Just had this idea now, what about including a new community menu that would include information from the community as well as some other cool stuff.

Web Links:
A list of communitys for Renegade and it's mods, make it so that is shows the list in ramdon order, so no one site is always at the top, also include the wiki links

Clan Links:
A list of clans:

Ladder:
Ladder for the game?

Community TC games:

A option to allow you to launch a TC game like Reborn/APB that would close down Renegade and start that game up instead.

If you don't have this game installed, it would open a webpage to these sites instead.

Information:

Just general game information, how to register names, login, game play tactics, whatever.

Shouldn't take long to do really, a web page really, but I can't stress it enough that any links that are shown should be made to display ramdon and not in any order or you get all the new players always going to the top sites like you do with the a00 servers.

Adding menu's and stuff is really really hard.

That is reasonably easy, but adding real new menu's is not.

There's just too much info IMO. At biggest, you could add a link to the renegadewiki and/or renegadecommunity.com.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

How can the bhs options menu be easy and a menu just displaying text be not? Sarcasm

Forgive my ignorance but it seems pretty simple, do what you did for bhs options but replace what you did with text.

An options dialog is totally different from what you are suggesting...

I really are dumb founded by how it is any different, lol

How can it be so different? I would think all the code it took to make bhs options work was alot harder then placing text on a menu.

It should be doable, but tbh it is probably more time consuming than it is worth. I say there are more important things to work on. Smile

Perhaps one of the redirected links can be (ab)used to display information like this.

Well, there's a "news" link already, so you can just use that one.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord
