  1. Q: Will we be able to customize skins/sounds/boink/models with Renegade-X the way we could in C&C Renegade?

    A: No. This is for multiple reasons. The main reason is just the way data is handled in UT3 with materials, code, and packages. In order to change a skin you would essentially have to change the version of the mod, which means you wouldn't be able to play on servers, and even then the server would download the original "correct" files and use those anyways. A secondary reason is to prevent "advantage skin" exploits/cheats.

    And how exactly would that work on maps that don't have a radar building? The native maps at least simply don't have them and never will have them, so that idea would create an unbalance between maps.[/b]

    Have you ever played a fan map ever? Lots of them have extra buildings. There is no "balance." You're trying to find a problem that doesn't exist. If the map doesn't have the Comm Center, then obviously it plays the same as the default maps. If it does, then it has a little extra. Nothing else.
  3. We've fixed the Arty's OP-ness a little, increased the Repair Gun's healing/disarming rate, and adjusted firing speeds and damages for the AGT and Obby, among many other fixes. This topic will be locked once the patch is out since it will be a new version with new balance (new topic :3 ).

    what if people made donations for buying a UE3license Unreal engine 3 license and for 2 lawsuits will that help?[/b]

    We'll consider it if you can find a way to get us $1,000,000 USD. :P ($700,000 for the UE3 license, and I'm sure EA wouldn't part with the Renegade licensing rights for less than $300,000, and even then that figure is probably really low.)

  4. Well we're taking it out in the next patch so get all the wrestling in now while you can. :P

    (We might put it back in again in the future when we have time to work out all the bugs and exploits associated with Feign Death, but right now it is simply a better solution to remove it because we have more important problems to fix.)

  5. Yes the server that maintains the list of servers went down. Currently there's only one server that does this, so if it goes down, the whole list goes down. We're going to be making it a distributed system in the future so that there will be backups in case one goes down.

  6. Merged the Arty OP thread and the Mammoth Tusk thread with the Balance thread. Keep it all in here please.

    We modified the Artillery's armor type (didn't have the correct "light" armor in 0.35) for the next patch. Have a gander at that when the patch comes out.
