    September 30th is here!

    The day you have all waited for has finally arrived! After over two years of planning, building the mod, and updating our fans, the moment we've all worked so hard for is finally here. Our passion for C&C Renegade has been channeled, and manifested into this great project, Renegade X. Today is a great day for our mod and our community, as it marks a new beginning for Command & Conquer Renegade fans everywhere, a fulfillment of our promise, and the start of a new generation of C&C FPS gaming.

    Today is the day where we release the very first incarnation of Renegade X. It is our first beta, which features the basis of C&C Renegade's game mode and units. It's the very first of many public releases, given to the public to ensure a stable and exciting full release of the mod in the future. Renegade X 0.35 does not contain everything the mod will eventually offer, as it is an early beta, but it is your chance to get an early taste of Renegade X, and an opportunity for you to share your opinions, ideas, and help us in the process of fixing glitches.

    The Renegade X team plans on releasing patches after each beta release, to fix any problems we may encounter as the open beta ensues. New content is also on the way.

    Download Renegade X Beta Version 0.35 NOW!

    To anyone that has ever doubted that this day would ever come...in your face!

    Unreal Tournament 3 Patch

    Before even attempting to install Renegade X, please make sure you have the latest Unreal Tournament 3 patch. You can find that here:

    http://udn.epicgames.com/Files/UT3/UT3patch5.exe

    NOTE: If you bought the Steam Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition you do NOT need this patch.

    Minimum System Requirements

    The minimum system requirements for Renegade X are about the same as Unreal Tournament 3. You must have the necessary PC parts either as powerful or more powerful than the ones listed below.

    Minimum:
    o Supported OS: Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista
    o Processor: 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor
    o Memory: 512 MB RAM
    o Graphics: NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card
    o Sound: Windows Supported Sound Card
    o DirectX: DirectX 9.0c

    How to Install Renegade X Beta Version 0.35

    To install the mod, run the "Renegade-X 0.35 Beta.exe" file. A self extractor will ask you to where you wish to install the mod. You must install Renegade X in "Documents/My Games/Unreal Tournament 3", otherwise it will not work. Afterwords, you must manually create a ut3.exe shortcut - this can be placed anywhere on your computer. Then, right click on that new shortcut, click properties, and edit the Target: place "-mod=..\Renegade -solomod" at the end of the target, minus the quotations. Renegade X should now successfully be installed.

    Tutorial Video!

    For those of you who plan on downloading the mod, or are interested in knowing how to play, we've released the Renegade X Basic Tutorial. It briefly explains the basics of our mod's game mode "C&C mode", for those of you who either haven't played C&C Renegade online, or simply need a refresher. We highly recommend you watch it before playing our mod.

    You can check that out here: http://borgamers.com/RenX/RenX_CnCTutorial.avi

    "How to Play" Document

    If you'd like to view a more detailed text version of how to play the mod, there is a .txt file included in the download rar. You can also read that here: http://www.renegade-x.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=2909

    How to Join a server

    Renegade X Beta Version 0.35 is a multiplayer-only mod. Although you can play the mod in "Instant Action" mode offline, no AI are currently available. That feature will be released in a later beta. Therefore, you need to be connected to the internet to play with this mod with others. There are two ways to join a server:

    1) Load "Renegade-X.exe" in the Renegade folder after you install the mod. It will launch a server client program, where you will see the available servers listed. Refresh the list if necessary. Simply set up your screen name at the bottom of the client, click on the server you wish to join, and click the "Join Server" button. Make sure the file path under "UT3.exe Location" is correct before joining the server.

    *NOTE: The server client does not always show the right amount of players. This will be fixed asap.

    2) If for whatever reason you are unable to join a server with the "Renegade-X.exe" server client program, there is a secondary way to join a Renegade X server. Launch your Renegade X shortcut, login to your multiplayer account, click "Multiplayer", then click "Join Game". Once on that screen, press F10. This should launch a console. Then, simply type the word "open" in the console (no quotations), followed by a space, and the IP of the server you wish to join. Then hit enter, and it should take you straight to the server. Make sure the server IP is correct - you can find the IPs to the official servers on http://www.renegade-x.com/forums

    Please make sure the mod is fully and properly installed before attempting to join a server. If you have any questions or problems, please do not hesitate to voice your problems at our official forums. http://www.renegade-x.com/forums

    Our official server IPs are as follows:

    Renegade-X.com Official USA Server: COMING SOON, WILL BE UPDATED WITHIN 24 HOURS

    I feel quite extreme about this release:

    as well positive AND deeply negative to be more precise

    positive: this game is awesome
    negative: this game is how empires should have been by now : /

    Question:
    With empires first release in mind, is this release playable at all?

    It's very playable, granted it has several bugs and glitches, but it's really playable.

    There's only been one bug besides the whole server client that's been found that we didn't already know about. All the major ones were fixed and so allows for decent gameplay

    This mod makes me really appreciate how mod friendly Source is. Do all UT3 mods have to have their own server browser? I was unable to play multiplayer at all.

    Krenzo, that isn't UT3, that's shitty RenX devs.

    Firstly, set UT3.exe to run in compatability mode with XP SP2. Then use the crappy server browser to get to a server.
