I am trying to diagnose if the obelisk glow effect (the red cloud thing) has ever worked when playing as someone other than the host.
Does anyone know if it has ever worked (with bhs.dll on the server/client or without) and if so, what versions of scripts.dll were involved. All I know is that I cant make it work unfortunatly and I dont know why

So you had that scripts.dll/bhs.dll version and connnected to a server and got the obelisk glow?

Ok, turns out that SSAOW (and Dragonade) contain code to do the obelisk glow. This is why so many people see it on their servers (including me on bcsrv5) but I cant make it work in my tests. The answer is that it doesnt work, SSAOW just includes logic to fake it and make it look like it works.
So, it would appear as though there might be something wrong with my animation fix (or with Set_Animation_Frame). Further testing is needed.

Obelisk glowing (the animation) worked since BHS.dll 1.9 (scripts 1.9), try the scripts.dll stuff in CP1..
I remember testing it - no doubt that it worked. if it doesn't work anymore, it might be broken. No SSAOW was needed to make it work.

Well I have the latest client scripts.dll and I have been getting the obelisk glow working properly for a long time, also worked with various older versions of scripts.dll
I always play on TK2 serv, but as far as I know that runs SSAOW (not sure which version)

SSAOW 1.5 is on our server.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I have tried several different versions of scripts.dll on both the server and the client (including both the CP1 and the CP2 versions) and no obelisk glow in my tests.
If someone can find a server that is running a stock scripts.dll version AND has working obelisk glow when used with a given stock scripts.dll version on the client, please point me to it (so I can do further tests)

Also, in the second part of my video, I'm not sure why the obelisk's so confused as to whether it should be charging or shooting, but maybe that's Renegade's fault.
