  • I can't change the drivers to anything other than the default WDDM pre-release, as it was already a hassle to get these installed, any other type with BSOD my comp upon startup every time. I'm just wondering if at all possible I can just change ingame settings to use Direct3D instead. Can't figure out what to edit in my…
  • Nothing but "receiving disconnect packet"
  • Ok after a while we finally got back together to check it out. Apparently it only happens when he tries to host Classic, as in clicks on the 'Tribes 2 Classic Only" shortcut and hosts either an online or lan server, it boots meh off like crazy. If he hosts base/variant, it works without a hitch and I don't get dced. The…
  • My friend is also experiencing the same thing with me and him while he's trying to host a server. Strangely, my other friend who joins suffers no problem with being kicked at all, yet I get kicked at random times in the game, sometimes immediately upon join, others 5-10 minutes into the game. What I see is "receiving…
  • Actually only reason why CTF is the most popular is simply because it's the simplest and most commonly known game type, along with Deathmatch. People pick up the game and immediately understand what CTF and DM are. I remember back when T2 was starting to lose it's luster that by then most occupied servers by then were CTF…
  • Interesting. I take it this will inevitably cause one to be rejected by public servers unless they also are using it?
  • Tribes 2 is neither an rpg nor an mmo, and Nox was hardly an mmo
  • Spriggan dude! Remember Magus from SPAM?
  • Bots don't ski, so while they are nice to try out the basics, they otherwise are worthless when compared to a player that even has a rudimentary knowledge of skiing.
  • Messed with every clientpref.cs I can find. No dsos of em present. I even went so far as to go into the profiles for each card type (*profile.cs), edit em, then set em to read-only so the game wouldn't try and mess with em. Same goes with the clientprefs.cs. The only thing that doesn't reset is resolution now. Everything…
  • Wow, Keith you just completely repeated my suggestion entirely. In any case, he mentioned that he was afraid people would be confused by the concept. Don't see how but that's just his position on it, so he's going for your typical setup.
  • There is a gametype mod called Practice mod which has maps suitable for this. Don't know if anyone's willing to host a server with this, however.
  • As someone else recommended, add a T2 section in order to separate T2-related topics from those of general discussion. Provide a introductions/departures area so other categories don't get flooded with greeting threads. Compliment by separating into various T2 categories, such as clan-related, general T2 discussion,…
  • At the moment until T2 browser functions start to operate, yes.
  • Have you considered the alternative mentioned, or is that a particular idea that has been tried before but failed somehow?
  • Concerning the forcefields on flags thing, are you implying a basic idea of having a forcefield that's owned by that particular team guarding the flag, preventing enemy intrusion, or a forcefield that's actually on the opposing team's side, preventing your own team from scoring unless you destroy the designated generator?
  • You know, seeing as a lot of new players are coming in, and without the implementation of the internal browser, forums, irc, etc., there really isn't much of a place to provide much in the line of a community nexus. The only place relevant is here, since this is where everyone is going to grab the patch (and in most cases,…
  • Even on best quality settings, voices over ingame speech sound like mechanical redneck teenagers blurting out moonspeak.
  • Sensor Jammer is my preferred pack of choice for TG. With it, we have absolutely no fear of any turrets of any kind getting in the way. AA turrets typically are nasty especially against dive bombing operations and unless your pilot is extremely capable of maneuvering they will tear things up. With the jammer, Only the…
  • Last time I checked with him it was around 1.2 ghz. I will have to get back to him on it to verify. I do realize that it is quite an outdated low-end computer, so that may very well explain it. In any case, now that I recognize it's not a fluke, I'll have to ask him to wait longer next time.
  • being in clan SPAM were some of the happiest days of gaming I've had, ever.
  • defenseturret was a rather poor construct against cheating anyways, so it's not much of a loss.
  • Wonderful. Much obliged.
  • Remember SPAM? Yeah, that's right, I was one of em.
  • Yes, everything is broken save for the pitch slider, which functions properly. Upon entering a game it comes up that my ECM voice files or whatnot may be corrupted or hacked, and therefore the voice is set to null and I am unable to even open up the voice menu let alone speak anything. I have also heard from others that…
  • That was in T2 to begin with in a rudimentary sense, just needs implementing like the rest of the T2 browser
  • All I know is as soon as the master server is online and operational, there has got to be more dedicated servers hosting varied game types. I can tell you right now that no newcomer (or most vets) is gonna wanna come to a game with only one active server playing katabatic all the time, no matter how 'balanced' that map is.…
