Installing Reticles

GGearbot
in Mods and Customization
First off I want to say thank you to the Tribes Next team. My buddy and I have been playing non-stop and having a lot of fun. I haven't played in over 4 years and its great to get back into the swing of things. I am however new to scripting / mods / guis / etc. Could someone please help me understand how to install reticles or reticle packs? Im having a lot of trouble trying to figure out why these are not working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Must things will come in an archive. The archives are .zip format but are named .vl2

    Just drop them in your GameData/base folder (or if you only want them to be available when you start under different mods, put them in that mod's folder).

    Teratos,
    Thanks for the quick response. For all other types of scripts, I have gotten them to work just find by placing them within the GameData/base folder as .vl2 files. However, I only have trouble with reticles any reason why this might be?

    Player Skins, Weapon Skins, HUD Scripts, Warning Scripts, etc all work fine, just can't reticles to work. I am trying to get the blue set of reticles from this site to work, anyone have success with this particular scripts? http://www.tribaloutpost.com/tribes2/styles/category/reticles

    thanks again and appreciate your time.

    For texture replacements, including reticles, I found the *.vl2 files didn't really cooperate all the time either. Extracting them to their path structure directly in ~/GameData/base fixed all the texture issues for me.

    To find the proper file structure for any type of add-in, you can look in the default .vl2 files (textures, missions, scripts, sounds, etc) and just copy that structure yourself.

    Tribes 2 also loads VL2 files in alphabetical order, so files in archives at the end alphabetically will override those that are further to the beginning.
