Where is my motherfucking Tribes with new, motherfucking graphics?

w3rd

I do not know.

right next to the pixies and unicorns

I'd play some BASE T1, if there was a non-shitty server for it.

Where is my motherfucking Tribes with new, motherfucking graphics?

Waiting for all of the other people who want the same thing to get their programming or graphics designer degrees, buy a license for the Toque engine, and make it happen.

It's been waiting a long time, but no one wants to do that. The ones who have started always make something different than T1.

Maybe they wanna play something different?

How could they have the misconception that anything different would be fun? I mean, everyone in the known universe knows that T1 was the only good game ever made right?..........right?

In short - ain't gonna happen unless ya put your own time and money into. Outside of that, quit bitching about it :D

Andrew - Tribes 1 Physics, Part One: Overview (http://www.team5150.com/~andrew/blog/2008/02/tribes_1_physics_part_one _over.html)

Games have been trying replicate the feel of Tribes 1 for almost as long as it's been out (Tribes 2 started development in mid-1999) and every single one of them has failed, usually miserably...What all of these games ostensibly want is to appeal to Tribes 1 players, yet they attempt to accomplish this by using a different and/or completely arbitrary physics system, adding something that resembles a jetpack and skiing and hoping everyone likes it. While I don't know if a carbon copy of Tribes 1 on a modern engine would be a success, I do know that almost any Tribes 1 veteran will be unsatisfied with any Tribes style game that does not replicate the feel of Tribes 1 regardless of how often the developers hide behind the claim of "not Tribes 1".

These articles will solve that problem. I will provide everything needed for a 99% re-creation of the Tribes 1 physics on any 3d engine. There are a few pieces to the puzzle so I'll be breaking the topics in to separate articles for movement, collision, and explosions. This article will go over the basics of the engine and document the structures and constants I'll be using.

^^ woah

I will interject this by saying Tribes 2 classic was just as good if not better. So hence something between T1/T2C were the sweet spot physics wise. If you disagree let me throw the term "subjective" your way.

Amen Andrew. I couldnt have said it better myself. He's right about everyone always trying to change the control mechanism and all just to be different. Stick with what works.

People have tried and no one cared.

It won't feel right because you can't bring back being 17 years old in 1999.

not really better graphics, but it could easily be.

Hi, I'm ?B-MAN, and I'm here to tell you that my opinion is right and yours is wrong. :rolleyes:

"What? You don't believe me that it works and you don't want to waste your time implementing the physics only to find out that I lied? Hmmm, here's something that should convince you. This is the full T1 physics running on Raindance in ET:QW. I did this for the ET:QW Tribes mod that was in the works, but unfortunately things kind of fizzled out. The map is authentic Raindance (every crevasse and triangle is there) with an 8192×8192 command map texture overlaid on top with Arcanox's bases and bridge. This is currently the closest thing to Tribes you will ever see in another engine."

mod legions to fix hte physics?

^^ woah

too bad the key discussion of the terrain engine is missing which is the holy grail of skiing in tribes1.

The terrain engine causes skiing?

Reading comprehension isn't a strength, is it?

nothing about terrain in that article :shrug:

Caught my ninja edit...

He discusses movement and skiing physics which have nothing to do with the terrain engine. With the correct physics, you could ski down the Qbert pyramid, and it would feel like Tribes.

I'd play some BASE T1, if there was a non-shitty server for it.

hackington, but its exclusive to pickups only :)

Although, we do run 10v10 pickups every sunday, search for SenCentral
