    Something tells me you haven't got any Construction maps installed. :O

    Flatland: http://dl.rawr32.net/flatlandpack.vl2
    More maps: http://dl.rawr32.net/maps/

    All vl2 files go into the base folder, and the metallic folder goes into gamedata.

    Put the .vl2 in your Construction folder. Base should work, too. You must have not done it right.

    If you are downloading with internet explorer, you need to make sure save as "All Types" is selected, or else it will attempt to save it as a zip archive.
    If it is saved and you want to rename it back to a vl2, open a folder and go to: Tools > Folder Options > View, and scroll down until you see "Hide extensions for known file types". Uncheck this and press OK.

    The mod works regardless of the map you play it on, by the way.

    Do the school computers have the capability to play T2?

    If you don't get blocked looking for the download, maybe. I know some schools do allow you to play games, but most don't.

    What are the computers primarily used for? Do students usually run 3D applications? You do need DirectX7 and reasonably modern drivers (depending on your card). That said, some machines do have trouble with the codec for the intro video, so you might try setting $pref::skipintro = 1; in your clientprefs.

    The maximum view distance is set in the mission files, but under that it's controlled on the client side in the settings. Make sure you haven't got the slider down to the bottom.

    I thought Tribes2 required DX8.1a or somesuch...

    I knew it was either 7 or 8, but now that I think about it, 8.0 did come out about 4 months before the game was released, so that's probably what was bundled with the disc. But the game does support Windows 95, so it shouldn't need anything later than that.

    some of sites selling t2 disks said win95 worked on it, however knowing that windows was a mistake to be born in any event thats probably lies XD
