I will probably launch a third server just for the competition. I don't want to have to be swapping around map/config files like crazy. I'd rather set it and leave it.
-
Well to contribute to the competitive aspect I'm working with my admins to layout the groundwork for regularly scheduled tournaments. The logistics of the tournament will be decided by us, but we'll put up polls of maps considered "balanced" by the old school community and more than likely TWL. I don't think anyone is…

Some people are stat whores and detract from the team aspect, but sometimes it's just fun to see what your current rank is. I would definitely want one that showed defensive stats as well (as long as the stuff was actually logged).

My firewall is set to not respond to pings. Plus that wouldn't tell you much about the game server, the port is just forwarded to one of many virtual servers hiding behind that IP. I do more than host Tribes 2 servers ;) If you want to monitor the server, you can download HLSW (http://www.hlsw.org/) and enter…

You are right, everyone else is wrong. Again your argument is coming from the competitive side of things. What you're complaining about happens in EVERY ONLINE GAME. Organized beats pubs. And yes, a map like Recalesence (or however you spell that stupid mission) is very annoying as the enemy team could easily turtle and…

That's an option of Classic 1.5.2 and only exists on the 32 man (aka the test bed for whatever... as has always been said) along with dumbfire missiles, shotgun blasters, etc. It's the "strange settings and maps the admin is testing" server. If you had a question about that, this is the thread to ask. So ask next time…

Can we stop the constant slap fighting? The community will turn back to lifeless shit if "videogame veterans of old" don't stop aggravating/pissing off the new people. Let people play what they want to play. That's why games like Half-Life and other SDK'd games are so popular and get so much play time... people make and…
-
What are your network settings (in the Options)? I've only seen this with a BUNCH of people on screen in close proximity. I'm talking 20-30 people on screen at once. I don't think the netcode can handle all of it accurately, especially if there is some high speed action. If I'm not watching all the action... it's as smooth…

Halo gets a bad rap. It's fun for what it is. I've loved Bungie since Marathon 1 and will continue to love them. I don't care if that love blinds me! I see where the fundamental difference is here. Some of us are playing to win while others are playing for fun (which could also help the win). Competitively I'll play to…
-
While it's not a "sexy" solution, it's certainly more than acceptable. Especially if they had a pop-up first saying "Would you like to download the required map (Requires game restart)?" Maybe the server admin could even create a repository of "client-side files", so that EVERYTHING downloads at once so that the client…
-
Much of his "flame talk" was completely deleted. And while I'm not going to get into the objective/subjective argument with you, when not playing COMPETITIVELY, maps can be whatever. No need to argue over complete balance over a mostly dead game. Argue balance on Left4Dead forums... that's always fun. Let's please move on.…

Somewhere in the Something Awful thread people were discussing issues to the possible cause of the Windows 7 crashes. If I run across it I'll post it here. I'll probably start dual-booting to Win7 on my work laptop, but I won't be gaming off of it.
-
Not necessarily true, Alviss. There are other Torque engine games that have incorporated an auto-downloader just fine. As long as the server has the processing power and bandwidth, the other clients shouldn't notice a thing. I would kill for this feature, but I wonder how possible it would be without the Tribes source…
-
I deleted it because it was gibberish... not because I was offended. Are you about to start a pointless flame too? Nail on the head ::). Other than the one gibberish post the only others I'm deleting are yours Anarchy. Anarchy, the same guy I keep saying "Please get out of this thread" to instead of getting into a constant…
-
And wouldn't a homogeneous rotation of maps create boredom? Look I totally understand what you're saying... but name a single -successful- online game that succeeded by catering to one playstyle over and over and over. I also don't want to cater to the person that will only EVER play light-offensive 300kph capper. That guy…

Where is your batch file physically located? You could try adding the following at the beginning of the batch (after turning off echo and removing "cd..") D:cd D:\Tribes2\GameData\
-
Projectile, I think the key is a good mix of both and na85 says that after his second paragraph. Though I know maps that require base rape sometimes require more than a chaotic pub, and if there is a pickup group of 3-4 people they can usually roll everyone, but that's inherent in ANY online game (esp. FPS ones). We'll…

AnarchyAo - Please get out of this thread.

http://goonhaven.org now has forums for discussion of Goon Haven servers. There isn't much there yet, but soon that will be the best (and only) place to make comments, suggestions, requests, and complaints.

Name's David. Nickname is really Beaz. 25 for another month and a half. I'm a NOC Engineer for a "Managed Service Provider" (think "Outsourced I.T."). IT by day and gaming by night, unless I have to go out and be social. I'm pretty much a game-a-holic, own all the major systems and of course a PC. I go through games like…

...or tried during the first few days when there were auth server troubles. How many tried once, gave up, then forgot?
-
Just being honest here, but I only know two things: 1) Tribes 1 was one of my favorite games ever. Tribes 2 sort of disappointed me (though it could have been my crappy video card at the time). 2) I'm told that Classic turns Tribes 2 into Tribes 1. I can believe it due to the amount of fun I'm having. I know Base slows the…

That's what I was referring to in the first post. I still wish it easily removed maps from the voting. HOWEVER, I now have Evolution working properly. Before I did that though, I built my own MissionSkip.cs that I will happily share with other server admins. If you'd like to start off with NO maps in rotation and want to…
-
What an excellent post (and exactly what I'm looking for)! I'm in full agreement on Ancient Ruins. No need to suffer through that map. On the contrary with Carrier Strike, we had about 20 people on the server last night... the opening shots were actually pretty cool. A little chaotic, sure, but so many vehicles off to…
-
I don't know who those people are or why I would care. Please contribute on topic stuff to the thread or just some common courtesy to not keep posting off topic stuff. I don't recall any of them being the T2M map pack. Thanks for the heads up. You should do stand-up. edit: Haha. I see what you did there. You Google'd…
-
You're on the right track... give me reasons why to remove them. Don't say ETC when listing maps. Tell me the ones that are "bad" and why. E.G. - I hate Scarabrae because I can't cap the flag at 300kph. (I would not remove Scarabrae for this) - I hate Recalescence because the base is large, empty, somewhat confusing, and…

Because he hosted the first Goon server, does a ton for the community (with banner ads, etc) on the Something Awful side, and knows a lot of the vets from the last few years. That's why. He's been warned against being the "badmin". If it keeps up things will be taken care of. I won't suffer fools (see earlier post). I wish…
