It's time.... for another RenGuard update! More and more tuning and building has been completed since we last spoke. A lot of the development has been done in the secret back end of things.

But, what I can tell you is that it's working. All of the components can complete their primary functions. What exists now are necessary additions to clean and polish the program, and make is usable by "darn near everyone".

This weekend we developed the concept GUI which Scorpio is integrating into the client-side application. BRenBot for Linux will have full integrated SSC (server-side client) support, and Dante is working on adding support into BR.NET, while djlaptop is nearly done with the creation of the server-side client for those who use other software to moderate your servers.

We're also finished with the auto-updating of the application. This of course also means that outdated versions will not be allowed to connect to RenGuard-protected servers.

Another important piece finished is banning. We can ban users from the RenGuard network by username, IP, and serial. And before you ask, we're not collecting your serial. The RenGuard client will one-way encrypt your serial before it's transmitted to our servers.

Also, the RenGuard client will support multiple languages. As you might have seen already, we're gathering files for other language releases of Renegade plus all the menus can be in your native language.

Soon we'll start stress-testing the servers and looking for content editors for the RenGuard MOTDs.

Look for changes to the RenGuard site in the next few days as we get closer to release.


I'm the bawss.

We would tell you our estimated date, but we don't want to disappoint you if something happens... the team is all volunteers who have real lives and jobs and things happen.

We probably won't make public release by Christmas, though.

Thanks for the news, I care less about cosmetics than the functionality.

That is why I was hoping for it before the holidays, because those that contributed deserve a very merry one.

You'll have to beg Scorp for extras like that. He's working his ass off on RenGuard after coding for 16 hours a day at his real job.

So could I use Renguard in Finnish?

No... but isn't RG a seperate program? It could be always translated for another language.

Okay.. clarification Smile

Two things.

First, we're getting all the localized versions of renegade (the always.dat files etc that contain the sounds) so that users with these versions can use RenGuard, and RenGuard can verify that the user is using non-modified files.

Second, we're adding support for localisation. This means two things:

- The menus and messages can be in one language.
- The community motd that is being displayed can be also in a foreign language.

So, if you're finish you can have RenGuard all in finnish, even with Renegade News completly in finnish. Of course, this also means we'll be looking for content staff that will maintain their country's motd.

Every country that has a renegade community with more than a few players deserves its own community motd and client localisation.

Im guessing if you would like a edition in your language, that you should submit some translations to the team.


In the end it doesn't matter if you are who you say you are. You will still mean nothing to me.

RenAlert v0.992?

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
