somwthing is wrong
« on: May 21, 2006 08:02 pm CDT »
ok well I downloaded the mod then installed it into tribes folder did not work then made a RPG folder and installed it into there it worked. Ok I loged on to a RPG mod server and when I was on the ground it crashes then when I do a search for servers I have a big list then when it is looking to see if there are players on the server the list gets smaller and everyone one of them has a red dot and a red clock next to it. what happen?

That's strange.  Try to refresh the servers again in a few hours.  Sometimes the master server acts funky and messes things up (like no servers, none responding, etc).  If your problems continue, you might need to reinstall Tribes.  Both Tribes and TRPG are available for download off of the main site.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

very likely

There is an exploit that allows a person to destroy your server list.  It usually just makes it to where no servers ever list again, but this could be related.  I suggest you reinstall Tribes just to make sure that nothing is still broken, even if you can fix it without reinstalling.

As I said, you can download Tribes off of my site if you can no longer find the disc, too.

RPG TvT, isn't my TvT the only TvT server?  And I know if you came onto my server I definitly never did anything to you.  I know shorty has been in my server lately crashing the server but I never use exploits against clients, that is just a way to kill your server.  If it was in the TvT server(Bov's TvT) do you have the name of the admin because I don't have any admins but me and my brother.

TvT is a pretty user friendly mod, no extra RPG downloads, it is just a different game play that a lot of people don't like as much as regular RPG

If Particle is right, and somehow it is my server that did that, I am sorry.


As for your problem I had something kinda like that happen to me I managed to get a syntax error in my game server list and it wouldn't show a couple of the game lists so I just deleted my gameserverlist.cs file(uhm I would just rename it to a backup) and it seemed to work for me

yep it was in your server. Someone with Anti in there name was crashing me also I always crashed even if i made a new user in the arean. Hmm the map was start of the world and I dont like RPG much becasue I dont know what to do. in your server I was like near a building and did not know where everyone else was I went into the canyon and it took forever and got lost afew times trying to find people.

my list is ok now did not have to do anything but it must of just mest it up for awile and got fixed on its own.

It wouldn't be your server.  It would be somebody in it most likely.  It's an isolated problem on a per user basis.  It doesn't hurt anybody else and can easily be fixed.

Well that is good to hear, but still am sorry if it was someone in my server that did that.

The only person who has Anti in their name would be AntiVirus but I can't see Anti doing something like that.  Uhm if you were crashing a lot it could have actually been the way TvT is set up very graphic intense in certain hot spots so the crashing could have been because of that.(I even crash occasionally when I respawn, especially if there is 30 trees)

As for getting lost and not knowing what to do, that again would be TvT.  It can be very confusing and takes a while to learn.  That is also why a lot of people just stick to Particles' RPG very fun and easy to pick up.
