Anyone who has been playing Renegade for a long time or reads various C&C sites has heard of a "relay" program. For those who do not know what the relay is, it is basically a program that acts as an IRC proxy server, to allow you to connect to WOL using MIRC or other irc programs.
The relay has been used in the past to exploit insecurities of WOL to change channel topics, kick/ban users etc. WOL fixed most of these problems, and now all the relay is good for is talking in the WOL chat lobbies. However many people also use it to get peoples IP addresses to perform DOS attacks on them.
The MAIN reason many individuals release a relay is because they infect it with a virus or trojan!
In the past there have been versions of the relay that trojaned your PC and added it to the individuals "botnet", and your PC becomes part of their DOS army. Virus scanners do not detect this trojan, since it is basically a stripped down version of mirc32.exe, and set to run silently in the background when your computer starts up.
Certain individuals are preparing to open an "anti n00bstories" website, and on it they plan to release yet another version of the relay. I highly suggest that nobody download or try this relay, as even if it is not a trojan (it probably will be), accessing WOL using the relay is just...a waste of time...as I said all you can do is talk in the chat rooms with it so big deal.
If past trends hold true, the relay will be released with an official sounding name like "Crimsons Renegade Relay". Do NOT believe that she is in any way affiliated with it. The only reason they put her name on it is to both add some legitimacy to it, and an attempt to stab at her personally. The relay may also be advertised on WOL itself using an irc bot that pages everyone who log into the chat lobbies (this has happened before). Don't be fooled, even if the bots name is something official sounding.
There are no patches for renegade, there are no aimbots out, there are no trainers or game cheats worth having, and there is no good reason to download or use the relay.
Be advised, and tell your friends. Avoid the relay.

Blazer is correct please do not Dl anything from that site.
But the fact of the matter is there are a number of bots out there that work really well. I am not gonna debate their existence as I found at least eight with a minimum of effort. Some of them require a little knowledge to make them work (a few were beyond my meager skills but there was a help forum) but they are out there. I even found whole forums dedicated to cheating and the creation of cheats, hacks, and bots. The best way to combat this is to have people who care and want to work to combat this. this issue is why we have a new policy on gameplay in our servers and tolerate no BS anymore. and gamesexpzed was not one of them.

Hmm, I may try and make some kidn of program to block it. May be hard though, but worth it... Only problem is getting people to D-load it... And making people not fake it, giving out a trojan with its name. -_-

Most of the bots that run alongside renegade create (I hate to use the word lag since it isn't exactly correct) "lag" that doesn't show as ping to the admin but DO to the user. So I hve have ben watching for those who meet the following criteria:
1. Complaints of lag when their connection to the server seems ok
2. People I have never heard of getting a lot of headshots.
3. Sudden increases of players I do know of to get headshots.
4. Pulling off incredible headshots
5. High K/D ratios
Not one of these by them selves means a whole lot but it becomes painfully obvious when you have used one as to who is using them.
The bots I tested didn't discriminate between body and headshots and not one of them was 100% perfect. But I did manage to killl players more often than not. I tested them in closed servers with DOM members that were my superior at sniping (I am not a sniper by trade).
