instead of starting a new thread, I just wanted to say how cool this is looking so far. I used to play Renegade back in the Renbattle days, then a lot of Renwarz. I tried making maps for Renegade, but because of the buggy editor, I wasn't able to rebuild the map :-p. I switched to UT2004 about two years ago, and continue to make maps for it. I am surprised I haven't come across this project before!
Brings back the memories good luck! I cannot wait to give it a try
