.lua, at the top it should look like this: 
-- Path to Discordia bot. local discordia_path = "C:\\Users\\Gigabyte\\Desktop\\luvit\\" -- Path to read commands from. local command_file_path = "\\ce01\\command.txt" 4(b). For discordia_path, put the path were you have the the bot unzipped to, like shown above.

4(c). For command_file_path you need to put the server short-name where I did otherwise the server will not be able to pick up commands.

5. Start your Halo server + the bot (using the start_bot.cmd)

Preview of how it should work when set up correctly: 
 
luvit.zip

You could use something like this:
local file = io.open( "%username%\\Documents\\My Games\\Halo CE\\chimera\\lua\\global\\health.txt", "w" ) That way it will target what ever user the current system is on all Windows systems. 
 
Not sure how to implement such a thing on Linux though, as there you are pointing to the `z:` drive?  This would want to point to wine's `c:` drive.

This is something that @Chalwk's project reminded me that I wanted to do when I first discovered Discordia (Lua API for Discord.)  So actually a good amount of thanks to him that I even made this.  Probably a lot more simple that what he's doing.

Discordia is pretty awesome and I been writing bots with it for a couple months now.
