Recently someone going by the name of Trooprm02 who recently decided that he wanted to "screw up" Renegade. He has taken private and confidential information belonging to Tiberian Technologies including private scripts 4.0 test builds, and private Tiberian Technologies source code and spread it on multiple sites online without permission from Tiberian Technologies.

Trooprm02 got hold of the source code because a source dump was uploaded to a server that was not as secure as it was believed to be. The source code was only up on that server for a very small amount of time and was removed when it was discovered that the server was not secure enough. The test builds were obtained through his access as a Reborn tester (something which has now been revoked). We have tightened up access to the source code and it is not possible for outsiders to gain access to scripts 4.0 source code anymore.

Some of you may have noticed that there is Westwood Studios confidential code in the source leak. We are not at liberty to discuss details but we have a special deal with EA where Tiberian Technologies obtained access to certain pieces of the Renegade source code to use in conjunction with our own code; due to various legal issues it was not possible for us to obtain the entire source code. This is a special deal and only applies to Tiberian Technologies. Please do NOT pester EA for access to source code as you will just ruin the relationship Tiberian Technologies has with EA and will not get any code. We can say this with all honesty, because EA has been a lot tighter on their source code recently, this was before the leak.

Despite what some of you are saying TT is FAR from dead, if anything, this leak has only made our resolve to get 4.0 out the door even stronger. Tiberian Technologies will be proactive in releasing fixes for any new cheats, hacks, server exploits or other bad things that may result from the use of the leaked code. There is no information in the leaked code related to serial hashes or to the key parts of the anti-cheat. Server owners can rest assured that we will be able to work much faster to fix server exploits in scripts 4.0 than was possible with previous scripts releases or with projects like BIATCH. The auto-update feature will help us ensure that fixes will be spread swiftly throughout the entire community.

We would like to ask the community to work with us in stopping the abuse of the leaked files. If you have downloaded the leaked files, please delete all copies (especially the leaked source code). Please do not distribute the leaked files anywhere and please do not use any of the code from the code leak for any purpose. The use of the code could have undesired effects due to the beta nature and the unreliable source. For our sake and your own, please wait till there is an official beta.

If you discover a site where a copy of the leaked file is being distributed, please inform Tiberian Technologies so we can have the file taken down. We would also request that you do not play Renegade with the leaked test build as it may contain bugs (including bugs we have already fixed).

As you may or may not know we are working hard to get a server scripts release out the door ASAP. To help with this we're having a test event on Sunday, as you can see here: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=37107&start=0&rid=2 0224

The stuff he leaked wasn't heavy stuff, it was an old code base.

Old yes, but could give hints for potential new cheatmakers. Don't think it would tell 0x90 a lot of new things, but still...
