[Can't join any servers]

Goto your UDKGame\Config folder and delete ANY ini file that does not start with the word Default.

Fixed.

[Shader Model 3 issue]

Sorry mate,

The Intel Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family does not support Shader Model 3, only 2 - In reality you do not even have a graphics card, more of a video card.

You cannot play RenegadeX (or any Unreal 3 Engine game) until you buy yourself a proper GPU.

[Crash]

The first log is cut off due to the binary crashing before flushing its log to disk.

The second log looks like the all well known level change crash which hopefully will be addressed in the next patch.

[Mutators - Faster Harvesters, Disable Bots, Snipers Only]

I'm glad to hear that Kil.

As we all know, the old Renegade was kept alive for so long due to it's modding community as well (at least thats the vision I see).

Thanks for your responses.

[Mutators - Faster Harvesters, Disable Bots, Snipers Only]

@Kil - I know the patch will fix some of the stuff that these Mutators do, but it was a good starting point for me to learn how to make them, unsure why you are having issues with the link, it is working okay here.

@SFJake - Yeah, a mutator list in the server browser would be nice (The original UT shows this i think).

I do hope that in the near future the RenX Dev team opens up their doors to allow for mutators to work directly with RenX code with ease, at the moment decompiling their current compiled sources is very time consuming but it sure is fun.

[Mutators - Faster Harvesters, Disable Bots, Snipers Only]

Hello and thank you for your interest in my first Mutator for RenegadeX!

This is the first mutator that i have ever created for an Unreal game, i hope you enjoy.

This mutator comes with three sub-mutators, these are:

• AGNMutator.FasterHarvester
  
• AGNMutator.DisableBots
  
• AGNMutator.SnipersOnly

Below is an explanation of each one...

AGNMutator.FasterHarvester

==========================

What does it do:

> This mutator allows you to set the harvester speed.

How do I install it:

> Ensure you have AGNMutator.u inside your CookedPC folder, and modify your startup URL to contain:

> ?mutator=AGNMutator.FasterHarvester

How do I configure it:

> Modify your startup URL with the following:

> ?mutator=AGNMutator.FasterHarvester?AGNMutatorHarvesterSpeed=1700 (Change 1700 to something else)

AGNMutator.DisableBots

======================

What does it do:

> Checks for bots being active in the server and disconnects them.

How do I install it:

> Ensure you have AGNMutator.u inside your CookedPC folder, and modify your startup URL to contain:

> ?mutator=AGNMutator.DisableBots

How do I configure it:

> No configuration is required.

AGNMutator.SnipersOnly

======================

What does it do:

> Enables an old-style C&C-Renegade Sniper Only server configuration:

-> Disables all base defenses.

-> Disables all weapons bar the $0, $500 and $1000 sniper rifle classes.

-> Disables Harvesters.

-> Disables all vehicles.

-> Disables the random pickup crates from spawning.

-> Enable God-Mode for players who have not purchased a sniper class yet (This is intended to help prevent PT camping)

How do I install it:

> Ensure you have AGNMutator.u inside your CookedPC folder, and modify your startup URL to contain:

> ?mutator=AGNMutator.SnipersOnly

How do I configure it:

> No configuration is required.

General Tips and Tricks

=======================

I want to run more than one Mutator at a time, How?

Stack up your mutators with a comma seperated list on your URL, like so:

?mutator=AGNMutator.SnipersOnly,AGNMutator.DisableBots

OR

?mutator=AGNMutator.SnipersOnly,AGNMutator.FasterHarvester?AGNMutatorHarvesterSpeed=1700

[Guide: How to Modify RenX Servers (or: Mutators)]

Just an update:

I spent a while figuring out why GroundSpeed does nothing, and this is why:

To acctually modify a vehicles speed you need to edit the vehicles SimObject (in this instance it's SVehicleSimTank).

Instead of

Pawn(Other).GroundSpeed = 10.0 * Pawn(Other).GroundSpeed;

Use this instead

SVehicleSimTank(UTVehicle(Other).SimObj).MaxEngineTorque = SVehicleSimTank(UTVehicle(Other).SimObj).MaxEngineTorque * 4;

Here is the current SimObject settings for Rx_Vehicle_Harvester:

begin object name=SimObject class=SVehicleSimTank
       MaxEngineTorque=1700.0
       EngineDamping=4.0
       InsideTrackTorqueFactor=0.30
       TurnInPlaceThrottle=0.250
       TurnMaxGripReduction=0.990
       TurnGripScaleRate=0.80
       StopThreshold=20.0
       WheelSuspensionStiffness=200.0
       WheelSuspensionDamping=50.0
       WheelSuspensionBias=0.1250
       WheelLongExtremumSlip=0.50
       WheelLongExtremumValue=2.0
       WheelLatExtremumSlip=0.50
       WheelLatExtremumValue=4.0
       WheelLatAsymptoteValue=2.0
       bClampedFrictionModel=true
   object end

[Introducing the first _PROPER_ RenX Sniper Only Server]

Hello all,

I got a little bored and thought that I would take a crack at making some Mutators for RenegadeX.

After making a few, some serious and some silly I have made a proper sniper only server.

Server Name: [AGN-UK #1] Snipers Only

Server IP: 109.169.45.139

What makes this server different?

• All base defenses disabled.
  
• All weapons other than sniper rifles disabled.
  
• All items (nukes, etc) disabled.
  
• Harvesters disabled.
  
• AGN's very own Anti-Bot mutator (No more pesky bots on the server!)
  
• Unable to die unless you have a sniper rifle equipped (Impossible if you are a sniper) - stops purchase terminal camping.

I hope to see you in game for some pew pew action!

[How to: desktop to ingame playing in less than 5 seconds]

UDKEngine.ini

Change 'bForceNoMovies' to 'TRUE'

No files have to be deleted - yay!

[Alternative launcher v0.2.0 (with sorting, filtering, ping)]

What a lovely looking launcher, very impressive - I will be downloading and using this when i get home.

I am also a c# programmer, mainly in networking based applications, i would like to see this project become open source as the community has massive potential and could assist to make this launcher even better.

[Carbine purchase persisting across rounds]

It also persists across deaths - Buy weapon -> Die -> Open PT -> Close PT -> Got Weapon Back.

[Administration Systems]

Hum i tried that with no effect, i will try again later - Thanks for your response Kil.

[Administration Systems]

For the RenX RCON protocol, is there a AdminSay command, perhaps one that makes EVA say something to all players?

I have not really looked that much, just wondering if someone knows off the top of their heads.

Thanks.

[Game crash on start up]

@chem11.

I am glad that the fix worked for you, enjoy the game!

@SadMachine

As I understand it, Steam had a massive system fail over the weekend, causing many games and steam services to go offline.

Your error message is a steam based error 'OnlineSubsystemSteamworks' shows this, I am wondering if the game works if you completely exit steam?

[Flight Controls?]

By default, the controls follow Jump and Crouch (as per your keybinds)

Space (Being Jump) for up, and C (Being Crouch) for down.

[Server Time Limit]

Hey dude,

Have you tried putting ?TimeLimit=60 onto your URL inside the startup batch file?

eg:

UDK.exe server CNC-Field?AdminPassword=****?maxplayers=40?vehiclelimit=12?minelimit=45?timelimit=60

As for the stopped clock, i think this requires a custom Mutator, unsure how to make these (at the moment!)

[How to setup two Instances on One System]

You could use:

TASKKILL /IM "udk.exe"

instead of requiring the PS Tools addition.

[Freezing issue]

Does the game still freeze in Windowed Mode?

Try pressing ALT+ENTER then playing for a while.

[Game crash on start up]

Try this:

1. Inside 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Renegade X\UDKGame\Config' open UDKEngine.ini
   
2. Locate the INI Header Field called 'Engine.ISVHacks'
   
3. Change 'bInitializeShadersOnDemand' from 'False' to 'True'

(Please note, any quotes '' are to be ignored and are for easier visual indication only)

If the above does not work, please provide system specs.

[unable to join a server]

When the RenegadeX client does nothing when you either double click a server or click the Join button this means that your renegadex client is unable to communicate with the server to establish a connection.

Another way of knowing if this is the problem, is if you try to join a server from the launcher it will just dump you to the main menu instead of into the server.

Please check any hardware & software firewalls for blocked UDP traffic.

[Game crashes after finishing a multiplayer game]

The error displayed during a map-load crash is (File Not Found).

After speaking with Kenz they are aware of the issue, hopefully a fix will come soon - keep up the good work RenX Team!

[Game crash on start up]

Inside your renegade x install folder is a log folder, please pastebin your latest log file.

Might assist us with helping you further.

Also, pressing Paste (CTRL+V) after a UDK.exe crash will paste the last known error (if there is one).

[GPU overheating issue?]

Try forcing vsync to be enabled in your nvidia graphics options panel within the windows desktop.

Might help.

[Can't Join Own Server]

HaOsLsE is indeed correct, doing it this way would work too.

inf0rm3r, are you running the server at home, or on a dedicated server/virtual server somewhere?

This information would help us.
