The "WS Environment" mapper doesn't seem to work as well as it did in 3.4.4 (it seems to slide the texture inverse to what you rotate your camera). Normally I would just use another mapper, however it seems every custom map made for Ren (mine included) make use of this effect on the water, thus you are left with EXTRA weird water on 90% of the custom maps.

Screenshots showing the differences would help... given that we probably use this in several of the BHP games for water effects I'd be surprised if it's broken.

Actually LE renders it pretty much exactly the same as the original Ren does (I say pretty much because I'm not 100% certain if the brightness matches, but as far as movement goes its a match).

So if you want here is the mix and the le folder, just load the file up in le, go into character mode, spin in a circle with the turn keys or mouse, then do the same thing with the mix in game and the difference is extremely obvious.

Well here is the video comparing 1.037 to 4.1, as you can see originally WS Environment was useful for environmental reflect maps, now its useful for...?

I have no clue why its broken the way it is in 4.x and in any case no fix for 4.x or renegade will be made.

Cool Story Bro, I'll just keep posting bugs and we can make a topic named "List of things that are too good for Renegade 4.0"

It's not that they are too good, it's just that they are requested while noone is still working on the project, so there's noone to implement the changes.

And I'm sure there are plenty of people that'd like to step in and attempt to fix the bugs that have been left, hell I would but I already know the sharing policy with the source code is 0 and its not quite worth rebuilding 4.x from scratch just to fix the issues that exist.

And try to understand, I think you guys did great work, but with any large project accidents happen, and I get a little annoyed when there is no way made available for people to fix these issues, especially when parts of the team that built 4.0 clearly cares as they continue to check the forums.

Couldn't agree more.

Couldn't agree less.

Noone ever asked to join the team or take over support, from what I remember. We have asked some people to join us in the past. I can't speak for TT, but I personally never felt that someone was truly interested in joining.

The sharing policy was to restrict the source code to the minimum necessary, to avoid potential leaks of knowledge over the anti-cheat. Since apparently there is interest from some people to take over the project, we are discussing this possibility internally.

Well if there is even a possibly I think people should take this opportunity to make sure they test the shit out of Renegade and find every little bug. That way if someone does take over 4.1's source can have a nice warm welcome ;p

Please do that kind of testing, finding as many bugs as possible will be useful if there is a revival of scripts for Renegade.

Just let us know if and who you guys decide to let one of us start attempting to continue 4.x development for Renegade that way they know to take down their contact info and we know who to spam with requests ;p
