MA continues to operate a public T2 server and several private servers, and regularly hosts pickup games. Check the MA and BEML forums for the latest schedule. http://matureasskickers.net/ http://beml.org/ MA also hosts mailing lists for server admins. http://lists.matureasskickers.net/

If VUG offered to fund development of Tribes 4, how many of you would go out and pre-order it? Can VUG continue to be complacent in its treatment of Tribes players? Or is the brand truly dead and irredeemable? Some have pointed out a degree of legal exposure of groups making Tribes-like games...

I'm running the beta dedicated server on a dual-P4 with hyperthreading. (Running under WINE, but I understand this issue also affects those running natively on Windows.) Performance improved dramatically by locking the binary to a single logical CPU instead of letting it float to whatever CPU...

It looks pretty difficult if not impossible to associate names with IP's with the current log (beta dedicated server). There's also no recording of chat. Is some setting needed to log this stuff?

I imagine a lot of people here are running phpBB-based forums, or perhaps some other PHP-based forum. If so, make sure both PHP and phpBB are updated to the latest version. Worms are actively defacing sites and erasing web content. If you use a hosting service, make sure they've updated these...

SlashDot today reports Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood. The story mentions lots of titles, but noticable by its absence is T:V. Maybe some TW regulars can go over and spam the discussion? ;)

Any hints on how to get the beta dedicated server to run well with more than a dozen people? Is the regular (CD-required) dedicated server better? How do you get a server to run well with 24-32 people? System is Dual Xeon 2.8 GHz, 4 GB memory. (Compaq Proliant PL380.) I've got UseSound=False...

Just saw this on SlashDot: http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en Try typing "tribes" into it. Pretty cool. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/10/1554203

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to rename the aux files (.pkg and .mopp) and what I need to do to the .tvm file if I rename the aux files. I can see the filename embedded in the .tvm. If I change that string to something longer or shorter, does it corrupt the .tvm file? I also see an...

A teammate called my attention to this. Some Real Life truisms from the world of game development. Speaking as a non-game software developer, I can tellyou that this isn't limited to just game development.

Connect to the web admin panel at http://server:port/ServerAdmin/rootframe?Group=defaultsframe (Defaults | Maps). Try to change the order of the map cycle by selecting a map and using the Up / Down buttons. Nothing happens. (The page just reloads.) Try removing maps from the cycle with the < and...

Can anyone tell me how to interpret the coordinate numbers in TribesGUI.ini? What are the units? I think from inspection that the system is left-handed with the origin at top left. Mostly I want to tinker with MPGameSummary, but I'm having trouble making sense of how to interpret the...

See Source\Game\TribesGUI\Classes\TribesMPGameSummaryMenu.uc in the beta SDK. This code manages the score/stats/award screen following a match. It appears that it registers a 1-second timer that requests a stats update from the server and redraws the screen. Why? Doesn't the client have all this...

In addition to the buddy list and favorites, I'd like to see a checkbox for the opposite of favorites, lame servers. (A similar checkbox for lame players would also be handy.) We've all encountered servers with rules we disagree with. For instance, MA servers have a no-smack-talk policy. If you...

I just noticed that the between-map stats screen on the left has a scroll bar. Scrolling down reveals a couple more windows-worth of info. However, something keeps scrolling the window back to the top, making it impossible to see what the other stats are. And is there some way to permanently...

Just saw this for UT2004: http://www.catchersctf.com/CaptureTheTreeUT2004/ Maybe someone can adapt it for T:V?

How can I grab traffic coming in through port 7778 and inspect it before it continues into the GS query engine? The server apparently can handle both traditional qstat queries like "/status/" and also a binary protocol. I want to look at the queries coming in. It looks like UdpGameSpyQuery...

Just found this for UT: http://www.x2software.net/index.php?page=products_utcache Perhaps someone could get permission from the author to adapt it to T:V?

Selecting Mutators in the Web Admin panel shows these two mutators: UTV2004s.utvMutator UTVStudio.tvsMutator What are they? What do they do?

[BUG] Undesired switching to desktop Playing tonight I got switched to the desktop thrice. At one point the date/time/timezone setting dialog from the control panel was up. I can't imagine what spawned that. Is the game failing to capture the mouse properly and I'm really hitting stuff on the...
