So, yeah how do you make/set preview images/videos for custom maps? I searched everywhere but I have absolutely no clue thanks in advance!

UPDATE! DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.2: CNC-Dust V1.2.zip changelist: - added a dynamic light (sorry but this looks just sooooo much better) - all containers now have collision - as for the silo flags.. in skirmish mode they all snap to the pole - removed the ugly looking glasses from hon and instead added some planks -added a few bigger bushes - blue tib now shines not so strong - if T.O. wanted to go for a piss, why didn't he just go here?? As for the flag wind direction.. I doubt there is a way to change that (?) Same goes for the "Detail mode" in the settings.. if you set it to "very low" it showes no fog.. rendering the sandstorm useless... Is there a way to force the fog even on very low settings? OMG before I forget it.. I added a very very very simple minimap. not final but it works

UPDATE! DOWNLOAD V1.1: CNC-Dust V1.1.zip Hey! I took all your kind advice to heart and releasing Version 1.1 Changes: - added some blocking volumes - added stairs to the guard tower platforms - added some decoration here and there - swiched the center silo for a blue tiberium silo - changed the credit/sec output of the blue silo to 2.5 and the other two to 1.5 - changed the sun direction from north to south (xD) - changed the smoke direction to fit the sandstorm - changed the fog density of the sandstorm to make it more dense - changed the "Trenches" to "Excavation Site" - snapped the flags of the silos to the pole - deleted the Giant blocking volume

Hey guys! I'm finally back with some news. Thank you all for your ideas (especially Ruud for letting me harrass him through the messenger xD). DOWNLOAD V1.0: CNC-Dust V1.0.zip Quick changelist: - checked all the core errors Ruud mentioned earlier - changed the red light near the Hon for orange lights - replaced some blocking volumes and placed barbed wire and fences as indicator - redone the foliage - added random delays for the sandstorm within the matinee - background fog colour changed - turned the collision off on the background objects - some minimal tweaks here and there Known Bugs: - I will do the minimap when the map is almost finished (after some playtesting) - very few bushes STILL float.. although I've redone the foliage - I left the Giant blocking volume ontop because I find it wierd if players can fly around before the map starts - still a primitive end game cam Some pics:

First of all I want to thank you guys for helping me so much ! I took your suggestions to heart and tried to fix the kismet but I'm still a noob and I dont know where the important buttons in the matinee are Right now it looks like this: - after some search for tutorials I finally got the sound into the matinee.. - but still dont have a solution for the fog.. I'm pretty sure it workes just like the sound... (with the graph on top but instead the volume it changes the density) too stupid to find out what group and what track to be used btw. as it is now the change in density isnt that drastic and you can barely see the abrupt change happening. and during playtest it didnt feel like the FPS dropped . Aaaaany waay I also took the time to polish the map a little: thanks @kenz3001 your tutorials really help a lot!

A little Kismet update So after a lot of attempts I finally got the basic idea of the sandstorm down: -some particle emitters -change of fog density -some sounds -and change of lightning brightness and color Yeah looks kinda crappy and probably not very efficient but hey it works What do you guys think? Probably a bad idea the paths in between the bases are just too small for vehicle combat.

Wow that Silo looks awesome

Some updates on the map (KLICK SPOILERS): Actually I haven't thought about that! ... replaced the ramped hon with a normal one. Hmm yeah I guess that would make things way easier. I also tried searching the Turrets properties but I couldn't find the settings for the fire rate or shooting angle I will check that kismet stuff out later I'd stick with AI defences because they can spot stealthed units. Especially handy for GDI when Nod rushes with SBH^^ OMG always loved that map back in the UT3 days. Too bad there's no one playing it anymore

Thank you guys all for your ideas Nice one! Didn't thought about that yet.. Although I think replacing the 3rd silo with a commcenter might stale the situation even more.. like imagine the enemy gets both silos and your team has none -> screwed/no money A solution might be: a. leave all three silos as they are and place the commcenter somewhere underground in the center of the map with extra tunnels or.. b. (fav) replace the 3rd silo with a commcenter and give each base an additional undergroung silo (the one ThommyK0104 mentioned) with extra spawnpoints and everything.. Yeah thats true! But if we raise the turrets damage/splashdamage and lower the GT damage we might find a balace between those two. Sounds cool but sadly I have no idea/skill how to script something like that ^^ But something like that would be indeed benefiting.. How about something like a timer where every 3 min the fog thickens/fades? Hence the name "Dust" I also updated the PT Level!:

Soooo.. first of all thank you for the quick replies Sadly.. deleting "SwarmCoordinator.exe.config" did not work.. BUT! the solution was in the "SwarmAgent.Options.xml" In there I changed the <RUUDPC> line to (whatever my pc was named in my case it was) <7734PC> Then changed the path <CacheFolder>E:....(can't remember) line to <CacheFolder>C:\Users\King\Downloads\RenegadeX SDK 28-09-2016\Binaries\SwarmCache</CacheFolder> (in my case) Next start up SwarmAgent with administrator permission and tada it worked^^

Hey Guys! So I've been working on a new map for quite a while now and I thought, I might share my ideas with you. Please note that this is my first Renegade X/UT3 map, so don't be too hard on me xD. It's an infantry only map with only the Hon/Bar active and lots of pathways. I added so far: - 1 Hon/Bar for each faction - 3 Silos (1 close to each base and 1 in the center) - lots of infantry paths - 1 Guard tower/Turret for each base (guard 1 of the 3 entrances per base = add more dynamic and oppertunities) - 3 Crates - a sand dune like area - some small trenches in the center Again, this map is very far from being finished but here are some screenshots, so please tell me what you think about it ^the general overview of the map without fog. (can't see much detail like foliage and meshes because of the small rendering distance) ^more detailed overview ^GDI base (note the Guard Tower at the back of the Barracks) ^Nod Base (note the Turret on the Hon's back) As you might have noticed there is no lightning on this map Every time I want to build lightning it crashes and showes me these 2 errors: ^Just keeps on building and nothing happens tried this with the official maps too and it's the same.. Did i unzipped my SDK wrong??? So anyway what do you guys think about the map? CNC-Dust_V1.0.zip CNC-Dust_V1.1.zip CNC-Dust_V1.2.zip CNC-Dust_V1.3.zip

Thanks!!!

Oh okay thanks! And where can I get the old version? It should work too right?

Hey guys, sorry to ask this stupid question but where can I download the new SDK/Mapeditor?? I looked at the download page but I can't seem to find it Thanks in advance

Does someone know the console codes for the new vehicles? Would be nice to try them out in skirmish mode;)

Wow that looks great ! Detail is not as important as balance and gameplay. Can't wait to play all those custom maps

Sounds like a great idea! In fact I'm currently trying to make an infantry only map with 3 silos. 2 Silos at each base and 1 hidden in a cave, The terminal of the silos at the bases are faced the other direction. So you have to go through a tunnel to capture them which makes it harder to defend because the enemy can also capture it fairly easy. Gonna post it on the forum when the map is nearly done.

In my opinion the current lightning is perfect! It really fits the Tiberian Sun theme. The dark corners provide some hiding spots for infantry and stuff.. Also not every map should be so bright like Walls.

Totally agree with this one. Officers are rarely played but with that kind of power they might actually be usefull. Remember the OldRen singleplayer campaign? Didn't the Officers drop all kinds of goodies on parachutes?

Well first of all there are some nice improvements^^ This map needed more infantry paths. As for defences; are there just 2 guard towers for Gdi and 2 turrets for NOD? (+AA of course) Honestly, when one side takes the field those little towers are done for... and without any gun emplacements the SBH could freely roam the Gdi base. It would be best to have something like Hourglass with Full defence (Agt or Obi + 2 MGtowers or turrets) For the placements I suggest the Atg & Obi in front of the bases and the other 2 small defences there where the gun emplacements were.

Okay, first of all the request of an recon bike is almost as old as time itself.. And we all know that history repeats itself, so I'll just quote myself: And this one.. And last but not least... We can suspect as much as we want. Unless there's an huge uproar from the community or the devs having a good day, there won't be any RB in the near future...

Yeah, I meant that it should add to the normal vehicle count, inclusive an extra count for the recon bike only. Similar to the Mommoth Mk II in Tiberian sun. The thing is, if it's map based then all players want to have one. And the team with only bikes will probaly be stomped pretty hard.
