  • I think he meant for the final installer. I had the idea of a single .msi file in mind. I want it to be modular, but the more complex the installer, the more likely it will require expensive software to create. I initially used a program called "Advanced Installer". It's pro version is pretty expensive, and it's free…
  • Here is a .reg file that will quickly add .vl2 support to Windows. It will need to have the extension changed from .txt to .reg first, though. It seems to require a reboot before Windows realizes what to do.
  • In response to your PM, No, I never uploaded it. I messed with the map files so much and ended up mixing maps from different packs together. I also wasn't happy with where I got with the bot support so I gave up. I think if this is to actually happen, then serveral of us will need to collaborate. I have some ideas: The…
  • Flares are sweet. I love being tailgunner, which is about all I'm good at.
  • I wish there was more time in a day.
  • Didn't you see my post? What you have done will not delete the files in the virtual store folder. I have 64bit 7 so my machine stores files in this folder: C:\Users\(ME)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Dynamix\Tribes 2
  • In Vista and 7, DSOs, edited maps, and anything else that tribes saves goes into the virtual store folder. Download my ACD and view its code to see the folders. FYI: My installer will store the install location of T2 in a registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Dynamix\Tribes 2\InstallDir
  • No his link is not broken. Although the page it links to has a broken link to tricon. According to Microsoft Security Essentials, it contains no virus.
  • Actually, a Radeon 9800 is about 5 years old. I'm rockin a GT130m in my laptop.
  • Corrupt? It wasn't the last time I checked. But it does run slow as christmas in Win7 x64. I really haven't done anything in months. Maybe I'll start checking to make sure everything works ok then I'll share it with a few select people to see what they think. Oh almost forgot. ACD is a mess and needs a whole new rewrite.…
  • Tainted files? >:( This distrustful stuff is getting on my nerves. As I SAID BEFORE, I will just have to prove it is safe. When I get ready to distribute it, I will distribute it via a torrent. I don't beleive there is anything illegal about my installer. In fact, I think that for a while, there were some torrent files for…
  • Instead of arguing, let's just integrate team mines as an OPTION in the menus. Make it off by default. Then everyone's happy. By the way, Robertom, your avatar is obscene.
  • Actually, no I'm not feeling talented. I haven't really done any work on it since my last post. And yeah, I do realize that many people hate bots, but adding more bots is something that will make noobs happy while not taking away from the fun that others have, as they can simply turn them off. That is part of the purpose…
  • Yeah, I'm a little disappointed with the lack of feedback I'm getting. If any of you have any (constructive) suggestions, please post them. I plan on registering at TPB and posting a torrent for my installer here as soon as I am satisfied with the Bot support. Initial seeding will be slow, because I only have a 256k upload…
  • I've identified a problem with ACD. When using Vista or 7, if you modify a mission, the modified mission and terrain files will be stored in the Virtual store folder. The settings deleter in ACD deletes all files in that folder, so that would erase your modified missions. Please download this new version and delete the old…
  • Are you trying to confuse us?
  • I'm adding deploy inventory station and turret objectives to the courses which have AI support. I've also created deploy motion sensor objectives and the ability to create them from within the AI editor. There is something I'd like some feedback on, though. Would the majority of you guys like for the bots to chat less?…
  • What are you wanting to do? I've been adding the ability to deploy motion sensors to the AI objectives, along with other things....
  • Would someone modify the hud for flying vehicles to include a boresight symbol? I'd do a lot of these mods myself, but I really don't know how.
  • Is it safe for me to register at TPB so I can distribute my new package?
  • My new installer is good enough to distribute now. How should I distribute it? I added bot support to what I consider the best courses. The following CTF missions have bot support: Acid Rain Archipelago Beggar's Run Damnation Death Birds Fly Desiccator Dust to Dust Hillside Katabatic Lakefront Magmatic Minotaur Raindance…
  • I was having some problems getting choice to work. At first I thought is was the GOTO command giving problems, so I rearranged things. As for the virtualstore folder, that' where my computer is storing all the DSOs and settings. I'm running 7 64 bit.
  • Don't be a dick. I said it wouldn't do anything in those circumstances as a safeguard. If you don't trust it, open it up in notepad.
  • My Advanced Cache Deleter is now ready for everyone. There are 2 things you need to know, though. 1 Put it in the GameData directory and create a shortcut to it. 2 It'll refuse to do anything if you installed tribes in the C:\Dynamix folder. The reason is that the settings deleter would probably zap all your tribes files…
  • Last time I checked, tribes 1 still had quite a few people online. Actually, tribes 2 consistently has a few hundred people online, from what I've seen.
  • Thanks for the input, but I've already fixed the problems. Right now I'm adding bot support to more missions, and I'm going to update my Advanced Cache Deleter to be the only cleanup util necessary. Once I get it ready, I'll post a torrent file for it here, if that's ok with Thyth.
  • My new installer should make things a little easier if I can work out the problems I'm still having.
  • I figured it out. Tribes 2 was storing settings and DSO files in %USERPROFILES%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Dynamix\Tribes2". I took Metallic DSO remover and modified it into what I call Advanced Cache Deleter which deletes all settings and dso files out of all the folders. This could also fix other…
  • I've got a problem now. When I load broadside, it screws up and loads thin ice. :-\ I started off by replacing broadside's .mis and .ter files with fresh copies from the installer on this ste, but that didn't work. I then removed all .ter files and .mis files except for broadside's .mis file, and it still manages to do the…
  • Well, then. How do you recommend I distribute it?
