Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to tribes and tribesrpg. I downloaded the rpg docs with the player and admin commands but i can't seem to get the admin commands to work. If i host a game, aren't i automatically the admin? Are there any extra steps i have to perform in order to be the admin for a game i create?

Also, I noticed that a lot of the servers have like 8 or 10 as the player limit. I have a pretty new machine (1ghz, 512megs ram) how many players can a machine like mine support?


Thanks in advance, rpg looks great! (in fact that's the only reason i bought tribes hehe)

You have to set the admin passwords in your serverprefs.cs, then, when on the server, you have to use #admin (admin PW) to log into admin.

Good machine, it depends on your net connection. If you have broadband, check if its asyncronous or not. Not is better. If you have say, a T1 line, jack the max to 32. :-)

He said he read the admin commands but didnt know how to use them.

If you want some help with admin commands and some very good examples go to my website provided in my sig. It has some tutorials i have begun writing on pack spawning. For instance it tells you how to make a monster(bot) jump out of a pack when the pack is picked up.
