    Renegade X: Patch 5.76 - Patch Notes

    in News

    Posted · Edited by RustyShackleford

    • Stamina has been removed, meaning you can now sprint permanently

     

    HOLY SHIT THE MAD LADS DID IT.

    I've been pushing for this since the first day I played in 2011.

    EDIT: wtf the shift key is still active. it was only the stamina removed, which is true to the changelog. I was hoping no more walk, only sprint. But this is good enough

    Is it ethically correct to mine underneath PP door frame? (which causes the mines to disappear)

    OP asked a philosophical question, and got some smooth brained pseudo-technical answer.

    If you are Nod, then yes because Nod are the bad guys and they don't have the same ethical dilemma that GDI does.

    As GDI, no you shouldn't because that is unethical and goes against the military code of the GDI.

    It is also important to remember that GDI possesses WMDs, but they are only used as a retaliatory strike, thus you must wait for Nod to plant the first nuke, which then legally allows GDI to retaliate with an ion cannon.

    Hopefully this clears things up.

    OG Ren it came down to:

    1. Marathon servers were much less common. It was typically 45 min AOW servers.
      1. This is why there was a lot of controversy with the community made patch for OG Ren that fixed the unbalanced points system (you could farm a lot of points using ramjet to shoot heavy armor tanks like mammy, similar to how VP farming with arty works).
      2. Also it was common to purposely allow your most vulnerable building to die in order to prevent point farming. i.e. the Nod Ref on Under.
    2. Time-To-Kill in OG Ren was significantly higher than in Ren X. This allowed for Ion/Nuke rushes, since it was a lot easier to cover an Ion/Nuke. Also I think the countdown timer was shorter?
    3. APC + Tech/Hottie rush. You are right these were the most popular rushes. OG Ren APC driving dynamic is much simpler. In RenX it is much harder, you'll see people drive into each other trying to APC rush.
    4. OG Ren doesn't have EMPs, AT mines or Silos, and of course no veterancy. Everything added in RenX that makes it easier to kill, also makes it easier to defend.
      1. Back in Beta 3 when EMPs were added and they could be bought by any character (and before Commander powers), we regularly had 4 hour matches for several months until EMPs were nerfed. During that short period, tank rushes were nearly non-existent.
      2. Also back in Beta3 when hotties/techs carried Carbines, it made inf-building kills very common. Hottie/tech was cheaper than the 1000chars and could kill just as fast if not faster.

    I'd say #3 is most important. If APC handing is improved, the APC rushes will be back.

    I privately refer to as a criminal organization

    Here I thought it was just a bunch of wizards that got picked last in gym class. 

    This is so much cooler, and it really shows that crime does pay.

    How do I join this crime gang?

    none of that should be taken as fact

    Unfortunately I kind of doubt that'll happen (and honestly it's kind of a coin flip whether or not this post will get deleted since everyone's gonna over-analyze every word and make me out as the devil lol)

     

     

    A ReShade preset to "enhance" your gameplay experience through visuals

    in Renegade X

    @CatGirls420do you seriously expect that we would download some random files form a github page?

    Well I did and it's amazing!  I'm serious! @Havoc89 get in here.

    So the actual product is https://reshade.me/ 

    I downloaded the installer from that website instead of building my own from github

    Once installed you can literally customize the RenX post processor by adding custom textures or shaders and it works flawlessly.

    I was able to turn my RenX into a CRT !

    The second screenshot is my standard setup without ReShade

    The third screenshot (the darker one) is with Curves.FX enabled in ReShade. I think it looks much better. It removes the grayish tint over the original.

    Now I'm just trying to figure out how to make use this to over-ride fogdensity 0 @poi can you share your settings pretty please.
