Gathering more information, not sure how useful this is. It seems the alternate master server is still up, or at least, I get an error when I turn my wireless off. If someone has two computers could they do the "swap out the exe for the included server exe" and then try and find it on the alt server with the other one.

That was posted December 9, 2007, so who knows if it is still true. Someone else test it first.
Well, I got Tribes 2 installed and patched (using the patch on the wiki), but I can't seem to play. Although I have a fast computer, I'm getting 1-2 FPS on the lowest settings. I'm not sure why...
I'm going to set up the server box this week and see if people can connect to it. This way we can know if the LAN work around actually works or if we need to find an alternative like Hamachi.
Ok! Using hamachi as a last resort, me and the other myself have been playing deathmatch for about an hour, it's fun but I can't seem to make him walk past my satchel charges..

You still need to do the insert technique, get the server IP from Hamachi or post below when you are hosting a game. I think it'd be worth the £2.50~ monthly to get larger games going. We should also try the normal internet method too as it will still probably work.
What do you get when you are me, and you let Omnutia play on your server. You get killed. And hope to get a kill in by being a sneaky bastard, Central Tower Omnutia?
Yes, we got it to work over Hamachi. Proof of this event!
but I can't seem to make him walk past my satchel charges..
Wait... you placed satchel charges? I saw one on a platform in that Hellish level...
Onimutia, myself, you guys should post exactly what you did to get it to work so we all know.
We both installed Hamachi and Tribes 2 with the update. Made sure neither of our firewalls, software and hardware were preventing us from playing. While Omnutia was still downloading the patch, he apparently deletes those things, I started a server, and waited, with 16 bots, and then suddenly I read a cry about "I see it!" or something to that extent. He then joined the game, said he couldn't find me, then said he found me and made me very confused. I should've paid more attention since he couldn't find me in-game. While I was blasting away at his generators.
Also, why would there be the $5 fee per month for larger games?
Dunno, something with Hamachi I think. There's a premium option, so you probably can only make a network with a lot/unlimited users if you have Premium. Otherwise it's 16 I guess.
A Hamachi network can have 16 Free connections and 256 paid connections connected to a network. If people who play regularly pay, we can free up more space for people who are new. I also created a separate EU group, mostly to deal with time zones.
For the record, MS was siting on the balcony above the the corridor that connects the two parts of the base on Kabaltic so I shot him, tabbed out, told him I'd shot him, then tabbed back in but accidentally clicked and blew myself up against a wall.
Timezones are nowhere near as much a problem as international ping times, surely?
I'm in the UK which is closest to the USA and my ping times are usually under 200 for American servers but when it's 11 at night there it's 4 in the morning here and that will get worse going across Europe to the east.

Bah, I'm mostly over 200. Iirc Legions puts me at about 240. And I live one hour further away from the USA than Omnutia.
We all suck terribly. If you can play TF2 while listening to podcasts you should be fine. Idea: As available servers don't show up on the select screen (you have to press insert then type in the IP), when you're about to host a server, change your Hamachi name to start with a "*Svr*" or something.

Hey, at least I show support, can't do much else.
EDIT: Ah, got it to work. Any news on a server?

Then again, I don't know much about those between, say, Europe and the U.S., only that they're horrible from Australia to almost anywhere.
... *GLARE* That's 4AM! And we all know about 4 AM in the morning, on Christmas day, with 10 feet of snow, and wanting a pizza delivered. Not me. And it already complains about unhandled exceptions in Windows, guess what happens on the incomplete implementation of Windows in Wine.
