Unable To Practice Offline - Help Quick

[DoG]BlindToTheWind

Hey - may be getting internet turned off soon but I'm trying to prep the offline practice program.

I go in there, everything works, except I can't choose purebuild... I hit escape and I see the admin optnion to enable purebuild, but nothing happens.

Eehk

delete dsos.

Okay dsos are deleted but I still host an offline thing and the loadout screen still says "purebuild" but no packs or weapons available... I hit escape and no options are available to me.

This MIGHT work:


Using Tricon2:

Step 1: download, and extract the following packages into dynamix/tribes2/gamedata/base:
http://tricon.rosenberry.net/files/Tricon2Server.zip
http://tricon.rosenberry.net/files/Tricon2ServerExpansion.zip
http://tricon.rosenberry.net/files/Tricon2CrapPack.zip
Visit http://tricon.rosenberry.net/t2download.html for more information on Tricon2, but you will need no more than the 3 files above!

Step 2: run Tribes 2 with the Construction Online Server shortcut;

Step 3: start your server;

Step 4: when the mission is done loading, press escape;

Step 5: scroll through the menu of admin options and commands and click the option "Prebuild / compile DSO's" (or something like that) and confirm your choice. (this admin option comes with Tricon2)

Step 6: after step 5, the game will hang for a few seconds, followed by a 20 seconds countdown. It will say that the server will restart after the countdown, but actually it will shut down the game;

Step7: run Tribes 2 again with the construction shortcut and start your server, purebuild/construction packs & weapons should be available.
IMPORTANT: If you get an unhandled exception, it means that your Tribes2 has too many custom scripts to run a working Construction mod AND Tricon2 at the same time!
You will need to remove Tricon2 by using your Windows' standard filesearch tool to search your entire Tribes2 folder for Tricon2 files (mostlikely, you will have to enter "tricon" as search string). When the searching is done, delete all of the files that were found.
Now run your server again, there should be no unhandled exception and your construction packs and weapons will (or at least, should) be there.

If you'll recall from the last time you posted that, I mentioned that you do not need tricon to use the exact function that method uses.
You simply run the function "prepbuild();" from your console and restart the server.


Running the DSO remover included with the mod or doing a search for files named .dso is usually sufficient though.

Those didn't work either. Just says "Purebuild" on armor and "Pack: Empty" while in the loadout screen. Most admin options when I double-click them, it just makes the list go back to the top with nothing happening.

I tried prebuild(); once, but it was unrecognized in the console.

I tried prebuild(); once, but it was unrecognized in the console

The likely reason for that is that it's prepbuild and you put in prebuild.

Oh.. damn me.

Ok, BlindToTheWind, so I suggest you try hosting a server and type in the console: prepbuild(); then wait about one minute (well, untill the big scratchy noises stopped), and then restart Tribes2 and host your server again.

Alright, I'm back home now so I'll go ahead and try it.
