Maybe I just haven't played Renegade in so long that I'm behind and everyone already knows this, but I played in BlackCell server #4 and it was modded. Maps were different in that there were regular guard tower on City, and both towers and turrets on Islands. But my favorite part was that when you killed an enemy they would drop their primary weapon. So I'd be Mobius and sniping ppl with a ramjet. I don't think I bought a single vehicle the whole time.

Unfortunately, I caught myself a couple of time being too concerned with staying alive to keep my precious weapons, and not getting enough points. But it was definately a lot of fun.

I know no one else is here right now so instead of starting a new topic I'll say say what I want to say here instead of starting a whole new topic.

WARNING: Really, really random topic incoming!!!111

When you hear the name Crimson what do you think of? I think of Sydney, the one with the PIC, without the prototype assault suite. Of course she probably looks nothing like that.

We run some server side scripts.dll mods made by vloktboky.

chars drop their main weapons when they die, theres different crate pick ups and some non-defense maps have turrets/guard towers.

I can say I look more like Sydney than Sakura or Hotwire...

And why aren't these mods on other servers? Well, these people don't really like to share their work with the community as a whole, so in return they're disliked or people are indifferent towards their work (as I am). So in return, they say "We won't release our shit because people don't like us."

Gotta love circular reasoning. And only we the gamers of the community miss out. Sad

It doesn't matter. That takes away from C&C Mode turning it into a stupid deathmatch and making it more unbalanced than the game already is.

For deathmatch levels, yeah, that'd kick ass... But for C&C, no... It's worthless.

If i wanted to use this on a DM level,I would have to attach Spawn object on Death on each character?...or is there an easier way?

Aww, poor you. Maybe if you didn't treat everyone who isn't in your 'clique' like shit, you'd have the scripts and a lot more people who like your site. Not my fault you're all easily brainwashed by ACK here...He's the only one who originally disliked us for a totally different reason. Take your head out of your ass and form your own opinions next time...

I don't see where my opinions of your "keep to yourself" nature have anything to do with ACK. He is criticizing the scripts themselves, while I am criticizing the fact that you guys won't do a public release like most members of this community do when they create something.

I especially liked how WD started a thread about the scripts for sniper servers and asked for our opinions, but after all that was said and done, we got no release... it was more like "Hey, look how cool we are..." -- And THEN you wonder why people don't like Black Cell!!! The logic astounds the mind, really it does.

Nah, it sucks because of the aforementioned reason. Works great for deathmatch, but not for C&C Mode.

Vloktboky is the creator of the server-side scripts.dll mods. From what I understand he fully intended to do a public release of his work, until a certain thread bashing Black-Cell on the n00bstories forums appeared. The vibe I got from him was that he didn't like the fact that certain persons dislike Black-Cell, and in return won't release anything that would fall into the hands of people who don't like Black-Cell. I don't agree with his reasoning and think he is being a bit paranoid, but as the author he has the right to not distribute it.

Ironically, this just feeds more dislike for people who see this as a sort of "look what I have isn't it cool but you can't have it" attitude.

I talked to Vloktboky in PM for some time, and his scripts.dll mods are very neat. I wish they would be released for other servers to use, but he seems pretty steadfest in the opinion that everyone involved with n00bstories, (be it the forums or the irc channel) dislikes Black-Cell so in return he doesn't want them benefitting from his work.

Funny that he'll say that, yet they'll run my levels on their server fully knowing that I don't want them run on Black Cell because of my dislike for them.

The irony detector is blowing up!

Well the difference there is your maps are publically released, so you pretty much can't stop someone from running them. Since they havn't released anything, they feel this keeps "unauthorized" people from using them. Sadly in this case, unauthorized is pretty much everyone that isn't a member of BC.

Sure you released it, but you seem to have ignored the fact that I pointed out 2 critical bugs one of which ruins the game entirely. :rolleyes:

beaconing your own buildings gave you and sometimes other team mates negative points.

Somthing was said about the pits and some other server using vlokts building log script without permission (the pistol in the wf and ob) Then the thread on n00bstories, one thing lead to another now he doesnt want to release it.

Ack, this isnt an attack against you or whatever but. When you say it is more suited to death match.. why is that? because you can pick up weapons, wouldnt it stand to reason that a soldier would pick up ammo/weapon from the enemy and use it to complete an objective. Why isnt it suited to c&c mode?
