    ... and that newbie is me.

    I got Tribes today. I'm pretty impressed, to say the least. However, despite having had it for several hours, I'm a net-play Tribes virgin (I have a deep suspision that this will end when I'm raped in the first online game, but however...)

    Reason is, I have a problem.

    The problem is: a little message window that says that Tribes can't resolve the hostname for it's master server, which is "IP:tlml.masters.dynamix.com:28001"

    However, it isn't an intrinsic network problem because the Tribes IRC client works fine.

    Suggestions?

    Cheers!

    Try replacing that with the following for the master server address "IP:209.185.222.237:28000" and see if that works.

    Yup, that works... thanks!

    God, that game is complex.... I thought that having read a few strategy guides and played the basic missions would be enough, but apparently not! I guess it's gonna take some time before I get up to speed on it.... however, I suspect that Quake is going to be gathering a lot of dust <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

    ja na,

    Dont bother with the master server in tribes, use gamespy, its quicker on the loads and refresh's. The newest ver has tribes support

    learn to use the targeting laser <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/wink.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=";)">

    Was playing with Vagabond and against Jag. I ask vaga to paint the location where jag is (he was currently on the roof in broadside). Anyway jag jumps down to one on one me, and vagabond is trying to paint him like crazy <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> hee hee.

    Targeting laser only works on stationary targets.

    Yea that was funny, I was in heavy armour and hobbes was like go to the roof and paint the target so after failing to get on the roof I rained various stuff on the base then the two of them jump down to rumble - so I made a concious decision to nuke the two of them <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">{sunday morn - hangover and whatnot <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/wink.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=";)">
