Tribes Still Won't Work

[zappa]

Archived from groups: alt.games.starsiege.tribes (More info?)

I hate to be such a dolt but here I go....

I've appended the command line to
C:\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\SierraUp.exe - online, and I still run into that
I need to update but there are no updates.

I've reinstalled Tribes but I still end up as above.

I've also reinstalled install DefenseTurret and it aborts.

Will avoiding the update screen get me through to the game? If so how can I
do that?

You appended wrong, and used the wrong target. Target tribes2.exe and there
is a space between exe and -, but not between - and online. It should be
tribes2.exe -online.

I'm having the same problem. Can you please tell me what to type in
"target" and "start in" in shortcut. Thanks

Your "suggestion" that
<<Alter that shortcut to point to the Tribes2 exe file, instead of
"SierraUp.exe", and add " -online" (minus quotes) after the exe>> Did not
work at all. And Yes I did it right.

There is a note of nastiness in your tone. You have too much time on your
hands.

Ok, did you get any error messages, or were you just dumped back to the
desktop?

Frank, you've just uttered the one line that pisses me

Now pay attention to the erstwhile Mr K, for he speaks

Congrats! I'm dying to know what you're doing now.

I.T. technician/hangaring engineer.

Basically, it involves me setting up a series of PC tills to behave as
they would if they were installed in a shop. This includes full testing
(hoo hooray... read instructions and push buttons) and fault diagnosing
(yay, flex the old grey matter).

Salary? 11K pm while training... 15K pm after training.

The pisser is, I started 3 days before "payroll" paid the company... so
I'm expecting a wage of 3 days for my first paypacket.

There are a few things I can't divulge, of course. All company policy on
secrets.

Congrats, man! I.T. is fun, if you enjoy the George Jetson mode of
work.

I'm in the process of assisting in a site-wide Windows XP rollout.
About 800 machines all told.

We're in the process of working out bugs and streamlining the install
to where it'll be done via SMS (Microsoft's Systems Management Server
(unaffectionately dubbed Sado-Masocist Suite)) at the end-user's
ethernet drop.

The fun part is, the "entity" I'm doing this for requires high
security. So, the normal process would be to set up a machine, grab an
"image" of the drive via SMS, put that package on the network and then
use a CD with the SMS client and WinPE to pull the package down to the
client PC. When done, the PC would have the OS and all the various
applications needed installed and ready to go! That's the theory, at
least. For a "normal" SMS push.

However, the high security mentioned before requires the end product
to be viciously STIG'd. (Security Technical Implementation Guidelines)
But the STIG'd machine breaks the SMS package. So we're having to run
a glorified batch file after the fact. But working out all the little
difficulties has really been a test in patience for both the IT
department and the people impatient to get XP out and rolling.

Aha! We call that a Point of Sale system, or POS for short! LOL
You wouldn't believe all the "idiot-proofing" that is built in to our
newer systems.

No wait- you probably do! LOL

That has always happened to me!! In fact, my first paycheck
from the Shilo was for only *one* hour, because I went to a paid
meeting the day before I began work, which was the start of the
next pay period.
I have it in a frame, on the office wall- never cashed it.

Yeah, but when you do a better job of idiot-proofing, nature creates a

Smeg - in the 'startup' folder you could have a self refrencing and deleting

At work I'm presently seeing the hell of trying to get in line with 'HIPPA'
