Posted July 20, 2020 Hello everyone, Broomish here! Recently, (in the past couple of months or so), I've got back into Halo CE hosting and modding after many YEARS away. Back then, I only ever hosted and played on Halo Trial despite owning a legit copy of the game. Halo Trial had a great active community of players which lasted for years. In December 2012 when GameSpy discontinued the master server that hurt us a lot, but there were community patches which kept us going for quite a while after that. In fact, I think I kept on hosting up until around early 2016 but I guess I lost interest especially as the number of players died down. Anyway, I felt the urge to get back into this and I am so happy to see an active forum of people still modding Halo! I came across Chimera and Invader, which are absolutely fantastic and awesome to see still being worked on. I am currently working on trying to get some of the mods I made for Halo Trial working on Halo Custom Edition. My main focus was Joiner-Friendly mods and these included log mods. I think I've attached a ZIP here which contains some screen shots of these if anyone wants to check them out broomish_mods.zip blueblob0, Zatarita, Sunstriker7 and 5 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to play your servers all the time and was active on your forum (back when you hadn't lost broomish.tk). I really missed halo trial so much that I now host a Halo Custom Edition server which recreates the mostly vanilla FFA slayer (plasma pistol start, you know the deal) from my trial servers. Your site gave me so many resources (was 11-13 years old when I first found it) and really fostered my love of hosting servers, lead me to do tons of server work in minecraft. So glad to see you back, I will definitely play on your servers (gonna host broomish's BL????) if you post ips. You helped me set up cool servers that I played with my dad and two brothers, so many family memories which were helped due to the community you set up. sorrry for the rant, kinda freaking out that you're on here tbh Edited July 23, 2020 by Enclusion Broomish and RXK1NG like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have made me very happy reading this My old website has fallen into disrepair, unfortunately I have not been looking after it but it is still "sort of working" here: https://www.freewebs.com/broomish/ I am planning on backing up all the old forum posts off that website if I can get a HTML scraper working. Then I will attempt to properly "decommission" it. The website was all about how to mod Halo Trial, so doesn't really serve a purpose anymore. Also, I am currently hosting a server already on Halo Custom Edition. It is called "Broomish's No Mods" (for direct IP use broomish.eu). That is rotating some of the game types we used to play on Halo Trial on Blood Gulch. I can also host Broomish's BL and once I get some mods working Broomish's Dedi RXK1NG, AntiMomentum and Enclusion like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
