    I wonder why Discord is only used for the news but not for actual people talking about the game (Renegade X, in question). Forums are going quite slowly. This game is still gonna be alive, right? 2 years ago I think I saw like up to 60 people playing on 1 server which was impressive, but then how come there is no discord and barely any movement on forums?

    I would say our discord is quite lively. Although there are no major changes planned for Renegade X, we still have active discussions on a daily basis!

  3. Hello! 

    Yes the community size has been about the same for roughly the past 3-5 years now. Actually we still regularly have about 60-100 players playing every day, more  on the weekends. We hold organized matches through discord. Which really bring out the true spirit of "command and conquer mode".

    Our dev focus has primarily shifted toward Firestorm and its release on UDK. We know that UDK has many limitations and even moreso there are a limited amount of people willing to work on it for basically no compensation. Ideally later this year, once Firestorm UDK is released, we plan to shift towards using ue5. That itself will require some new skill sets, manpower and planning.

    Unfortunately we can't release on steam since we are using EA's IP, which goes against their modding agreement. 

     

    As far as Renegade-X, we see it as basically complete. There a few things we'd like to get out the door before calling it "1.0".

     

    Of course donations are always appreciated!! They help fund servers and other costs, and give us more room to experiment with outside talent.

Who will you root for: Nod, GDI or would you like to see a bird's eye view? We'll showcase it all!

     

    Mark your calendars for February 25, 2023 11:00 AM CST / 5 PM GMT & February 26, 2023 11:00 AM CST / 5 PM GMT!! We will be streaming for 1 hour each day.

    Many thanks to all involved  for their time and support with this event!

  5. Apologies about that, we've had to change nearly everything with Renegade X on the backend due to malicious actors. Best to reach us through Discord. but if you can't; just ignore the warnings about the launcher being a virus. We pushed the launcher code through quickly, so anti-virus providers haven't updated their databases yet

  8. Sniper VP Rewards Mutator

    View File

    Here is the mutator for sniper vp killer rewards. I've included config options for Marksman, Ramjet and DeadEye/BH sniper rifles. You can adjust the percentage of rewards for each sniper rifle type in UDKSniper_VP_Killer_Rewards.ini. Something I found when looking at the game code prior is that the sniper rifles that BlackHand and DeadEye use actually give bonus VP for kills over every other class, so you get a +1 VP bonus, I'm not sure why their rifles are given bonus rewards but I've added a setting in the config to disable this bonus VP. There are a few useful logs from the mutator that you can use to determine current values, just do a search for SVPKR to get them all, examples below.

    SVPKR: BaseVP for Kill of Soldier with Rx_Weapon_SniperRifle_Nod and sniper modifier at 61% is:1.2200 (Default: 2.0000)
    SVPKR: Sniper VP Bonus Enabled (Bonus Amount: 1)
    SVPKR: Sniper VP Bonus Disabled (Usually: 1)
    SVPKR: Rewarded VP: 4.2200

    You will notice that Rewarded VP is different from what the modifier VP says this is because the rewarded VP is after all other additions have been made such as if the victim was holding a beacon, since they are not sniper specific I haven't made it log that information. Sample Config

    [Sniper_VP_Killer_Rewards.SVPKR_SniperVeterancyModifiers]
    SniperRifleVetPercent=100
    MarksmanRifleVetPercent=100
    RamjetRifleVetPercent=100
    
    [Sniper_VP_Killer_Rewards.SVPKR_Rx_Pawn]
    DisableSniperBonusVP=false

    HOW TO USE Add mutator to list of arguments: ?mutator=Sniper_VP_Killer_Rewards.Sniper_VP_Killer_Rewards Set your settings in the config: UDKSniper_VP_Killer_Rewards.ini If you want anything adding or tweaking let me know.

  9. I think until Beta 3, the game didn't have passive income at all.

     

    It became a real slog. And playing with the values at this point to find a better "sweet spot", is beyond the scope of what the team wants for RenX at this time.

  10. Not sure what else to tell you.

    I treat every accusation impartially. I'm friendly with everyone, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't bring the hammer down if the situation calls for it.

     

    But as said before, the UDK engine that runs Renegade X, is janky as hell. Lag, frame drops, missing animations, bugs - all these can easily contribute to the perception of "hacking/cheating". And maybe some of it is borderline abuse of the game as it was made (eg a light tank ramming into a medium tank and completely getting underneath it).

     

    Another factor, some of these players being accused... they play video games like 10+ hours per day. I don't care what you're doing with your life... but anyone who puts that much time into anything will become expert level with that kind of dedication.

     

    And not every situation will always be handled swiftly and correctly. were all human. And some of it is out of our control; but we do what we can when we're available.
