 How to install and run Starsiege in 2020

Posted by: Mhaddy at 1:20 AM 

5 years after Hi-Rez Studios acquired the Tribes license from Garage Games in 2010, they decided to release all of the games in the Tribes universe, including Earthsiege, Earthsiege 2 and Starsiege for free. That's amazing, but... that was still 5 years ago and the master servers were long since dead (2008 was our last update).

But fear not! Jenetrix and Wilzuun's got you covered. Here's what you need to get Starsiege up and running in 2020.

Step 1. Download and install the latest build of the game that has some patches enabling it to run on Windows 10.

Step 2 (optional). Download and install the extras that contains skins, glide wrapper, BMP remap tool, and the original documentation.

Step 3. Replace the contents of your master servers (master.cs) with the following (last updated Dec 9, 2018):

---

//---------------------------------
// master.cs
// Last Updated 12/09/18
//---------------------------------

$Inet::Master1 = "IP:master1.starsiege.io:29000"; // Jenetrix's Master
$Inet::Master2 = "IP:master2.starsiege.pw:29000"; // Wilzuun's Master
$Inet::Master3 = "IP:master3.starsiege.io:29000"; // Jenetrix's Backup Master

// Legacy Master Servers
// $Inet::Master1 = "IP:ss1m1.masters.dynamix.com:29000";
// $Inet::Master2 = "IP:ss1m2.masters.dynamix.com:29000";
// $Inet::Master3 = "IP:ss1m3.masters.dynamix.com:29000";

$inet::IPBroadcast1 = "IP:broadcast:29001";
$inet::IPXBroadcast1 = "IPX:broadcast:29001";

# times here are in ms
$pref::maxConcurrentPings = 20;
$pref::pingTimeoutTime = 1500;
$pref::pingRetryCount = 2;
$pref::maxConcurrentRequests = 10;
$pref::requestTimeoutTime = 3000;
$pref::requestRetryCount = 2;

 Welcome back

Posted by: Mhaddy at 3:58 AM 

For more than 12 years I've kept the Junkyard online as a resource for those in the Starsiege, Tribes and Halo communities as every once and a while, a vet will reach out to me and catch up on old times. Well, the SS community has gone one step further this time and really come together in a bid to band together for the game that brought us together.

Edit: The Junkyard Forums are also back online! Certain caveats apply - certain forums have been marked read only until I see a community need to turn them back on. Catch me on Discord below or PM me on the forums for details.

Due to the maintenance, however, we noticed some minor glitches. Please report any problems you have viewing the site in the comments.

 Tribes 1 Master Server Goes the Way of Starsiege's

Posted by: Mhaddy at 4:38 PM 

Well, it was inevitable. Sierra announced earlier this week that it would end multiplayer support for 20 of its "heritage" titles, including Tribes 1, on August 16th. While this news, to some, may seem like the end of playing Tribes 1 online, Starsiege vets will remember the community fix that was put in place when Sierra ended Starsiege multiplayer support. To that end, Bloodyboots from our forums pointed out that a community run Tribes 1 multiplayer master server is already in the works, care of Tribes One.

 The Last of SS:2845 Media

Posted by: Mhaddy at 8:47 PM 

The crowd has spoken and Trajan has answered, delivering a bunch of previously unreleased media. There's a little under a dozen new screenshots, and several handfuls of (mostly) unreleased development art. You can find them all by using our Quick Search Tool and the Gallery keywords, "The Last of 2845 Media", as well. Enjoy folks, that's all she wrote.
