I have seen similar ideas in a number of forums. On the one hand, obviously a server not protected by RenGuard is more likely to attract a larger number of players that might not have installed RenGuard yet. I am not going to discuss whether these players are more prone to cheat or not, because I think this would be an unwarranted generalization. I think the problem with removing RenGuard protection from a server is that it reduces the incentive for players to finally install RenGuard on their systems. Obviously it motivates a lot more if you cannot play without RenGuard in any of your favorite servers.

In that context, I am wondering if it is feasible to automate the RenGuard installation. I am thinking along the lines

- player joins RenGuard-protected server
- player gets popup-message Yes/No
- Yes shuts down Renegade and opens RenGuard download website, No returns to Advanced Game Selection Menu.

Alternatively, as the warning message "You need RenGuard" is rather quick, how about a popup message upon leaving the server "go to http://www.renguard... and download ..."

Just a thought Smile
