How do you un-install it? I rather wait for the official version to come out.

He obviously means non-beta. And to answer that I would say that it will probably be some time before the first Release Candidate comes because fixing bugs takes time Wink

I see a 'backups' folder but no uninstaller. An uninstaller should be standard, players should always have the option to rollback in case a bad build goes out.

Yeah i know, its like they don't want people uninstalling! Maybe come out with an un-installer that deletes every single file(even the hidden ones) from your computer, along with restoring your old files!

but does anyone know how to remove every single file? I have no problem uninstalling-re-installing ren again. but i know TT puts more files somewhere else(like app data folder), but where else?

No it's like we didn't want to make a lot of people wait longer for TT. Besides that, an uninstaller would be rather difficult I gues due to changed to the registry, and of course changes/patches to a lot of files. Because of this it's not possible to easily uninstall it or to install the patch manually.

Easiest way is reinstalling renegade for now.

Ouch...

Maybe there needs be a disclaimer of this oops PRIOR to downloading to that people are aware that they cannot rollback.

Disclaimer for what. Only stupid people have to resort to reinstalling considering many were told before installing 4.0, to make a copy of their renegade folder just incase.

Well, perhaps we didn't think of that, and well, we did mention beta. Not everything is flawless unfortunately, which is shown by the lack of a uninstaller Razz .

Afaik, you can make these changes to uninstall.

- Move files in <rendir>/backup/ to their original locations (may be <rendir>/data/, may be <rendir>/).
- Remove <userdir>/My Documents/Renegade (optional, save some space)
- Remove files that are new in TT (optional, the only big one is the directory <rendir>/ttfs/ and all of its contents, the other files are quite small and I don't have a complete list ready).
- Remove HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Westwood/Renegade and HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Wchat from the registry (not recommended, you gain no performance or anything by removing this, and if you do it wrong you may mess up other things.)

Some configuration changes you made in TT may be lost, your original Renegade configuration (before you installed TT) will mostly be restored.

As for why there is no uninstaller: Removing the renegade directory is all you really need to uninstall it. Eventually 4.0 is supposed to be a automatically distributed patch, so for the final version no uninstaller is necessary anyway, and no earlier version of scripts.dll ever had an uninstaller either. Sure it would be nice to have something like that, but I can see why it was never made. (Actually, many software patches cannot be uninstalled without uninstalling the software itself.)

Knight, uninstalling Renegade is the normal procedure. The things I mentioned in my previous post show where TT stores files/registry entries. They are not used by Renegade without TT to my knowledge.

Pro-tip: read the post above yours, it explains where the files are stored.

No, the procedure I described above is safe; I would not have posted it otherwise. I don't know what you mean by "no game joiner no scins or maptextures".

rr was a great tool and still is had it,s own server list and you was ok with useing better map textures and scins in game

4.0 on my comp would not allow any scins or textures also had trouble trying to join with rr as my source for server list.

not all of us use xwis or gamespy ect

if 4.0 was anything like rr then it may have been great but as it stands I will wait another year to try it again . the problems it caused me out weigh the need to play on the 4.0 only servers

RR does not work with 4.0.

rr launcher was just a list of server's broadcasting to gamespy. You can still use it.

Use Renlist instead http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=38221&start=0&rid=2 1615

Theres only like 20 launcher utility for renegade TT didn't need to make another one.

You can still use any skins or modifications you want but 4.0 servers using the anticheat approve only certain files ( depending on server owner).

If i said it as melware i would say it is. I just like to know where files are going on my computer, specially when its my Tech school computer(which I own). Doesn't everyone like to know where files go?

And blacky talked me into using 4.0 so no need to uninstall for now Smile
