Datumplane::Starsiege asked a couple of questions of TRIBES/TRIBES2 lead programmer Mark Frohnmayer and learned that TRIBES2 will make use of the GLSetup utility for OpenGL configuration. They also asked whether Dynamix is considering adding Direct3D support to TRIBES2 (the original TRIBES was Glide-only, and though OpenGL support has been added since, it has mixed results depending on what accelerator is used). Here was Mark's reply:

Only if we can't get the performance we need out of OpenGL. If we did support D3D it would be as an D3D->OpenGL wrapper.
