One, Introduction:

Tribes 2: Birth of Legend RPG crosses FPS, RPG and MMO elements into one mod to present an experience unlike any other. The mod aims to create a large MMO-like world where anything is possible. This is accomplished by a vast network of servers that will make up a large "grid" which is essentially each planet. However, at the time being, the server grid cannot be accomplished.

Two, The Story:

Tribes 2: Birth of Legend RPG (main network servers) follows a storyline that is almost exactly alike my game idea, The Draakan Story (Although nobody is forced to go with it).

Three, Getting Started:

Tribes 2: Birth of Legend RPG (main network servers) follows a storyline that is almost exactly alike my game idea, The Draakan Story (Although nobody is forced to go with it).

Four, Main Characters:

-Humans-

Commander Jackson
Birth date: December 31st, 3046 CE
Birth Planet: Earth
Role: Commander of all Military Operations

-BioDerms-

-Criollos-

-Draakans-

Dolosus

Five, Playable Races:

-Humans-

It all started with a big bang, then Adam & Eve. They multiplied by the millions, eventually populating Earth.

-BioDerms-

The BioDerms were artificially manufactured by the Humans as slaves. When they rebelled in 3096, they nearly ended the Human race. Finally after many years, in 3956 CE the Humans have given the BioDerms the right to be considered their own race and nation. To support this, the Humans also gave the BioDerms their own planet.

-Criollos-

Almost exactly like Humans, the Criollos are an ultra smart race of technocracists.

-Draakans-

Although the Draakans are quite a primitive species, they do have a few geniuses lurking around.

Six, The PDA:

The PDA (Personal Data Assistant) will become your best friend in the T2Bol atmosphere. Replacing the score menu on T2Bol servers, the PDA allows you to perform many tasks such as creating your own clan.

Eleven, TroubleShooting:

Question: Tribes 2 becomes a non-active window or PDA contents do not function when I click something in the PDA, why?
Answer: I do not know what causes this, it seems to be derived from the map editor.
Solution: The only solution that works is restarting Tribes 2 or to avoid use of the map editor.

Question: My game crashes when I host non-dedicated servers.
Answer: Older versions of Structural Infinity (SI) cause crashes on non-dedicated servers. 
Solution: Uninstall SI, attempt to host again.

Question: My game crashes when I run Tribes 2 in offline mode without an internet connection.
Answer: Tribes 2 has buggy TCPObjects and HTTPObjects that crash when there's no internet connection.
Solution: Uninstall all scripts that require an internet connection. (Including TribesNext's main VL2, tscsri.vl2) 

Question: My game crahes when I run Tribes 2 on Linux via WINE.
Answer: The TCPObject code in older versions of the TribesNext patch is incompatible with WINE. 
Solution: A newer version of TribesNext will fix this issue, but it is currently unavailable for download at the time this manual was written. You can check at http://www.tribesNext.com
in the downloads section.

Question: My server crashes when I attempt to spawn in a game I've been playing for a while now, why?
Answer: For some odd reason, the T2Bol save data export function sometimes writes corrupted data to the save file. This doesn't happen too much, but it causes all the values of each parameter to be set to some odd number which appears to be a client ID. I am currently tracking this issue and attempting to resolve it as soon as possible.
Solution: Delete the file "data/savedData.cs" and restart the server.
