  • I miss the days of HV and MV servers. I would spam the join button to get into the server, hoping for that 63/64 slots during prime time. Large scale gaming in 2001-2003 was awesome. It was a long time ago, maybe an interview with David Georgeson on Tribal War, that I heard the Tribes IP was worth around $6-8 million…
  • Merry Christmas under the laze and mortar. Deck the halls with clamps and beacons.
  • Are these what you are looking for? I am able to download the VL2's. http://www.tribaloutpost.com/tribes-2/maps/adumula-iceplains http://www.tribaloutpost.com/tribes-2/maps/adumla-foothills I never found mission 3, years ago. Hopefully these are what you were looking for.
  • Sorry, I have not tested the bots with shifter. I have only tested with Meltdown 2 and even then, bot support is limited before weirder stuff occurs. The general rule of thumb is mods work best with the original dumb bot scripts by Dynamix. If I put Lagg Alot bots with Meltdown 2, things can go bad very quickly. Bot…
  • So I haven't been able to access the site for a while, and finally decided maybe I should check TribesNext... Well, here I am and I see you changed the website to something that works. When the old address came back online, it forced my browser to come up with a warning saying that the connection is untrusted, and I had to…
  • I'm not sure if the problem I have is related, but there are similar symptoms. If I run a LAN or dedicated server on another PC, then start Tribes 2 on my main PC... 1/3 times right when I start loading the server list, it will UE crash. I can only fix it by going into my T2 directory for both PCs, and deleting the scripts…
  • Maybe a registry cleaner like CCleaner, and deleting old/invalid registry keys will help? It might stop the files from being deleted. You could uninstall T2 completely, run CCleaner, then do a fresh reinstall. It's not the same as a reformat, but it's not nearly as time consuming. Though the newer versions of CCleaner has…
  • Aztec Temple is the smarter bot enabled siege map that has Lagg's V3 bots. It is the only map that shows up on TribalOutpost.com with the search for "aztec". I have no idea what this Aztec Arena map is either.
  • The active players tend to be on the "Snap Crackle Pub" server. Most are online during USA eastern evenings. You can monitor server population in the "Servers" tab at the top.
  • Unfortunately, the redesign of Tribal Outpost makes finding Lagg_Alot's maps harder. Out of the 10 maps Lagg submitted, only Aztec Temple uses his updated 2005 code with better vehicle combat. Robertom and I have added Aztec Temple's bot support to many of the original maps. Katabatic, one of the most popular stock/base…
  • Handy. Currently looking at new-er Lagg code, but it doesn't run as problem free as I'd like. CPU stutter and device buffer overruns are a lil too common to get something enjoyable.
  • I have been playing around with the idea, and I still believe that simple map changes will be the only real thing needed after patching the CALL instruction. Granted, I still don't know how to do that or what is needed to. Lagg's V3 bots can do more tasks than the original bots, which means it's quite easy to give new and…
  • Thanks for the news. Maps would require serious rework for handling that many bots, but good news to have for what we do.
  • Tribes 2 is so old, it allows people to host and run their own servers, without renting from a 1st or 3rd party. It's a good thing in the sense that it gives the community control over how they want to play the game; custom rules, mods, add-ons, etc. Can't actually own your own server in T:A and a lot of modern games...…
  • Welcome to Tribes Next as well. If you want some offline target practice, the link in my signature will lead you to maps with smart bot support, far better than the standard bots. Though, you will need a somewhat beefy CPU to handle 64 bots b/c T2 is mostly single core. My rig is an i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz with GTX 580, and it…
  • Clientside maps will not be added to the patch. Only the components to get community services running will make it in. Fortunately, the autodownloader is still in. http://www.tribesnext.com/forum/index.php/topic,619.msg10850.html#msg10850 I would have posted earlier if I knew where this info was.
  • The return of those features has me excited. Brings back memories of how T2 was far more advanced and feature-filled compared to everything else at the time.
  • It's about time I actually made an account here instead of lurking for too many years... After Roberto got me through the basics of the editor, I added bot support to several maps since December. Link below goes to the main site since we share it. http://t2bots.conforums.com/ As of now, my release thread has 13 CTF, 15…
