UNLESS... they think they have haxx0r3d Renguard, when they go to try it out in public they get owned!
Will server owners get the choice to ban anyone who was stupid enough to try cheats with renguard?

Here are couple use cases to help you out.
User launches RenGuard (which you will launch instead of Renegade once you install). RenGuard connects to a master server and scans your files for cheats and unknown potential cheat files. If it finds any, you are booted off the RenGuard network with a message of which files you are being kicked for. Renegade will not launch, therefore you won't join a server.
User skips RenGuard (or doesn't have it) and launches Renegade. He joins a server requiring RenGuard. The SSC running on the server asks the masters if that user is logged in. The user is not found on the Renguard network and the SSC kicks them. (We're still finalizing the user's experience in this case)
User launches RenGuard. User passes the scan and is signed onto RenGuard. He then copies all his cheats into his data folder and launches Renegade. Within 60 seconds, RenGuard will re-scan, find the cheats, and the Renegade client will be ended, effectively removing him from any game he may have made it into in time.
One of the best parts of RenGuard is that once you are found cheating, you have to close RenGuard and re-open it. This will make it a huge inconvenience for people trying to annoy others.
We plan to release screen shots within the next 24 hours (hopefully with 6 hours). Stay tuned! It's almost here!

QUESTION: So it auto runs renegade right? What about if we end up playing in a non-renguard server, will it run fine? Or would we have to run renegade normally..

How do you select the game you want to play ?
- Is there a list in RG
or
- Do you still pick from WOL or GSA as before.
Note: I have never connected to GSA so I don't know how that works.

Yes. What the installer does is renames game.exe to game2.exe and RenGuard becomes game.exe. What that means is that it will "take over" your normal shortcut to Renegade.
For those of you with WOL: It will validate you, then you can launch Renegade using the button in RenGuard (unless you use auto-launch) and browse the server list like always. When you join a game, you will be verified by the server if they run RenGuard, or validation will be bypassed if the server isn't running RenGuard (because the RenGuard network won't know you're playing until you join a RenGuard-enabled server.
For GameSpy: You will browse the normal server list just like before. When you select a server to join, RenGuard will intercept your request and verify you before sending you on to the server you picked, even if the server isn't running RenGuard. Of course, if the server you pick isn't running RenGuard, your teammates and opponents may or may not be using RenGuard, and you'll have no way of knowing if they are either, because if the server isn't running RenGuard, it won't (and can't) enforce it.
