Hello community!

After a long time of testing, extending and improving, Renegade Resurrection became quite stable and I am now willed to call it 'beta', what means that it can be used for testing on clients and public servers. Resurrection offers a variety of features, anti-cheating and bugfixes to Renegade servers and clients and is mostly compatible with Custom Scripts, SSGM, BRenBot, RenGuard and other Renegade software.

The modification is available for

If anyone needs a Linux RH7 version, please contact me.

Currently there are 7 servers online with Resurrection installed. The official Resurrection test server is 'Resurrection (www.icefinch.net) [BR,RR,SSGM]' at 213.133.97.60:4848. Use this server preferably for testing, because I'm running a debug version of the modification under the GNU Debugger there for immediate handling of crashes and other bugs.

Feel free to visit the preliminary Website of Renegade Resurrection now.


Greetings,
Marc aka Yrr

This basically can be used with current FDSs and work just like them?

Nice job, this is very intriguing.

I have a question though: can you elaborate on what's meant by this:
"Base defenses will no longer shoot at enemy soldiers, as seen on Mesa."
Does this mean the Mesa AGT won't shooting Nod infantry in the cave? If so, what about tanks? Or am I misunderstanding it?

If that guess is correct, is it possible to disable that change?

Sorry, that's an error in the features list. Base defense does still shoot at soldiers, but does not shoot at harvesters. Satisfied

sorry, I can't edit that post for some reason ^

Is it possible to disable, as with some of the other features?

Why should I make bugfixes configurable?

Is the AGT firing at the Nod harvester on Mesa a bug? It's plainly within the machineguns' line of sight...

You say it fires at other targets in the cave, right?

I think so, looks like a map specific bug. You may start a discussion Razz

Yes. Another solution is to change the harvester's path.

If it fires at Nod infantry and tanks, what's the problem with it firing at the harvester for precisely the same reason?

The harvester cannot decide wether he drives into the AGT's fire or not.

The AGT doesn't bother checking whether that's the case or not.

because it's not a bug imho, and you can even use it pretty well sometimes as nod. So I say that isn't a good change.

We'd ask the mapper whether it is a bug or not Very Happy

We probably can't, but I can't imagine that noone would have found out at least when the patches came out. The points is that some people appear not to want that functionality, whether it's a bug or not.

Yeah, and someone should have seen that the radio command icons don't work, but they ignored that, too.

It IS a bug, there's no way it could possibly NOT be a bug. There is no way that it's balanced for one team to have base defense hit the harvester on its normal waypath and not the other.

I'm the bawss.

How can it be a bug for a base defence to attack an enemy vehicle which it can clearly see?

If it should attack infantry and vehicles in the cave, it should attack the harvester... if it shouldn't attack the harvester, it shouldn't attack infantry and vehicles.

Mesa IS balanced, by the way, and removing this will tip that balance in Nod's favour.

Actually, I think Spoony's right, Mesa is balanced, the Nod harvester isn't destroyed by the AGT's guns, whereas if the Ob could see the GDI harv, GDI would never get a harv back. Ever.


Renguard is a wonderful initiative

If the GDI harvester's waypath stays out of reach of the Obelisk, then the Nod harvester's path should stay out of the way of the AGT. Making the gun not fire at it is really a workaround when the real fix should be changing the waypaths of both harvester so they still go the same distance into the tunnel as each other but without getting into the path of base defense.

I'm the bawss.

I'm really not sure a fix NEEDS making to something which isn't a problem and will make the map marginally less balanced with no actual improvement...

I'm sorry, I just don't see a benefit and I do see a detriment.

Why do you think that it makes the map less balanced?

nod has a massive advantage with arts on that map I did say.
Also, if this was not intended, then why didn't any mapmaker over at westwood noticed this. It is rather oblivous.

In Mesa's current state, the early-game harrassment dynamic is balanced between both sides. GDI has better infantry and easier assault on Nod's harvester; Nod's vital weapons are considerably cheaper.

Fixing the AGT "bug" will significantly decrease GDI's chances of killing the Nod harvester, so the game turns from fair to not fair - that's a negative, so please show me a positive which outweighs it.
