  • That was a major selling point for Supreme Commander, but Tribes sadly does not have that functionality. Now maybe you could start a SECOND copy of Tribes, fullscreen it on the OTHER monitor, join the same team (or the enemy team if you suck), and leave it on the command screen. This is stupid, but it might give you your…
  • If there's anything I can do to assist you guys (as far as bugs that you're running into), let me know. I'm excited about a base server coming up. Haven't played base since I first got the game :)
  • New version of Tactical Sky Wars is now live on Goon Haven TSW v0.7b Changelog: * AA turret speed increased by 400% * Plasma turret movement speed increased by 200%, damage reduced back to non-classic level * ELF turret range increased by 50% * Missile damage vs vehicles reduced 33% * Bomber/Hawk belly turret damage…
  • Tribes is free and has been free for quite a while now. What would be illegal would be trying to sell it as your own software or duplicate the game in another engine (as that may be copyright infringement).
  • Hopefully it would garner more attention. Digg kind of shrugged it off :\
  • Stuff like this has already happened. Best Buy had to recall tons of Dynex (their private brand) digital picture frames that had viruses pre-loaded onto them from a Chinese factory. Countries all over the world are funding espionage like crazy. A comedian (I forget who) made a joke saying to be wary if German and Japanese…
  • Well it's still very possible that I'll have a 64 slot non-classic server, but right now I'm trying to increase the number of vehicle maps available. At least with vehicles AND classic there's a little bit of something for everyone.
  • Nope, apparently not :)
  • updated OP with new server info.
  • keen posted that because there is a new server: Goon Haven TSW. Check out his new mod and help test it out there!
  • Fantastic idea.
  • Well, I wouldn't need to kick someone. Can the server not just ignore the request (from someone who already voted/someone calling a vote before the timelimit is up) and then send them a centerprint with "hey dummy, be patient"?
  • Nope, this isn't an announcement about tournament plans yet... :) Currently the admins and I are planning on changing the 32-man server from "test-bed" to a more competitive-friendly server. This would involve the TWL map-packs and other competition based maps (but with a custom rotation, however all maps will be…
  • The mini-stutter is a simple solution (and I have to do it on all my servers). Create a .cs file in ../scripts/autoexec (it can be anything... like "stutterfix.cs"). Paste this in: setPerfCounterEnable(0); Save the file, kill the server and re-run the dedi server batch file. Your stutter should be fixed. If you are running…
  • While actively moderating my server, sometimes people will report other suspicious "skills" from other players. One annoying thing (as far as adminning is concerned) is that people can tell when I'm observing them. I've seen pretty suspicious things (people topping the scoreboards with sniping... then I observe them and…
  • You know that the default loadouts contain a heavy with an ammo pack right? That's probably why you see it so much. ;D
  • I found everything I needed and all is working now. At some point I'll document everything and host files on my site... most of the sites I acquired files from look like they are going to go down at any minute.
  • Learning how to play the game != learning how to perfect key skills. Goon Haven is ok for the former, not the latter. GH is the only server I play on and I don't blow myself up with mortars (well, most of the time anyway). I can't name a large pub in any online game that allows someone to perfect competitive-style skills.…
  • Halfway through when the light disc-jumps in mid-air by TK'ing his teammate... I came. Twice.
  • Some games had the "rocket jump" before "jumping" was even a feature of the engine. Marathon had the "grenade" jump to get to secret areas all throughout the game (though I was incapable of properly doing them way back then). And holy shit... after I typed this I looked for "rocket jump" on Wikipedia and it says that…
  • It'll be separate virtual servers, the host VMware ESX box should be able to handle it fine.
  • So should I set up two more sub-20 man servers that would be used for the Goon Haven tournament (and be loaded with the tourney maps) that people could practice/scrimmage on?
  • I don't need general moderators. I mean people specifically for helping put together a tournament. You'd only be a moderator on the tourney server during the tournament ;)
  • I may need to start pulling in resources from the TribesNext community to help plan the Goon Haven tournament. Some of my fellow Goons aren't active enough (which is why I've been more and more open to the general public). Just as a general interest check, would some people be interested in helping moderate/referee/plan…
  • Well that's up to you. There are definitely clans out (new and old) that might be recruiting. As for "teams" (like in a tournament)... I will try to facilitate "pick-up groups" via my forums and ventrilo server when Goon Haven has their own tournament. Clans are bound to form... and hopefully since the game is now 100%…
  • Alviss, now you're just talking about a bandwidth issue. Luckily I have the bandwidth to support it. The server can handle the I/O too. While I agree there will be a spike, hopefully there will be ways to throttle the bandwidth to have some form of control over it. I wouldn't want to max out my pipe and screw up my…
  • Alviss, I meant retail key. Other keys were generated for free. I.E. - he doesn't need to dig his old retail key up!
  • You haven't needed a key for Tribes 2 for years now. You just gen an account and play.
