Upgrade Server Install:
1. Rename Tribes\config\TACUserList.cs to Tribes\config\TACUserList2.cs so you do not lose your old TAC userlist.
2. Delete the entire Tribes\TAC directory3. Make a new Tribes\TAC directory and move TACUserlist2.cs from tribes/config into it
4. Delete Tribes\config\TAC.cs5. Follow the steps for a new server install listed below.
6. Add your old users from TACUserlist2.cs into TACUserlist.cs and then delete TACUserlist2.cs
New Server Install:
It is very important that TAC only be installed on a server running tribes version 1.11 or later. It will probably not load or run correctly under previous versions.
1. Unzip into default Tribes Dir.
(where tribes.exe resides - UNZIP WITH PATH INFORMATION)
This means:When installed The Files Should be here:
Tribes\TAC\scripts.vol
Tribes\TAC\TACManual.zip
Tribes\TAC\TAC_Readme.txt
Tribes\TAC\TACUserlist.cs
Tribes\TAC\TAC_MapRatings.cs
Tribes\TAC\TAC_Settings.cs
Tribes\TAC\missions\*.dsc
Tribes\TAC\missions\*.misNOTE: If these files are not in these folders...put them there.
2. Command line to run the mod.
(A command line is what you use to start the game.
for windows its called a shortcut. It's what you
double click on to run the game.)Just add "-mod TAC" to your current Server Command Line.
For Example:
Running Normally.
tribes.exe
Running this Mod.
tribes.exe -mod TACIf you have a custom Server Config then add the +exec Parameter
BEFORE The -mod parameter.
For Example:
Running Normally.
tribes.exe +exec MyConfig.cs
Running this Mod.
tribes.exe +exec MyConfig.cs -mod TACIf your runing dedicated and have a special server config.
I suggest you use infinitespawn. (get it at tribesplayers.com)
For Example:
Running Normally.
infinitespawn *tribes +exec MyConfig -dedicated
Running this Mod.
infinitespawn *tribes +exec MyConfig -mod TAC -dedicated
Uninstalling:
Delete the Tribes\TAC Directory and everything in it. Delete SmurfLog28001.cs form your config directory if you have
been using Smurf Hunter. All files are listed above.
THIS MOD DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN TRIBES\BASE.That is all you really need to get TAC running in it's most basic form. There are many options you can apply to customize TAC to your use.
