  1. Welcome to "Renegade Marathon," the gamemode where everyone fucks around and the points don't matter. That's right, the points don't matter, just like the plot line of a porno film.

    Drew Carey was on to something

    I have no idea if you're joking or not (i really don't, no sarcasm intended), but i always find it funny when someone says points don't matter in marathon. If you even slightly think about it, you know points = credits, and if you're playing a marathon game where both teams have no ref and/or pp, guess which team has a higher chance of winning...

    More examples can be given but i think you get my point on this one.

    On topic, credits earned by points didn't help in marathon unless donation was enabled in the server, or if one player was able to buy vehicles for the rest of the team, since being only able to buy one advanced infantry or one beacon at a time usually wouldn't be a gamebreaker unless there was REALLY good team coordination.

  2. Heh, the Black-Cell servers' Dragonade mod made good use of the unfinished SSM launcher when we messed around after the Regulars vs. Moderators events. I have an old video here: 5CBqzjkE0Bc

    The Renegade: Sole Survivor total conversion mod, however, actually implemented a properly-working SSM launcher. Too bad that mod never really went anywhere.

  3. As per the website, we currently do not have anyone who is able to bring it back up or is willing to make a new one. If there is anyone out there willing to help us out with that we would appreciate it very much so.

    I may be able to help. I've never seen the original site so i'd need to know what needs to be done.

    Archive.org runs a bit slow, but that's what the website used to look like in its most recent iteration.

    Edit: Also, you said you "re-downloaded" Renegade. If you don't have a valid serial, don't bother with XWIS, unless you buy a new serial from them (I don't remember if they're still doing that, but hopefully there will be instructions for that on their site). You'll have to direct connect to servers that provide their IPs or try something like Renlist.

  5. Oh wow, I totally forgot about the global chat that Renegade had when it was hosted on Westwood Online. Man, literally the best online experience ever. Too bad it died :/

    never got to witness it. :(

    Never really used it myself, but I remember that my younger brother got temp-banned by HelpBot for telling someone else to "be carefuk" [typo] about cussing, and apparently HelpBot considered that to be cussing. Ah, 2002. Good times.

  6. Didn't have to reset my password! Success! What happened to the main site though?

    Yeah, somehow I was able to log into my account without resetting the password. I DID try to reset it yesterday, but the email never came. Odd. Also, yay for being able to switch to my animated avatar!

    Also, I noticed some weird stuff going on in my Private Messages. My "Inbox" is full of messages generated from 5 posts I hit "Report" on, and they're addressed from me to Fobby. Not sure why that's in "Inbox" instead of "Sent". Also, my "Sent Messages" folder is throwing a bunch of PHP errors, and actually contains two replies to two of my Reported messages. Double weird.

  7. Fobby[GEN]]For the record, Patch is German. You can look that up in the manuals and wikis.

    Actually, I can't find any mention of him in my 2002 CD manual, but I did find the description in the Character data you can earn in singleplayer Renegade, and at Renegadecommunity.com (click the "The Dead Six: When Might Makes Right" link). Man, the difference a decade makes in graphics...

  8. havoc9326 for the first few months of the game. Then I took a hiatus until some point early in college when I finally had high-speed internet instead of 56k AOL, and since I forgot the original password or something, it's been havoc9826 and my clan nick BChavoc98 ever since. (Plus 1 rarely-used smurf for moderating)

    Addition to the topic: how many of you have a name older than the WOL to XWIS conversion date? See if you have stats and summary pages like mine (many of you probably will have more details on your stats page; I'm not sure why mine doesn't). Just replace my name with yours and find out:

    On the other side when you have an AFK-er in your vehicle, it can't get stolen by the opposite team. :P
    But I agree it can be useful. I know there is already a command (!vkick) that kicks someone who is driving in your vehicle, but no kick command for passengers.[/b]

    Black-Cell used to have !vkick 2 !vkick 3 !vkick 4 to cover APC passengers.

    Timed C4 never beeped on my CP untill I got a mod to do it for me. But if you say it will beep, it will beep. :) [/b]
    I think Fobby meant it'll just make the single beep that you get when you click the mouse to plant it, so people nearby (or potential c4 sticking victims) might become aware of it.

    QUOTE (BLaZor @ Sep 6 2009, 10:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
    That's kinda silly imo. Whenever you planted a Beacon, there was an announcement saying "Ion Cannon Deployed" or something.[/b]

    I think you misread what I was talking about BLaZor. I was talking about the timed C4, not the beacons.

    QUOTE (An4x1madr0s @ Sep 6 2009, 11:16 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
    In the original RTS game(s) you get messages saying "ion cannon firing" or "nuclear weapon launched " and "nuclear warhead approaching" so... it's pretty much the equivalent to that !

    Keep it , beacons are TOO useful to not know about ![/b]

    Actually, Nod got no warning when the Ion Cannon was fired because it could only affect one building. The nuke could kill multiple buildings within a certain radius (I forget if the MCY was able to survive it), so that gave an announcement. You're thinking of EVA saying "Ion Cannon Charging" to the GDI commander when you clicked on the button before it was ready.
  11. First, off topic, I'd like to say how much I hate IPB's stupid inability to allow us to make nested quotes without a ton of wasted time and effort.

    R315r4z0r has got the idea:

    QUOTE (R315r4z0r @ Aug 30 2009, 10:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    In UT3, they allow you to pick and chose a modified player variatent with player chosen additions to their character. It's not a skin, but a freely accessible feature applied to the characters in the game. (Like you can swap out your helmet style, your armor style, your shoulder armor style, ect).

    I think he is asking if something similar will be possible with Renegade X somewhere down the line, not if they can create custom textures/skins for the mod or not.[/b]

    My post isnt discussed in the post you are referring to Havoc9826, so I still want an answer.

    Ban4life

    ps. The Gunner looks good[/b]

    If you look at the post that RESPONDS TO the one where I posted the joke picture of the Sakura customization (NOT the one that prompted my creation of the picture), Havoc89 says this:

    QUOTE (Havoc89 @ Jun 13 2009, 01:06 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
    Lol, if only there was such an option.

    That screen will not even be present in the mod as there is no use for it.[/b]

    So either I'm really misunderstanding you, or you misread the instructions in my post. Unless you're asking for them to re-make the models from scratch with some minor detail changes and use them as different models selectable in the arrow-in-corner-of-pt-icon thing, this was your answer.

    This gave me another idea. I think its in Halo3 (not sure?)
    Make that everyone can customise some stuff on his own units. A few places that they are allowed to put a tatoo, a sticker on their helmet or a text. Something that people know, when they see my "zero tolerance" painted in red on my helmet, that they are in trouble, because you can only see that when you are up close to my shotgun trooper.
    Somethings could include:
    -helmet on/off
    -A band with a text/picture on their arm
    -text on the suit on fixed places
    -camouflage on the face or not
    -you get the idea
    Is this something to be discussed here, or in another post, or is the idea shot down before it even get's a chance?
    -Ban4life[/b]
    Eh hem... please open up your ut3 and play it :P.... they probably wont do it for ren x[/b]
    QUOTE (Ban4life @ Aug 30 2009, 07:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
    I still think it is worth a thought :)
    I mean, you can alter it in UT3 (head, shoulders, legs etc) so why not put in a little individual touch? It can be 3 kinds of trousers, 2 kinds of helmets and some stuff like it for each character and saved (on your own computer) for in game.
    You could even link the achievement system to it and put generals stars on the shoulders for example.
    It is only an idea for the third stage. And hell, they want world domination too, this doesnt sound as big as that :)

    Aww nuts I didn't know that you couldn't skin anything for the Renegade X mod. It would seem that you could; why can't you?

    Regardless of this fact I still love the originals that you guys came up with.[/b]

    These questions have already been addressed. Refer to this post and Havoc89's immediate reply.
  14. Glad to hear you've planed to make the in-progress units differentiable to some degree.

    Also, I didn't want to put it in my page 1 reply, but the perfectionist in me won't let this go...

    In both the GDI and Nod PTs, "COMMUNICATION ACCESS AQUIRED" -- should be "ACQUIRED"; and in the Nod PT, it says Grenadier instead of Flame Trooper. Apart from that, the new PTs are awesome.

    There is another havoc at atomix; I'm sure you may have meant him? He used to go to BC alot and I think was a moderator there. Come to atomix-gaming.com if you want to find him still.[/b]

    Nope, it wasn't me. I've never met this guy, nor have I ever heard of the PROX12 clan until this thread.
