Modding renx

[MPF PwnCall]

Quick question about modding. 

Would Ren X be moddable to be changed and released as a completely different game with its own launcher?

 

im not asking about the feasibility of this but rather the permission to use the models, code, etc. Either permission from the ren x team or if EA will allow it through their agreement.

You can't profit from them and would need permissions from both parties and it is unlikely to get it from the devs if EA do not permit extended usage.

What would be the point of making a separate modded RenX when you could just release the mod as a server-side addition to RenX?

[TK0104]

You could just make a server with some mutators to create a custom game mode. As long it's still Renegade X

[MPF PwnCall]

That would possibly work. 

 

Are there any limitations for mutators?  Mostly looking to change vehicle/weapon stats like speed damage etc.  and things like getting rid of the running mechanic.

 

just looking to see if this would be an option, and with custom mutators could others join the server without having to download anything extra?

 

thanks for the responses

The mutators are automatically downloaded on server join.

Just bare in mind they tend to download slowly (but are quick if they are small enough)

So is that a one time download or every time you join the server?

It's cached on the game client until it's stale, which takes quite some time of not being loaded. The download can also be sped up by configuring the server to use an HTTP server for downloads.

Out of curiosity so that the original question is more answerable, what is your actual intent/goal?

if you're going to try to remove sprinting, look for a way to mimic the air acceleration from the original if possible

How would you set up something like this?
What do i enter in which INI file to redirect a download?
Thanks for the help

@yosh56: clearly I was hoping for more context, I know how to read (most of the time). If I'm going off of only what he said, then I suppose he's aiming for some sort of CNC-Classic mode in an effort to be more faithful to the original game.

Now, the actual important part from the above thread is this:

[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://www.edtnint.net/renx/maps/

Which is included in UDKEngine.ini. By default, RedirectToURL points to http://cdn.renegade-x.com/site/gamerepo/ . Everything else is already more or less configured -- you just have to point RedirectToURL to your own HTTP server. You basically just throw files into a flat-hierarchy directory, which might look something like this:

Very nice, thanks a lot for the help!

Quite curious to see a Classic-Ren on a server.

Vehicles also have a 'sprint', just a reminder.
