Renegade 2007: Video Preview, Hourglass Released and Happy Birthday Renegade!

[[NE]Fobby[GEN]]

Hey everyone. It's been a while since we've had an update, but we've got a pretty good one for you.

New Ingame Video

We have just uploaded our first ever Renegade 2007 ingame video. This video features the Nod soldier, and the maps "Hourglass" and "Field".

Work In Progress. We still have not added the buildings, so we have put temporary UT3-style bases for Vehicle Capture the Flag mode.

** Link now works ** http://ren2007.totemarts.net/Downloads/R07_Trailer_01.wmv

Enjoy!

VCTF Hourglass for UT3 Released!

The VCTF Hourglass map is complete and ready for download. This is one of the few Renegade 2007 content pieces which will be released before our first version.

Map Description: According to Nod research scientists, enhancements in Tiberium mutation have been rapidly growing in this mountain area. This deadly mutation in Tiberium has desolated the region from its plant and animal life by absorbing its natural resources. After GDI discovered the spike in Tiberium mutation, they were quick to respond, and began to establish a forward base of operations. As GDI began excavating the secrets of this region, Nod forces retaliated in an effort to stop GDI from discovering the mysteries of this mutation.

Happy birthday Renegade!

On February 26th, 2002, Westwood Studios and EA Games had released Command & Conquer: Renegade. It was the first game of its kind; blending the famous C&C formula with the action of a Shooter.

Although the game was deemed a failure in recent EA interviews, it has a strong, dedicated community of servers, mod teams, clan tournaments, and more. These groups of people have kept the game alive, and in many cases it had outlived many newer games.

If C&C Renegade has taught us anything, it is that a game can live on good gameplay alone. Renegade's graphics were never great, its netcoding wasn't good, running servers wasn't user-friendly, it didn't have any built-in anti-cheat system, it did not receive much support from EA, etc. However, the gameplay alone had driven the game this far, now on its 6th birthday.

This unique multiplayer experience is something I personally look forward to carrying onto our mod, as other mods are doing the same.

I will try and keep in touch more now that I am slowly getting more free time.

Soooooo I dk if anyone else has the problem. But I bought a 8800GT and was playing this map and it stutters and locks up for a few seconds. I didnt have the problem with my 7600GS, and i don't have the problem when playing the default map.

Still fun =D

7300 GT - No problems

hmm... doesn't sound good, I was actually thinking of buying a 8800GT myself
Can't someone confirm if that is a real problem, or if it is just this guy?

Get the 8800 GTS 512mb version, it is only a little more expensive than the GT; the brand new 9800GTX only performs a couple frames better than it.

Here's an article reviewing the 9800gtx, but it has results of the top graphics cards.

And here is the results of the 8800gts and UT3.

Ratty are your drivers up to date?

It seems every time I try to link more than one thing, something gets fouled up... :unsure:

[ratty]

Yes my video driver is the newest, I figured out my problem, it was the texture setting >_> have to have it on 1 so I don't get the lockups but everything else works fine maxed out
