Welcome to the third Renegade X release version. Renegade X is the Command & Conquer mod for Unreal Tournament 3 and, as promised, we opened the doors of our 0.35 beta to the public on September 30th. Since then, we've released the 0.36 beta, and today we are opening our doors to the third phase of Renegade X. The 0.40 beta is now available!
Download the Renegade X 0.40 build today!
Renegade-X.com Mirror: http://renegade-x.com/Staff/RenegadeX_Beta_v040.exe
Borgamers Mirror: http://borgamers.com/RenX/RenegadeX_Beta_v040.exe
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!: You do NOT need any previous version of Renegade X to play the 0.40 beta! It is a totally new build, and it doesn't depend on any older betas or patches.
If you would like to play Renegade X version 0.40, it is important that you consider the following:
1. You must have a legal copy of Unreal Tournament 3. If you don't have it yet, it can be found for extremely reasonable prices on Steam and most game stores.
2. You must have the latest Unreal Tournament 3 patch applied to your game. If you have UT3, and have not yet patched it with the latest UT3 patch, then please download it here: http://udn.epicgames.com/Files/UT3/UT3patch5.exe NOTE: If you bought the Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition from Steam you do NOT need this patch (it's already included).
3. You must remove any previous versions of Renegade X from your computer. Go to your "My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3" folder, and delete the "Renegade" folder before you install Renegade X 0.40.
4. Download the Renegade X 0.40 beta.
5. Run the installation to fully install this version of Renegade X.
6. Create a shortcut to the mod. If you are unable to launch the Frontend (Server Client) application, the reason is because you do not have .NET frame work 3.5 installed. However, you can still run the mod by creating an Unreal Tournament 3 shortcut, and in the Properties target line, simply add " -mod=..\Renegade -solomod" minus the quotes at the end. Playing the mod in "Instant Action" also requires this same short cut.
Renegade X 0.40 Changelist
Below is a link to the current changelist from the 0.36 to 0.40 builds. Notable changes include the new radio command system, a new map, a new infantry class, and oh so much more. Check it out!

Volcano
A new map featured in Renegade X 0.40 is our remake version of Volcano. Check it out!
Unreal Development Kit
As some of you are now aware, Epic has released the new Unreal Development Kit (or "UDK"). This is HUGE news.
The UDK is essentially a free version of the Unreal Engine 3, available for developers worldwide. The kit includes the most updated version of the award-winning engine, with all of the necessary editors and tools to create standalone games. Everything from the ease of use and flexibility of the engine, all the way up to the visual elements have been greatly enhanced in almost every possibly manner.
With the UDK, any developer can make standalone games, without paying a cent. There is also a commercial version of the UDK: simply pay $99 USD, and you can create and sell your own games. The first $5,000 will go straight to the developer - after that, 25% of the proceeds will go to Epic Games. Not only is this great for small developers, but it's a very intelligent business move on Epic's behalf.
The usage of the UDK is totally free, and Renegade X, like many other mods, plans to take advantage of this great kit.
Since this is all new to us, we can't quite say much yet. But what I can say, is, there is a great chance Renegade X will become a standalone game in the future. Still freeware, obviously, this isn't going commercial due to its C&C themes, but a standalone Renegade X means you will no longer need UT3 to play it.
The process could take months, so our plan is to release one or two more versions of Renegade X for Unreal Tournament 3 in the near future (so don't worry, C&C fans, your UT3 did not go to waste  ). We will then spend as much time as it takes trying to port everything to the UDK and building some of the coding from scratch. It may take some time, but in the end, a standalone version of Renegade X is entirely possible, and by the time that happens, you can expect a lot of new, cool features.
Havoc
The rough n' tough Commando is back and ready to rock and roll! Some of you may have noticed that we're using a temporary "Havoc model" ingame in the past few versions of Renegade X. We are happy to present to you the recreated concept of the main character, Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker!
We will unveil the model when it is complete.
Rocket Officers
The GDI and Nod Rocket Officers are back, and now available for use in Renegade X 0.40.
 
Dev Night
We will be hosting a Dev Night next weekend. On November 21st and 22nd, the developers of Renegade X (Totem Arts) will be joining the 0.40 public servers for a game. The projected time for both days, which are next Saturday and Sunday, is 3:00pm EST. You're all invited - if you'd like to take part in this event, keep your eyes open for more news, and be sure to get the 0.40 beta up and running.

Damn it. I join a server and it plays for 1 second then the game frezes. My computer is ok, i run run task manager and exit ut3.exe
Whats the problem?

Hmm. It's a common UT3 bug according to a colleague of mine. Is it only with multiplayer or are you able to play in instant action mode? Try a few more times, if it keeps happening, post again.

I would try and play it, but first i dont got UT3 and dont intend to get it, and its not the real renegade, how ever much it looks like its, its not based on the ren engine forthwith making it not renegade.
|
..So you'd prefer a Renegade mod on the W3D engine that doesn't change, fix, or enhance anything at all? Basically a Renegade mod of Renegade on Renegade? Or, to put it another way, a completely pointless and redundant mod?

I think he's trying to say he wouldn't want to play any other game other than W3D C&C Renegade. That includes Renegade X apparently.
And yeah Yazoo, that's the right thing to do, so that's not the problem. I guess I'll see if the problems comes up with anyone else, this is the first time we're hearing it.

Im just saying ren cant ever be replaced the w3d engine is unique and i find it annoying trying to make it seam like you can rewrite it on unreal engine
|
hey guys let's play streetfighter I, streetfighter II sucks nothing can beat the original because it's the original!1
Really. Just because something's on an updated engine does not mean it intends to replace the older version. It might as the older one dies, but it's either that or the old one dies and nothing replaces it at all. I'd kinda rather the former, thanks.

You can't replace that feeling you get from playing the true and original Renegade.
BUT!
That does not mean it is not enjoyable to play a Renegade-themed mod on another engine. Will it make Ren gameplay look better and cooler? Yes. Will it be fun to play? Yes. Will it replace Renegade entirely? No.

Renegade X is not a "replacement" for Renegade and was never intended to be one. It's a project for fun: it's free, you can play it for fun, and we make it out of our own interest. I won't name names, but for some reason, before our release, some people got paranoid and said "OMG THEY'RE GOING TO KILL RENEGADE! HEATHENS!!!!" until they realize that we didn't do anything to Renegade's numbers. If anything, we're drawing in people who either haven't heard of the game, or have left the game years ago.
No doubt the balance is different, WhiteDragon, because we believe MRLS and Arty should be balanced, rather than making the MRLS worse and the GDI soldier better. You don't have to play it you know, nor do you have to get "tempered" over something this silly.
We're in it to make the best mod we can without paying a cent, to build up our portfolios and do something we've wanted to do for years. Anyone who thinks we're trying to do anything other than that needs to get checked.

The guys who are ripping Renegade X need to chill out.
So what if it is not the same as Renegade, it is still unique
compared to all the other FPS as it has the C&C mode.
I just like to play this mod to see how much work has gone into it.
I also agree that the MRLS should be equal to the Arty and both rifle men being equal as well.
I makes more sense since the Arty and MRLS are more significant than the rifle men.
By the way good job 0.40

While I wish the balance was the same from Renegade, I agree with you: it hopefully will bring people in, not shut the whole community down.

If you make art and mrl even, then you also need to make med and light even, and then u need to make the mammy as good as flamers and stanks combined. Maybe it's better to play GDI vs GDI and Nod vs Nod then.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord
