[Any old players?!]

Was there in Gamerz0ne (AOW/Marathon) and later Shad0w-Team (yeah, yeah). Renegade has been a staple of my life ever since 2003.

Also, hi @Xpert and @raven! I don't think I recognize anyone else in this thread, though... ;_;

[A Suggestion for Ion Cannon/Nuke Beacons]

They will probably change the timer sound. However, I think the old way was better. You could disarm a beacon a split second before it went off, therefore the nuke disappear a foot away from a building.

Visually this was stupid but gameplay-wise it was great and very thrilling and if you failed to disarm in time you would die.

Agree. It was always thrilling to hear that nuke sound, the whooshing of the missile through the air, as four engineers crowded around a beacon on the last building of the game and saved it with under a second to go.

Frackin' awesome.

[Bots seem to like hijacking vehicles]

There is an autolock for like 5 seconds. You can press 'L' to extend the locktime to 45 seconds. By pressing 'L' again you can instantly remove the lock.

Is it then desired behavior to have to manually extend the locktime for the vehicle in AI-only skirmishes?

[Bots seem to like hijacking vehicles]

If in Skirmish you abandon a vehicle (like, to get out and use a PT), and some traitorous AI walks by, he'll just... take it.

Am I missing some kind of vehicle lock function? (Though I think I shouldn't have to lock it around my own teammates...) Perhaps it makes sense for them to pick up a vehicle if you die in the enemy's base, sure, but I don't feel like this particular theft is desired.

[Need Renegade font]

I don't think it was ever released. In fact, I don't even think such a font exists (I doubt EA/Westwood vectorized their original logo as a font).

There is an old tutorial about recreating the font effect but it does not include, of course, making the actual font shape. (I also don't think the effect is as grand as the original game logo.)

You might... might be able to find a suitable replacement on dafont, but I think making it by hand is going to be your best bet.
