When you load Tribes, there are quite a few servers to choose from. This tutorial describes how to host your own server for others to play on.<br />
<br />
===== Step 1 =====<br />
The first thing you need to do is make a separate Tribes directory for the server. Don't use one that you play with. It shouldn't have any special scripts or configs in it. If you would like a stripped down copy of Tribes, you can download one here: [http://theexiled.pwnageservers.com/files/Tribes_Setup.exe Tribes]<br />
<br />
It is possible to use one with configs in it, but things like custom models can cause users to be unable to play on it.<br />
<br />
<br />
===== Step 2 (Windows XP and lower) =====<br />
Next, you need to download a special program to host the server. Tribes comes with its own, InfiniteSpawn, however the one we will use has built-in crash protection for things like packet flooding. You can get it here: [http://theexiled.pwnageservers.com/files/Utilities/TribesDoSFiXISFINAL.zip Tribes DoSFix]<br />
<br />
Once you have it downloaded, extract ''TribesDoSFixIS.exe'' to your Tribes directory.<br />
<br />
<br />
===== Step 3 (Windows XP and lower) =====<br />
Now we need to create a way to launch the game. Right click on ''TribesDoSFixIS.exe'' and click ''Create Shortcut''. Now right click on the new shortcut and click ''Properties''. In the ''Target Path'' box, add ''-mod <name of mod folder> -dedicated'' at the end of the path.<br />
<br />
For example, if I wanted to host an Annihilation server, my target path would be: ''C:\Modding\TribesDoSFixIS.exe -mod annihilation -dedicated''<br />
<br />
Click OK and you're done.<br />
<br />
<br />
===== Step 4 (Windows Vista and higher) =====<br />
Right click on ''InfiniteSpawn.exe'' and click ''Create Shortcut''. Now right click on the new shortcut and click ''Properties''. In the ''Target Path'' box, add ''tribes.exe -mod <name of mod folder> -dedicated'' at the end of the path.<br />
<br />
For example, if I wanted to host an Annihilation server, my target path would be: ''C:\Modding\InfiniteSpawn.exe tribes.exe -mod annihilation -dedicated''<br />
<br />
Click OK and you're done.<br />
<br />
<br />
===== Step 5 =====<br />
The final step is to run the new shortcut. If you are using Windows XP, you will need to click ''Unblock'' if a Windows firewall dialog box comes up asking if it should continue blocking the application. When the shortcut has been executed, you should see two windows, like the ones below:<br />

<br />
Put checkmarks in the three boxes at the bottom of the DoSFix program and minimize it. Everything should then minimize into the system tray.<br />
<br />
<br />
===== Step 6 =====<br />
You may need to open some ports to allow Tribes to be seen by users outside of your network. Follow this tutorial: [[Port Forwarding]]</div>Bigwig
