Please re-read the rules. Admins are allowed a bit of leeway in order to keep some semblance of order in the server and not let things get carried away. We're allowed to refine the rules as we see the need for it. That may be the precious "rule" you are looking and asking  for.


this was a problem for me when i was admin. people cant seem to grasp that concept.

Someone would have to be pretty lame to get a 'pirate' copy of tribes when you can get it right here:

By 'Pirate' I simply meant any non-official (like the gamespy download) version of the game. The link you posted is a perfect example. While I'm sure Particle's version for download is a straight from CD edition, there are many other versions available for download (like you also suggested) with scripts and customizations preinstalled so that new players (or those without script-installing ability) can enjoy some of those very cool scripts that people write. I'm sure most of these versions probably remove the swear filter.

I prefer the http://www.Tribes0.com edition which comes fully patched and ready to play.
A version with RPG and Deus installed would be cool to have for download for new players, too...


There was an official download released from sierra. You can't get it from them anymore but it's as official as you can get.  I think particles is just a mirror of that.

We really need a pcrpg install that creates -mod rpg shortcuts. Some people still have difficulty with it.

I've got a full installer that installs Tribes, updates it to 1.11, installs TRPG 5.005, includes a beta (non-functional) version of the PCRPG Launcher, will direct a newbie to a TRPG guide if desired, and makes shortcuts for you.  It just isn't a publicly listed download:

http://downloads.pcrpg.org/trpg5005wtribesfullinst.exe

I could make a TRPG-only variant (smaller), but this was intended to make it a breeze for newcomers with no knowledge of what to do.

Requires .NET 2.0 Framework to run/install.

I have no problem with swearing, since I try not to let myself be offended by mere words.  I don't find language offensive, just the thoughts behind it some times.  I know this is an uncommon attitude and many of the people on the server are younger, so I let the admins regulate swearing as they each see fit.  They know the people on the server better than I do at any given time, so I trust their individual judgement of what is best for the active population on the whole.

---

You have to be careful about modifying the setup package released by Sierra.  It may violate the terms of the agreement of the version of Tribes they released for free.  That's why I do it the way I do in my installer.

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.

Lies.

If you don't like swearing, use the built in system, there shouldn't be anything to enforce.

Not lies you fnorder.  True story.  His name was George Travis and the teacher was Carl Kleimeyer,  It was in my sophomore year of high school.  I owned a White 4-door Mercury Monarch,  I was tutoring the Computer teacher who was also the Girls Basketball coach.  I had a calculator made of cheese.  My ankles can rotate 360 degrees.  I can actually sense what color people are thinking of.  I exhude Xmas spirit all year long.  Once when I was trapped in a well, these firemen, they came down to save me and there was this monster who had a metal head and the only thing that could stop him was really expensive perfume.

The badwords list hasn't been updated in quite some time so there is a fair amount of slang and miss spellings that get through the filter.  Another thing is the filter gets annoying in that it filters out things like
Blanks hit Driappi to Blank##$%# Driappi
