No, for the same reason that BR etc do not work on non-dedicated servers...there is no console log and/or remote admin capability when you run non-dedicated. If you want to run a serious server, you MUST use the FDS.

I wasn't looking to run a "serious" server. I was hoping that there would be a chance of making clan games cheat free. I guess I'll have to come up with something myself then.

FDS = Free Dedicated Server, so I don't think it's possible to make an FDS for a non dedicated server?

Currently a non-dedicated server "has no console log and/or remote admin capability." Which is required for the FDS to function (as far as I understand). So the only way for the FDS and therefore Renguard to work, someone needs to change Renegades programming of how the servers are set up. And unless someone can make a substitute that runs off of the information sent through the FDS (I don't know if this is even possible or even plausible) in order to create such logs etc., it won't be possible to make an FDS non-dedicated compatible.

The FDS produces a serverlog, containing all playerjoins, chat and so on that can be read by third party programs.
A FDS can be administrated from any location too by using the "renrem" program.

BR, Renguard and all administration Programs read the logfiles, to find out who's on the server and use renrem to talk to the server (ie kick users, etc).

The Non-Dedicated Server has no logging at all and has no way to remote-administrate the server. Thus, creating RenGuard support for Non Dedicated Servers is simple Impossible!

I understand why RenGuard could only be run from the FDS, but a Non Dedicated server does have a log, They always fill up in my ren directery when I am testing maps... Had 120 of them at one point...

Maybe you're talking about the results.txt files... those can number up to 100. The day-to-day logs can only number up to 7, then the FDS automatically deletes the older ones.

I'm the bawss.

No. It's not possible. The FDS is the ONLY software that creates a console log that RenGuard needs. If a solution presents that works on non-dedicated servers, we'll explore it.

I'm the bawss.

If REOL (or something simmular) was broght back on line, and instead of the server running RenGuard, REOL did...

First of all, would that work? Running RenGuard from something like REOL would remove the need for hosts to run anything, and it would protect non dedicated servers.

If you have 2 computers with acess to internet you could create a game on 1 comp and join it via the other, OR if you got a pretty hefty and beefy power machine, you can try a virtual machine, and run a linux server, and play on a windows machine, while only using 1 computer. (bad idea tho. will slow down alot. you will need a real hefty server/comp lol)

Because you are a noob, and he not ?

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"
