I have created a Discord server with the sole purpose of being a platform for learning, sharing ideas and collaborating. Mappers, artists and programmers (or none of the above) are all welcome to join. Feel free to ask questions about any of the 3 topics. Hopefully, this will allow aspiring creators to be able to grow and turn their dreams and ideas into a reality for other players! This server is not sponsored or affiliated with Totem Arts/Renegade X in any official capacity. If you have any questions, feel free to jump in and @mention me, or write a response here.

As I have mentioned time and time again, I'm all for trying splitting servers when they reach 64, just need more help planning it and executing it.

There was definitely hate between TmX and EKT. I don't know how much of that was changed, since it's basically evolved into CT and FPI. There may not be feelings of love, but freak and I chat every once and a while and ask questions or get help with something. While I can't speak for him or any other FPI administrator, at least the "hate or toxicity" is less vocal if it does exist. I do know for a fact that there are some hard feelings between specific dev team members (not me) and specific people in FPI, (not me) but that doesn't really matter. It will pass with time. I just personally don't agree with the way CT is run, specifically with rules, enforcing those rules and bans. There is a big difference of rule interpretation between their admin team. But that's just me. Edit: I think that we do share the main goal of keeping RenX alive though, so we will see how that works out. At least we have 1 thing in common.

The (mod)erators are a select few veteran players who we trust to give us their insight and opinions on the state of the game, and where they think we should go. And if you're referencing the developer team, which I am sure you are; you need to be invited by a current member and approved by the others to be added.

Going to quote the same post I did for your thread. Suggestions and opinions are one thing, but saying we should look back to Renegade and mold the game after that just simply isn't what RenegadeX wasn't meant to be.

Creating a complete standalone game for just a few people would be a waste I think. Our goal is to grow and reach more players. The current state of RenX is slow and tedious, as there's not many active developers left. We do have a "roadmap" that's slowly being worked on, and we are progressing at our own pace.

I think that kind of describes a bit of where it went wrong. But it's really hard to pin it to specific issues

I agree that this sort of stuff is fun, but all I'm saying is is that there's not many, if any at all, that are into this sort of stuff.

Happens when there's a limited resource.

While it wouldn't be hard to create, I don't know if anyone would use it. I think the game is a little small, and not many are interested in clan wars now. However, if you really want it or think there's a reason for it now, I wouldn't mind finishing out the required functions for it.

There actually is SOME stuff that was partially done for clan stuff. I don't think it ever got finished though. Would need more details of what you'd want to confirm if we have it done or not.

The current website we use that Tom was talking about is this. It just shows the current map (slideshow of a few images of that map) being played with player count. I could easily change it to something else with a few small changes. Could even just use videos for the backgrounds of some cool moments and good rushes etc.

Spawning in stuff and "realistic" shading/lights don't mix in UDK. If it were to be spawned in, it would be dynamic (or something like that). Which means the lighting would be computed real-time. Vehicles and characters already do this, if I remember correctly. But putting it on big structures might draw a bit more processing power than they do. We can't really be sure until we try, but anyone else should feel free to try it.

Is this a question or a statement?

There's a large difference of opinions between servers, so I don't really think working together is an option for us. We do answer each other's questions, and I help CT if they need code help or whatever, but I don't think we would do anything like that. Different ways of moderating and stuff like that are too big of a difference for me.

For the server limit, it really comes down to what is the most amount of players we can have playing at once? You want to maximize this. While obviously there's a point where it's not worth it, like over 64 players. If you have over 64, the game optimization doesn't become noticeable at all and the game will lag insanely bad. However, if we set limits to 40, only 40 people will be able to play. I think that would end up with more people just sitting and waiting all day for a spot, and usually just forgetting about the game. I am happy to work on splitting a 64 server into 2 servers at 32 players/64 limit at the end of a match. But like I said yesterday, I don't want half the server of server 1 to leave, which would probably end up in everyone else leaving if it's then at 16. It will just have to be tested on the public I guess. I will have to try this on my days off, since I don't have much time to do work nowadays.

The real question is why is this in off topic. For the server limit, I only set it to 64 because no other server will ever coordinate with us. I am happy to use the mutator I created and send half the server somewhere else at the end of a match. I could just send them to another one of our servers as well. Either way people will complain, and possibly doing that will just kill the game for that day. I just don't agree with removing commanders. And the game has no players probably because there's no advertising for it.

Front page menu? Or in game menu?

I think this version is faster than the original, but it's still good

Are you telling me Triple A titles dont advertise on YouTube?

He's not paid from the 80. From my understanding, they've worked together before and know each other. This isn't a full-time job, so there's no real need for a "real salary". It's more like a consultation.

On the test server if anyone wants to look. f5 sandboxspawn iri_veh.rx_vehicle_LAV
