We are running a WinNT server (hha2002, 18 players) together with Brenbot 1.31 and Renguard Win32 version. Pure Mode is disabled, so skins are allowed. Everything seems to be ok if I just check the server. But:

- Dozends of people are kicked although they page me with "I ve installed RG, why am I kicked"
- I know of some of my clanmates who definately have Renguard installed. They frequently tried to connect, and somehow after several tries they succeded to stay on the server. Of course, they did not change anything.
- Personally, I tried to connect with RG on. I was kicked with the standard message "download RG, bla...". Immediately, I tried again and now it worked.

To summarize: connecting to our Renguard enabled server works not 100%. For some, less then 10% of the tries are succesful I estimate.

i think your problem may be because yoru aren't running brenbot 1.33?
If you are, then ya its a known problem, RG is kicking people that even have rg installed.

I have seen the same problem.
In my case I am certain that the RenGuard name and the WOL name are the same.

There were some syncronization problems with the network that weren't discovered until we had some real load on the network. The majority of these problems are now resolved. Please let us know if this continues to be a problem.

I'm the bawss.

Also, if you are on the same network with the server you will need to add you name to the ssc_ignore.txt

This is the case, in my case Confused

However people were getting booted who were joining from the outside too.
Will a Natting firewall have any effect?

I also noticed a small bug with the scc_ignore code.
If a player is in scc_ignore.txt and joins the server before renguard starts they are not ignored so a couple of games later they get booted.

Could one of the renguard team join my server to verify if things are working right:

Game Name: [RG] LA Game ......

Its top of the list when sorted by Ping on WOL.

Thanks,
Gib

I would, but I'm at work right now and I obviously don't have Renegade or RenGuard installed here. Smile

Ok, WOL page me when you want to test.

I am turned off RG, so I can have a few games.

@Alkaline: I was told by mac, that Brenbot 1.33 isnt stable yet or buggy. I am not sure if this statement is still valid. So I am using version 1.31 with the SSC.

@crimson: thanks, we are going to check if the problem still occurs.

Sorry for the double-posting:

Just 10 minutes ago I tried to connect our server. I was told again that I need RenGuard to play on this server, although I was running it. And NO, I dont make noob mistakes like joining with a wrong username!
So I tried again and again. I closed Renguard each time. After the third try, I joined another server with Renguard (BR] WET-Server). I was able to join the game instantly. Now, I left the server and joined the first one. Now, no problems and I was able to play.

Our server is running the SSC and BRenBot 1.31. Pure Mode disabled.
