My team and I have been thinking about how much easyer it would be if we just made our mod stand alone and not need renegade to run, do you think this is a good idea?

That's called "making your own commercial game". You couldn't use any of the assets (textures/models/maps) from Renegade to do it.

I beleive you are talking about an expansion pack? That would be making a copy of all the things renny runs on, like Ren Alert does.

As long as it won't run unless Renegade is installed, yes.

well, umm... isn't it a bit to big to download? Confused

and why would you do it? I don't see the point... normally, just put your mod into the renegade data folder, and then insert the renegade play disc... and play the mod.. so why would you do it? Confused

Its easyer to change every thing like if we just have a pkg mod file we would have to put in hunderds of pics with it for the menus and movies and single player and when ever the player wants to change back he would have to delete all the files with an expantion you install it and its easy to chage back just choose and option from the menu

that's no problem, you can make that easy with a pkg file. just search a program which can make .exe files. like wise install master.
