Every time I try to join the 1 EU server with people it starts downloading these massive 2 hour long files. After an hour of waiting for 1 it failed and made me try again.
Shouldn't the maps have installed with the initial installer? When I join an NA server I don't have this problem
Maps didn't install from the initial installer on T:V.com
Re: Maps didn't install from the initial installer on T:V.co
Hi,
not all maps come with the initial installer, however, you can download them from here
TV built-in downloading is slow as hell, so it doesnt eat the server resources and the players can have lag-free experience. Downloading from this website is very fast.
You can see what map is on the server and download the map pack you need at the exact time, but you should be ready for different maps before they are on the server.
Currently you should have (afaik) BEML 4-8, X2, TVRL, TIS and REV. The others arent on the rotation.

EDIT: The reason you were able to join the throwback server is of course because there were maps you had installed.

Re: Maps didn't install from the initial installer on T:V.co
Wow. Problems follow me. I downloaded the REV maps and put it in my tribes vengeance/bin folder. Nothing happens. The AMAZINGLY long download begins whenever I start the game. Plz help. What am I supposed to do with the win/rar zip thingy I download.Fifato wrote:Hi,

Re: Maps didn't install from the initial installer on T:V.co
Maps are not extracted into the bin folder. Maps are divided into two types of files, .tvm and .mopp files. Extract the .tvm files into the folder tribes vengeance/content/maps, and the .mopp files into the folder tribes vengeance/content/HavokData.

Re: Maps didn't install from the initial installer on T:V.co
Right now in my T:V program\bin folder is the REV-VUG I downloaded. Its a winrar zip archive. How do I figure out which type it is? I clicked properties and couldn't find it anywhere. I tried to extract it to that place anyway. It would't do it. Plz help I just placed the REV-VUG file in the content\maps without extracting it or anythingHawk wrote:Maps are not extracted into the bin folder.

Didn't work.
Re: Maps didn't install from the initial installer on T:V.co
Just put the zip archive on your desktop or something and choose "extract here" so you get the actual REV-VUG folder. Inside that folder open the TribesVengeance folder and then further the Content folder. Here you will see four folders called: Art, Havok, Maps and Sound. Go to your tribes vengeance/content directory and place the files from those folders into their respective folders in your tribes vengeance/content directory.

Alright I have taken a closer look at things and have come to the conclusions that on one hand Xenophon is not a very experienced pc-user (don't worry) and that DiceRolla (the one who made the map pack) was a bit drunk when finalizing the maps, causing some unnecessary doubt. He set up the links to the .mopp files to be in a map called "Havok" instead of the usual "Havokdata" folder. Don't worry as there is no problem.
-----------------------------------
This is what you have to do to get it working. Please following every instruction TO THE LETTER!
1) Download the REV map pack using the following link: http://tribesrevengeance.com/dicerolla/REV-VUG.zip
2) Open the zip file using winrar, 7zip or any other program you prefer.
3) Inside you will find a folder called "REV-VUG". Double click that folder to open it.
4) Inside there you will find a lot of pictures and a folder called "TribesVengeance". Double click that folder to open it.
5) Inside you will find a folder called "Content". Do not open that folder and leave the program window open.
6) Open Windows Explorer.
7) Navigate to your Tribes Vengeance installation folder. By default: C:\Program Files\VUGames\Tribes Vengeance\
8) Inside the Windows Explorer window you will see two maps: "Content" and "Program" as well as some other stuff.
9) Select and drag the "Content" folder in your Winrar window (or 7zip or whatever) into the Windows Explorer window.
What happens at step 9 is that the two folders will combine. You are "extracting" the downloaded files to that folder.
10) After that process is completed successfully you can close both windows.
11) Start Tribes Vengeance
12) Enjoy the REV Map Pack
Hope this helps.

Re: Maps didn't install from the initial installer on T:V.co
Thanks. I got the rev map packs. When I went on a empty (grrr) Eu REV server it loaded fine. No 10 year download. Now I just have 2 download the 2 bilion other maps.HighDive wrote:Alright I have taken a closer look at things and have come to the conclusions that on one hand Xenophon is not a very experienced pc-user (don't worry) and that DiceRolla (the one who made the map pack) was a bit drunk when finalizing the maps, causing some unnecessary doubt.

You should have the most important maps by now, Xenophon.
If new ones get released, you are sure to be spammed through all Tribes Revengeance channels possible.
