Hi,

Does anyone know how you'd go about project four players's views of Tribes onto a big screen using a projection unit? I know the res/view won't be ideal, but I think it would be pretty fun.

All I can figure out now is hooking up one comp to the projector and having four RDP sessions going--but that ain't going to work 'cause you'd need four keyboards/mice one for each comp.

Ideas welcome. No sandpaper required.

Thanks!

OK, figured it out.

Single comp connected to projector. Singe comp opens four netmeetings to four laptops, each laptop running a single instance of Tribes. Now, if I can figure out how to reduce the footprint of netmeeting...

are you talking about playing tribes like an airplane kind of thing, like 4 monitors where it displays the lower quadrant of the game on the bottom 2 monitors and the top quadrant on the top 2 monitors, cuz that would be fun =P

Ah, now that would be bad-ass.

No, I'm talking about four people playing but displayed on a single projector.
