Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted February 6, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Posted February 6, 2017 Not even including OldRen on the list. See, I eventually created this topic! Was just wondering if anybody was interested in possibly mixing up the Pick Up Games by playing one of the STANDALONE mods from CnC: Renegade. The engine is old, and pretty ugly to be honest, but I think they (mostly APB) were better than vanilla Renegade after they had a few updates and fleshed themselves out. They're both free, and neither one requires you have CnC: Renegade installed or anything. You can install both from the W3D launcher... >> Here << Apparently Apocalypse Rising never actually made it out, but honestly that doesn't shock me. If the interest in trying new things is there I can look into getting a server setup, as last I checked both of those were outright dead, though maybe it was just bad timing. Before I really start messing with it (as we're going to need a way to setup teams as well) I'm just looking into the interest I can get out of it first. I honestly think it would be a welcome change once or twice to play a similar game, but not one that everyone knows far too well. 2 Quote
Totem Arts Staff TK0104 Posted February 6, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Posted February 6, 2017 I actually just like to play Renegade X but I could play Reborn or APB some times Quote
RoundShades Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I'd prefer APB because of it's fundamental differences, but Reborn wouldn't be too bad. Quote
Agent Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Tossed a vote for APB, but I still doubt I'd be willing to bother with it honestly. Quote
Hohndo Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Not super interested in this but if we had a day doing this I'd probably go along with it. Quote
testman Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Voted for Reborn because I prefer the futuristic setting more than some Sci-Fi sprinkled onto WW2 setting. I am mainly a tank guy, and tanks in APB have ear-raping squeaky sound when they move, which annoys me very much. On the other hand, I could play as harvester and shower my team with additional credits. I would join this PUG regardless of the choice. Edited February 6, 2017 by Norc Quote
Sn4ke Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Didn't play any of 'em yet. I'll stick to RenX PUGs Quote
xeb Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 C&C Reborn played that alot. I would still prefer this one http://www.indiedb.com/games/tcw-w3d/ Quote
Totem Arts Staff Madkill40 Posted February 7, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Posted February 7, 2017 These were the two mods I followed for the longest of times back in the day, old reborn before it was redone (and redone again) was bizarre it was ever abandoned in the first place but it just took too long to get redone (x2) that by the time it was at a state of being released it had been 10 years and games had moved on. I'll still play either one nonetheless, I like being a harvester on APB. 1 Quote

I believe the game-sound can easily be modded on the old W3D engine. Just open in RenTools, find the source of packaged sound file and it's filename, and shadow it with a echo-filtered version you made in Audacity, or an equal length file of "pause" (nosound). Or, just turn in-game sound-effects down enough not to be bothered. If we actually did it, I'd make one asap to reduce it if you needed it, so it'd be available early in the week of the PUG. I used to have the skills for such mods, and they've only improved (though woefully out of ratio with the rate that modern game assets and code have evolved, becoming further out of my league everyday).

Former Developers Havoc89 Posted February 17, 2017 Former Developers Posted February 17, 2017 Seems like Reborn server doesn't work, but APB's does... So... If this does happen I think it can only be APB, unless someone can host one for Reborn. 1 Quote
j0g32 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 On a similar note, perhaps playing similar mods/games (or completely different ones?) with the whole RenX community every now and then might give some inspiration for new map ideas or gamemodes? I feel that community development is somewhat stuck... Genrally, we could be learning from other Dev/Communities - what they did well, and what not - and then flesh out RenX strengths and polish its weaknesses. And I dont think that the current "hardcore" RenX community would migrate/split to a different game/mod due to this, but rather try to bring good experiences that they like in a different game, to RenX in some sort... Says me, who's never attended a regular PUG though :-P Quote
testman Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 What about Enemy Territroy: Quake Wars? Not C&C, but it's basically Battlefield between GDI and Scrin GDF and Strogg. No resource control or economy, no destroyable bases, but still fun game IMHO. 2 Quote
Xtractor Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 love et:qw and FYI it was inspired by c&c renegade Splash damage dev told me 1 Quote
Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Totem Arts Staff Posted March 4, 2017 Considering I can barely ever even get Reborn/APB to work, let alone know how their servers work, or if they allow static teams, I'd be down to also look into other projects.. Hell, we could just go find a bunch of half dead games in development and randomly have a PUG on them. 1 Quote
Canucck Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I have the orignal renalert pkg, and reborn 0.40/0.45 + some other unknown pkg version. Setup 1.037 vanilla ren server and let's do it Edited March 4, 2017 by Canucck 1 Quote
Totem Arts Staff Madkill40 Posted March 7, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) 10 of us could play a custom Vs game on Fractured Space, that'd be pretty shweeet. Fractured Space is a free game. One of the few multiplayer games I've played which doesn't suffer from latency issues. (At least for the past year) Edited March 7, 2017 by Madkill40 Quote
Totem Arts Staff yosh56 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Totem Arts Staff Posted March 7, 2017 Dude....................................... we should all play CnC 4 as a PUG.. The game may have been shit as a CnC title.... but it was actually pretty fun as far as a 5v5 'RTS' was considered. Quote

We should all spend money on that game to show our support for the CnC franchise in hopes that EA will make another CnC game then. 1 Quote

I personally liked it. Believe me or not, it was the first Command and Conquer game I ever played (played for around 100 hours; and yes, I discovered the series only around 2011). I do agree that if one overlooks the xp/level system, and the CnC label, 5vs5 matches can be pretty entertaining.... and hectic. Quote
Totem Arts Staff Madkill40 Posted March 12, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Posted March 12, 2017 I wanted Kane to shoot my wife, the fact that he didn't was the biggest cop-out in gaming history. WHAT WAS BEYOND THE WHITENESS?!!?! I WANTED TO GO WITH KANE. FUCJKIGNAS WIFEEE Quote
Crowsy Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Soooo...does anyone want to play few Kane's Wrath / Tib wars rounds after today's pug? Quote
testman Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Would anyone be willing to try out this thing?http://www.moddb.com/mods/cc-assault 1 Quote
vandal33 Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Amazing someone actually made this topic. Hard to decide since I love both fictional cold war and futuristic sci-fi... But I'll go for APB since the game is more updated and servers are currently working (since TSR is undergoing updates that may make it up to the same standard as APB). Used to play these 2 games for hours everyday. 1 Quote
