Echos of Scarabrae by Javier on September 22, 2001

Capture the Flag Lush Clear Client Side Custom Shapes

This map was done from memory. I know it has some differences from the T1 version, but it's close enough for government work. Know before you download that this map was tested with a base (no mods) Tribes2 install patched to 23669.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! You should have just imported the original Scara bases. Those look worse then the original bases, LOL! However, I give you credit for a great attempt at recreating an old favorite.

Very impressive from memory! I like the little feature when the gen and solar panel are taken out. Impressive range on the missles when you use deployable sensors. Might be a new classic.

Can I import old bases directly into WorldCraft, or do I have to have the T1 WC tools? If so, where do I get them?

Well, well. I was hoping this day would come. My favorite Tribes 1 level recreated! The inside of the bases is amazing and I am extremely impressed with it. The outside looks like the building has been there for 1,000 years, and I don't know if that was a goal or not. And I believe I'm right in saying that the flag is on the opposite side of the base from the original. But, like I said, it's a really great job on the base's inside and that itself gives it an A. The best re-created base I've seen yet by far.

hehe, FINALLY SCARABRAE HAS COME TO TRIBES 2!!!!! i'm such a happy person!!! the outsides of the bases look sin ugly, but the interiors are just beautiful (anyone get the name of the care takers they used?). oh, for the post benieth me, the flag is in the correct spot. i can remeber many a time when i was killed at that station getting supplies by a SOB who snuck through the vent...

Thank you for your kind comments everyone. The look I wanted for the outside of the bases, was an old weathered look. This being a lush environment, mosses grow in abundance here.

I dunno what EEPROM is talking about when he says you should have imported the orginal Scarabrae base because I don't think thats possible is it? If it was I doubt Nefilim and Tokerz would be spending time on remakes of the T1 classics. I think if you even come close to the originals its a job well done.

scarabrae was definitely in my top 10 as a Tribes 1er, and this doesn't look too bad. I now recognize the weathered look, and think it was a good idea (adds character, whatever that means). I have a problem with the runway having such a high ceiling, the low one in Tribes 1 made it a good place to defend without getting sniped. I think that with the addition of bombers (I haven't downloaded this so I don't know if they work) Tribes 2 has made this base harder to defend. Overall good effort and better than I could have done.

for some odd reason shortly after starting this map, my server started to kick everyone who came on. I thought it was something else that was doing it til I reset the server twice, and loaded another map before trying to load this one. Anyhow I would love to play it, and I am sure it is a good map but the kick issue is a real bummer.
