I think that this new client side patch should also fix some small things. Things that everyone sees and thinks: this isn't that important but it would be nice if it worked correctly.

This is the topic for that Wink. Some things I have been thinking of:

* the "new account"-button should redirect to a working page. God knows how many people never tried this game because of that error
* the "recruit" tag in-game is annoying to say the least
* quick match game doesn't wok anymore. While this doesn't seem like a good Ren feature at this time to me, it could at least redirect to the adv game listings. At the moment it just says that your password is incorrect :s
* the 'news' button in the bar where u also have "my information" could redirect to rencommunity.com?
* maybe a small fix so more than 5 pages per 10 seconds from outside a server are ignored. Implementing a /ignore command to put someone on your page ignore list from inside a game as well
* extend the buddy list to more than 20 persons
* add the game.exe from TFD so everyone has a no cd patch
* add the extended options list to the options tab so we can skip the quit button, ... (options that are in registry)

Add more of your ideas in this topic Smile.

I'm too. When i bought renegade, i was wondering why wouldnt they work.


And it would be nice if they could make it so if you like host a game , it lets you choose a game mode. And if you could customize the game mode. That would be so nice and really really fun. Renegade is waking up again Very Happy

A ConsoleCommandRegistrant<> class would be nice. This way we can add console commands without having to know ASM. Very Happy

Remove the "Curved Surfaces Support" thing in the graphical options. I don't think that has EVER been able to be enabled by anyone anywhere.

"add the game.exe from TFD so everyone has a no cd patch" already planned.
Don't know about the others.

I'm not sure if anyone else gets this...

When I click Advanced Game Listings and log in, Renegade seems to freeze for a variable amount of time, sometimes as short as 10 seconds, sometimes as long as a minute, until it unfreezes and acts normally. I'm not sure if this is at all fixable or related to what we're discussing here, but at the moment, it's my biggest gripe about Renegade and would love to see it fixed.

I've been under the assumption that it's simply the client connecting to the listings server and getting all the running servers, but then how could it possibly take as long as a minute when simply pressing the refresh button never takes longer than 5 seconds to update the list?

It takes that extra 10secs when you have pkg maps in your data folder, it won't if you take all of them out of it. But yes it would be nice for that to be gone.

Remove all the pkg mods/maps out of your ren data folder and it won't take that long.

Though really it would be nice if that could be removed so it doesn't take so long when you have a pkg in your data folder.

I know that is causing to do that. It is the mod packages that you have in your data folder. If you delete them all, then that problem wont happen again. But we all need some mod packages, so it would be cool if they fix that bug too!

Is that actually a bug or was it planned for some sinister doings by XWIS? ^^ Stealing all of our personal beta maps Big Grin
Does renegade actually upload the packages to XWIS?

Mind you In my opinion the game listings should be scrapped altogether and instead replaced with the resurrection pre-load version.

It probably scans for stuff that could cause the zero bug. If you have a PKG, it might scan inside it.

And yet the 0 bug persists.

Another bug to report is that when you play a pkg with a custom HUD, it may stay with you (on mix maps) until you restart the game. I hope they fix that.
EDIT: Also hud images for weapons (top of screen) in packages and mixs don't load correctly the first time they are updated. You have to collect another weapon first, and then the new weapon has the same problem.

Thought of another:

Vehicles, when purchased, have their turret face at coordinate 0,0 for whatever reason. It is personally annoying, and should be considered a bug that should be fixed if it is not already.

EDIT: Animations, when switching from third to first person always go out of sync with their sound. Not a biggie, but if anything can be done about it, awesome.

Well that makes sense, seeing as all of Rp2's new releases are .pkg's (including the countless number of testing maps we made lol).

Well thanks for the info, and yea, it would be great if that could be fixed lol.

The vehicle aiming is a 3rd-party glitch. In MX0, the outro should (renegade without custom scripts or patches) have the mammoth barrels pointing forward when it has them pointing left of the camera.
It also happens with turrets with no AI as well.

To Zack's request:
It's very nice, but probably won't make it into the scripts/bhs due to client-side security issues Sad Never fear though, BI has a solution to our hook woes in the works.

Can anyone explain more about this problem "Hud images for weapons (top of screen) in packages and mixs don't load correctly the first time they are updated. You have to collect another weapon first, and then the new weapon has the same problem.

Full steps on how to reproduce it would be nice (as I have been unable to reproduce it myself)

That happened to me when I added a new gun to a map. When exported as pkg, the hud icon went fubar, when exported to mix it worked just fine.

Also, when using a custom hud.ini to decorate the menus, everythnig works fine when using 2.92. However, when using 3.x, on the purchase screens, only the shadows of text appear.
index.php?t=getfile&id=6942&private=0

Edit: While looking at the image, I also noticed the Cost x2 text below the powerplant status.
