Ok, first of all, I re-installed Renegade because it was having issues. I installed the CP2 (FULL) from the downloads section. Also, download the 1037 patch thing. I load up Resurrection click and join a server, after I am in-game I click (ANY) kind of button to move or do anything, and Renegade closes. I can't do anything at all. but look around, if I try to move it closes. I can't figure it out.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
It would be much appreciated
Thank you

Install step by step and check when the problem starts happening. It may as well be a RR problem.

And if that doesn't work look in your renegade file for crashdump.txt

and its all this "drama" that will one day end renegade...

A question regarding RenGuard. Because it's a client/server application, what will stop the legions of people who cheat, and can crack apps, from reverse engineering it down to it's core protocol / encryption (which I'll assume it has), and duplicating it, so that they have their own client which responds to the server with all the correct info for an unpatched Renegade, but in fact is patched.
Personally, I think you should write a server-side only anti-cheat, which hooks the networking routines in Renegade. From there, using either the help of your staff who worked on creating Renegade, or from knowledge aquired while working with the network code in Renegade, create a system to monitor hit locations (did they REALLY hit, based on calculations by the anti-cheat (stopping BH)), how much damage are they claiming, vs how much damage their currently selected weapon really does, etc.
Then, add rate-of-fire checking, complete w/ lag tolerance (since lagged client will of course, upon delag, seem to fire faster, etc), and option to simply "edit" the incoming packets, to filter out the cheat (reduce damage, stop bullets, etc), or kick-ban the cheater (admins decision, based on anti cheat config).
Is it just me, or does that make more sense?
The flaw to Renegade of course, which is the core to the cheats, is that unlike most other games, Renegade lets the CLIENT decide hit locations, damage, RoF, etc. Vs others which say, "ok, the client fired their pistol along this trajectory. Did they hit something? How much damage did they do to that target if so. Report findings to clients".
My only concern, is that there will be alot more teams of people ripping apart the hard work of your small team, and undoing what you have done. Can you keep up writing fixes / completely rewriting the protocol to counter them once they have created their OWN complete anti-RenGuard client? If not, consider the server-side only method, and solve it once and for all, with the only version changes being to fix bugs, and not complete rewrites which will really piss admins off (if it takes this long for the initial, how long after the cheaters create their own client to counter it will your rewrite take to do?).

ill say this again to all the TT people actually working on the patch. all you have to do is fix the bugs in the game. This is your role. dont get involved in a pointfix debate that you can never win (spoony has never managed to win one and hes a decent player) nor bother suggesting solutions for the faults in pointfix. just fix the damn bugs and you will all be remmebered as renegade heroes.

I installed it step by step and it still happens. But, I no longer use Renegade Resurrection...
[Edit]: Ok, Problem fixed, BUT, now I can't play in any servers...
I log in to WOL click and join a server the loading bar gets the the end and stops then closes... any ideas?

Did you do it step by step? This means: install step 1, start ren, test if u can join a server; if yes install step 2, etc.
You don't have a firewall or peerguardian2 active, do you?

Yes, I did everything step by step.
Yes, I can join servers.
No, I do not have a firewall active when I play Renegade...
The problem is, when I join a server the loading bar goes to the end and Renegade closes...

"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Renegade(tm)\Renegade\crashdump9.txt"
or
"C:\Westwood\Renegade\crashdump9.txt"
The number depends upon which is your latest one so if I have which ends in 15 and another which ends in 7 pick the one which ends in 15(the highest number)

You still didn't get what I ment. I ment you do a step, then you test if everything works, etc. If you had done so, you'd have noticed that once you install scripts 3.x, the system starts crashing and not before that. The crashdump namely shows 3d8.dll to be the problem, that's a file that's added when you install scripts.
I'd recommend you to use version 2.9.2 of scripts, which doesn't come with 3d8.dll for the moment. I'm not 100 % sure where to download it, though. You can also decide to just install core patch 2, which comes with scripts 2.x and not install any newer version of scripts after that.

Or like you said deselect the bloom and example shaders in the 3.4.4 scripts. Also game-maps.net has the 2.x scripts.

If it's 3d8.dll crashing, that won't help unfortunately.
