Stupid person needs help
« on: July 6, 2006 02:49 pm CDT »
OK, I downloaded the TRPG v5.005 to my tribes/RPG folder, but i'm stuck on starting up Tribes with a batch file. The link in the newcomer's guide is broken, and I'm not sure what to do.  I'm not a computer person and any help would be great.

You don't need to start Tribes with a batch file.  :?

Start Tribes as you normally would, then connect to Particle's Custom RPG by clicking it in the master list. (Or by using the PCRPG Launcher.)

If connecting to the RPG server results in any error messages, reinstall Tribes RPG (click here to download it) and when prompted for the Destination folder, type C:\Dynamix\TRIBES\RPG

I'd suggest against using the launcher currently.  The update server is unavailable--you'd be stuck with an old address.

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.
