Been testing it out. I'd post screenshots but I was asked not to do so since it looks rather simple right now.

It functions perfectly and does everything Black Hand Studios said it would, and more.

You'll enjoy it.

Question for the team:

I see Tomten is compiling "approved" mods and skins. Can the script kiddies piggyback these approved mods, and use them to exploit the game?

We dropped that idea early in development. Skins are not being checked at alll, because it is nearly impossible to collect all legit skins that people use. Plus, it restricts modding when every skin file has to be approved.

Skins can be disabled globally via a server side setting, however.

How often will updates be made to the allowed list, or will Hosts manually allow any new mods that come out?

An example's the BC CTF alternate flag - it's a .w3d file, and was wondering how often (generally) the global allowed list will be updated? (I could be wrong about new CTF flags etc. needing an update!)
Thanks

When someone sends me a valid w3d file, I will add it.. adding it is very seamless. I just have to put it into the directory.

There are no server checks being done on the SSC, however. Just the client!

The big nuke is a .w3d and is therefore blocked as a known cheat.

Will it block the 'extras' or is that still set by the ladder option?

Extra's are allready made by EA and will not be banned if you use them ,

it's the cheatware that will be banned.

also you can still add skinns to your data without being kicked from renguard

if i m correct

We can't do anything about extras with RenGuard's design. If you add skins to your Renegade directory you won't be able to play in pure servers.

Extras can be disabled via server-side scripts.dll modifications, but that is outside the scope of RenGuards goals.

Extras can also be disabled with a simple server-side objects.ddb mod. Smile

That pure mod kinda sucks for us that use skins that are actually good.

I think C4kitty's skins should be added to a safe list they don't get caught in that pure mode :twisted:

Pure mode is meant for tournament play. It would hardly be fair if one team or persons had neon glowing C4 and beacon textures, etc Razz

Just out of matter of interest how is that even fun?

I can kind of see how someone who was cheating may still enjoy the tactics and team work of an AOW server, but on a sniper server where the only real point is your skill (which is now removed by the click bot), why bother playing at all?

Additionally your post made me think about something else, I always wondered why there were so many noobs who repeatly fire at their team mates when its clearly not accedental (i.e. both players have been standing around the base for a few seconds), I am guessing that the click bot would fire the weapon even when it was pointed at a team mate.
