Blackhand Studios is proud to announce a partnership agreement with the BlackIntel group! The BlackIntel group is an up-and-coming organization who has learned a lot about the Renegade engine and has released useful fixes, including ones for "Wall Lag", "Turret Lag", and UDP flooding. There is a lot more on the way -- details are available here.
This agreement will create a new division of Blackhand Studios, appropriately called the BlackIntel Division. What this means is that BlackIntel will continue to function as a separate group and will not be directly "controlled" by BHS, though its members will be a part of BHS as well as BlackIntel. Many of their fixes will be released via BHS in Core Patches, but those changes and modifications not meeting the rigid requirements for Core Patches may be released independently by BlackIntel at their discretion.
BlackIntel has also uncovered some places where certain cheats can be detected and stopped server-side. We hope to use this knowledge to increase accuracy in cheat detection and reduce the dependence on RenGuard.
With respect to RenGuard, some BlackIntel members will participate in the final coding steps and extensive testing required of the upgraded and improved RenGuard 1.04 client and the RG2 backend network and help get this software out to the players sooner than it would have been if this partnership weren't made.
So, without further ado, I present the newest members of the Blackhand Studios - BlackIntel Division:
* StealthEye
* EvilWhiteDragon
* Flict
* Cat998
I'm the bawss.

Great news. Hopefully we'll see some more fixes from the Blackintel guys.
|
You will, I can assure you that

Nice!
So could the server-side detection of cheats also be included with the RenGuard SSC?
|
Well, we're working on such a thing and we do have atleast some part of it done.

This is good news! Hope it leads to something.
|
I hope so too

Why is dead6re not included in this, and why is EvilWhiteDragon? That seems absurd to me :-/
|
well, Crimson hasn't included the coders/modders just the admins. And I'm in there because I'm like, the founder/co-founder of BlackIntel.

You seem like a nice guy, don't get me wrong because there arean't too many of them around here these days...
But to me it seems strange to include a PR man as part of the team rather then someone who can code.
But anyway... nice one on the co-operation, hopefully if nothing else it will mean that stealtheye's work will be included with johnWill's.

Well, we have agreed on a partnership, not a merge or takeover eh so that's why. Else I would not be of much use to BHS, although I'm very close to the source of virtually all hacks of BlackIntel. Because right now I'm typing this from StealthEye's home

I just wanted to add onto this. For some reason, we neglected to discuss whether or not dead6re would be included in this partnership. I am happy to announce that he IS now included and is a member of the BlackIntel division of Blackhand Studios.
We will keep you posted of any other news that comes out.

Thanks Crimson and the admins of BI for including in this great opportunity!
Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.
