  • Cyrus, are you perhaps related to The Monarch, or maybe Dr. Thadeus Venture? http://www.comiccavern.com/blogs/media/The-Monarch.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~ronniewrecked/dr_venture.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/randisadventures/akon16/venture.jpg…
  • I can just imagine the server emptying as the tanks advanced across the map and players ue'd as they came into view.
  • Yeah, pci latency can have an affect on gameplay, but will mostly affect sound and hard drive from what I have seen. Pcie being a different bus from pci. Since drive access takes the most cpu time, all due to the cpu waiting on the drive and sata/pata/scsi and pci subsystem, I cater to the drive as far as pci latency goes.…
  • Yeah, you can use notepad, don't use wordpad as it changes stuff that shouldn't be changed. I use TribalIDE for editing tribes stuff, great app. My guess is cache coherency is your issue, but am not certain.
  • "I make more money delivering pizzas than as an EMT." I hear ya. Last ems outfit I worked at started emts at 6.50 hour, no benefits. Medics, on the other hand, started at 50k year, full benefits.
  • "I don't see why not. Tribes 2 is eight years old at this point and it doesnt take much to run it, especially if you turn the settings and resolution down. With what they're able to pack into small computers these days, I'd be really surprised if it couldn't run it." One would think being the game's 8 years old you could…
  • Actualy, when I first fired up t2 I was very impressed that it didn't look like t1. I appreciate t1 being groundbreaking and I love the folks at gg, but dam it ugly.
  • I have seen a lot of satch guys pop it too late too often, the capper is already gone when he hits the button. But a good satch guy is welcome by me, even if he kills my turrets or me. I have also enjoyed satcheling team mates who were just about to cap. If you have had issues with a team mate, usualy an intolerable alpha…
  • I have nephews who often have watched me play t1 and t2 and when they see the invo structure of the game, how involved setting up d and so on is, then they want to go play halo or doody4, not Tribes. Or even fire up cs1.6. Guess they'd like arena or lt, but I tell them those aren't really tribes. I blame it on the short…
  • Sod that, i say pop the flags in the back halway of the lower level in the bases in kata. Fight your way in, fight your way out.
  • Dt was hacked anyway so it's false hope to use it.
  • Controlling turrets in mino can be quite entertaining.
  • Kater stopped working on evo before the community patch (5404) came out, and when thet patch came along, evo + patch = no missile or mortar projectiles rendered by the server. So I asked him about it and he had been working on an evo-like admin mod that didn't use packages, as the evo packages were said to cause a modicum…
  • You might also try going into clientprefs and setting the terraintexturecachesize int to 4096
  • "From what I've seen turrets guarding the flag are useless, considering that the enemy flag carrier is going to hit and run so fast that the turrets can't catch up." I bag fast moving cappers all the time with turrets judiciously placed for flag defense, altthough it's almost, but not always, after they tripped one of my…
  • Turrets placed indoors are wasted. Most folks going for your indoor goods are in heavy or have a sheild. This means the turrets tickle pointlessly them until the attacker kills or makes inoperative that turret. Making them inoperative is worst of all since no one bothers to fix them yet they take up the allowable deployed…
  • 800 meter visual distance pls.
  • If you're going for the flag, call about 4 to 6 seconds before making the grab, because if someone was far away lobbing mortars that take that much time to impact the target area, you have to give some time for the last round to hit or you'll get caught right in it. Now the smooth cappers can time their run to be exacly…
  • "Intel Core2Duo 2.6GHz 5MBs DDR2 RAM ATI Radeon 4870x2 24" widescreen monitor" My crossfire referrence was to the above from tribalbob. Your 800 should play t2 just fine, dunno why it's having issue. Is there a chance you can try another driver?
  • I usualy remove the serverdefault script entirely and comment out the string that calls for it in server.cs. This may stop the defaults from being used, but this shouldn't happen anyway. My guess is evo still has issues.
  • I like heavy/plama/shield for gen defense. And td is retarded.
  • Please open maps up fogwise, either by editing old maps or when you make new ones. 250 to 450 meter visual distance is retarded in 2009. No one runs a voodoo card anymore, so set the visual range to 600 or 700 or even more. Please.
  • In this case I would turn ht back on, a p4 without it is worse than a p4 with it. And you said you run a 4870x2? Can you change or disable the sli or whatever ati calls sli? Crossfire? I bet the prob is related to crossfire.
  • lol!
  • Wher's the popcorn emoticon?
  • Each script should have a readme, vl2s don't usualy as you simply drop all vl2s in with the rest of the vl2s in your game.
