1) Your Ping (the time it takes for a packet to reach to the server and then back) is what determines the reaction speed of when you press 'W' 2) It will be impossible to use the net code of another engine into another engine 3) Ren's code is own by another company, aka © 4) Your computer is having to do way more calcuations then it ever had to do in ren and so nowadays, the servers hold up most of the load, this is thanks to the unreal engine, otherwise you'd ALL need a quad core clocking 3.4+ ghz and graphics cards costing $500+ USD 5) network-code can not just be written up, the game engine contains it 6) If you live in the UK, play on an UK server, if you live in the US play on a US server, if there isn't either or, suck it up and deal with it, its not 2 seconds, yes there is a delay but the game engine compensates, you may not realize it but it does, granted it doesn't work great with vehicles but gun-fights..... the engine actually anticipates your shots, don't wanna say this but it kinda is auto-boting for you in a sense Final) Sorry but unless you have some serious money to give the devs, deal with what you have this is not a flame, but a post to bring to attention and address concerns about the above post

This is a client side setting, you'll need to alter your video settings for this, i'm not sure what setting needs to be changed but i have it disabled or turned down myself.

The textures you see in game are not all 3 dimensional, in fact most of them are plain 2d textures, what makes them look like they are 3d is this process of normal mapping, basically they create artificial shadows as you walk by them. say you look at an image with full lighting (ominous lighting, non-directional lighting) you'll see a flat image, now if you look at the same image with say a you shine your flashlight at the image, it'll create shadows as you walk by, making it look 3d. This process is a cheap way of making realistic environments.

I could see this being put into effect server-side. Especially when the same people play on the same team together, aka they know what to do and do so quick, ending each map in the matter of seconds rather than minutes at times on the non-defense maps. I wasn't a huge renegade player but are all renegade maps this small, the biggest i've seen so far is volcano and under, and those seem really small to me. I'm mostly an unreal player where it takes about 2 minutes to go from one side of the map to the other in a vehicle, here it takes that long on foot, the LONG way around to a base. I could see small maps if the player limit was 16-24

Fixed......

Will there ever be a US server, granted the unreal engine is great in keeping the pings even but still a 160 ping isn't fun to play on....

link is broke...

i don't remember how westwood did things but i know how it works with the source engine. you can have DrummerX and no one else can have it, but there is a work around with alt codes to mimic DrummerX just the way it is. With unreal, alt codes dont' work, last i checked so you won't need to worry about people stealing your name. so you can be "halo2pac" and no one less can. One thing people can do and have done is done the whole "halo2pac_" etc...

Yes if you bought UT3 from Amazon it'll have its own unique key. I have near similiar specs and i run at about 50-60 fps, but i keep my settings up near the edge, so if you just dropped a few settings you'll be fine

Currently if you have UT3 on steam, you can launch RenX from there, i do that.

Alright, New Maps server.... What new maps you got? Or was this made for the upcoming new maps? Just kinda curious, love seeing new stuff, just means the mod is still moving forward!

RIP fellow drummer, didn't even see this, thanks Fobbeh

O M G Dude good luck, i was a student teacher for about half a semester, will never teach again or at least while i still have my sanity.

Nicely done, keep up the good work.

I don't understand why people are still calling "suicide" a bug..... I really don't like the idea of a spawn time, that just usually leads to increase in spawn killing. (Play many other types of games where this has become an issue). If anything happens due to this thread, just make suicide'ing cost credits.

Been playing Unreal and Source games and never realized useing a "suicide" command was such a big issue. I like the idea of loss of credits but removing it completely, i have to go against that.

There was a new post before the server was set up and tested, so yeah expect a release sometime tomorrow

Don't forget to all steam users there is a steam group for Renegade X.

Dunno what the devs are going to say about the donation thing but the community that hosts the server for beta testing is borgamers. If you really want to donate, you can go to the borgamers.com site and donate useing the link found in the forums (borforums.com). As far as i know, these forums are provided to them as well as basic hosting from DMEHosting.com. Again wait untill the devs say something on this, i'm sure that they will be on soon.

nicely done man, ever thought about helping the team with making maps? you've obviously got the talent and know how, why don't you give it a try

The boink is nostalgic to renegade, take it out? I agree invisible walls are always a no no in any game. If i'm not mistaken the water isn't meant to be swam through for it's poisonous (was told this)

Quit making seperate topics for stuff like this, post in an already made section especially if it's somethign like this post int he tech section or somethign or send a pm to a dev/VIP member

You don't have to do a thing, more instructions will come once the update is posted, again please don't download anything till the update is posted, for the possiblity there is something wrong with the leaked version, thanks
