A lot of components from the original Renegade X need to be recoded and remade, so Black Dawn as a preliminary step will help us get to working on the multiplayer component again. Also, since it is now standalone, this will act as a demonstration to those who have either not played Renegade X, and those anticipating the next release.

Hi Felix Probably the most important aspect in starting a mod is having a team first. Try to get an array of skill available before going forward with the project - this could include 3D and 2D artists, animators, programmers, level designer and a person/people familiar with the Editor and its use. Have at least 1-2 people in each of the above categories minimum before starting, and be sure to always be on the lookout for more recruits after starting. There are plenty of freelancers on the web as well that are willing to do art for a project (in order to better their portfolio), good places to look for members would be the game-artist forums, moddb forums, polycount forums, and others. Also, make sure you've got a clear cut design document for the game. Agree on gameplay features, and most importantly, what is needed to complete the project. It's good to have something like this before hand as well, in order to cease any disputes over how the gameplay should be like when the mod is at a more critical state. Be sure to set up a mode of communication, like an internal forum, and try to have things like team meetings on MSN or Skype every so often to keep your members interested and working for you. Stay out of the public eye until you've got something great to show off. Once you decide to launch your public community, use venues like ModDB and other sites to advertise for your mod. Keep working at it and good luck.

Good to hear from you Coffee. I will be giving all applicants a final response soon.

Right now we are mainly looking for someone who can model highpoly and lowpoly characters, UV maps, normal maps, 2048x2048 textures and spec maps.

As this thread mentions, we'll be releasing Operation Black Dawn (singleplayer level demonstration) soon, and after that we will be focusing on the multiplayer standalone component.

You guys don't have to reply if you can't help, we don't need 6 billion replies here :lol:

Hi Renan, thanks for your interest in the mod. Do you have an MSN?

Renegade is a game where you cannot always access vehicles though. If infantry died in three bursts of a rifle, or one tank shell, they wouldn't be able to balance out with vehicles. Tactical infiltration of an enemy base would be near impossible, especially when the airstrip or wf is down, and the game would revolve only around vehicles. Besides, if you really want to kill infantry quickly, head shots with a sniper will always get them in one hit.

Actually I already saw the article on the front page's news fader. Anyway the final version is literally an edit, where I say "4 months" should read "8 months" (I filled out this interview a while ago.)

Fixed.

Now that Operation Black Dawn has been announced, the popular Command & Conquer news site CNCNZ has posted an interview today with Renegade X founder Fobby. The interview shares some exclusive details about Black Dawn, and further discusses Renegade X's standalone multiplayer release, the UDK, the mod in the public eye, new features and more.

It's been a while since our last update, but some very exciting developments have been happening behind the scenes over at Renegade X. Some secrets will be unveiled today in this update, and others will be left aside for another time, soon. Over the past few months, the team has been busy with several things. In relation to Renegade X, we've been working on porting Renegade X over to the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), which would successfully make Renegade X into a free, standalone indie game. This process has required us to recode some basic elements, and create some new static meshes for the UDK versions. The UDK really is a new beginning in many ways. On May 4th 2010, the team released a new image and mysterious riddle. After many elaborate guesses and some pretty close dissections of the riddle, some figured it out: Black Dawn. Renegade X: Operation Black Dawn is a standalone singleplayer demo, featuring the UDK. Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker is back, and in a new original level designed from scratch by Totem Arts. The Brotherhood of Nod has captured the renowned GDI scientist Dr. Ignatio Mobius, and have taken him to an island stronghold. GDI's only hope in getting back Mobius is through the use of force! Capture the enemy beachhead under the covering fire of Gunboats! Fight in large scale and covert battles! Witness cinematics, A-10 strikes, cruise missiles, Ion Cannons, hovercrafts, and much more! See the new, improved, and standalone Renegade X visual and audio experience! It will act as a preliminary demonstration and a first-hand experience of the new face of Renegade X on the UDK, and what is has to offer. Most of what is being made for Black Dawn will be incorporated in the later multiplayer release of Renegade X - this will act as a step-up towards that final goal. That's it for now - and that's just the beginning. Black Dawn is coming soon to a computer near you! Be sure to keep up with Renegade X in the coming days and weeks for more exciting updates on Renegade X: Black Dawn, and the UDK multiplayer release!

We can also freeze time

All questions will be answered in time.

It says we had 45 players on Saturday; I don't remember that happening.
