Hi everyone, here's another small update for AR. We're still on a bit of a development hiatus at the moment, but there was a showstopping crash that was affecting some of you out there, so we've decided to push a small patch to address that and also add some quality of life improvements. Take a read below to see what's in this update! Update 0.9.0.15 The changelog for update 0.9.0.15 is below: That's all folks! Head over to the discord for all of out latest updates. Please leave your feedback on Discord as always. - @ OWA, @ moonsense715 and the AR Dev Team

Yea. TheGh0stShip/RenegadeVita: Evidence-led native ARM PlayStation Vita source port of Command & Conquer: Renegade.

That isn't how the GPL3 license works, you have to provide source code for any modifications you distribute and you are now distributing one.

Totally the plan as soon as I can push it a bit further. My dev workspace is a mess and I don't want to accidentally commit something that will haunt me like .env or something stupid. I've put up the original M00 Tutorial as a functional demo here - TheGh0stShip/Renegade-Vita-Demo: Native Renegade Vita M00 Tutorial demo: setup guide and Dev134 VPK

Oh dang, that's kinda neat! Nice share.

Git repo? I don't see your work in the fork network of the EA release and I normally keep an eye on that for any useful developments for OpenW3D.

Вот как я решил свой вопрос. Может кому то пригодится. [Guide] Launching W3D Hub Games on Steam Deck via Native Launcher + PortProton Script This guide explains how to hook the Native Linux W3D Hub Launcher directly to PortProton's Wine/Proton binary using a lightweight runner script, allowing you to launch games like Apocalypse Rising with full DXVK hardware acceleration. Prerequisites: - Steam Deck in Desktop Mode - PortProton installed on your system (specifically using the DOTNET prefix and PROTON_LG_10-28 binary runner) Step 1: Create the Runner Script (mywine.sh) 1. Open a text editor (Kate or KWrite). 2. Paste the custom launch script (configured specifically for PortProton's DOTNET prefix and PROTON_LG_10-28 build): #!/bin/bash export WINEPREFIX="/home/deck/PortProton/data/prefixes/DOTNET" # Enable DXVK (Vulkan translator from PortProton) export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi,d3d9,d3d11,d3d10core=n,b" exec /home/deck/PortProton/data/dist/PROTON_LG_10-28/bin/wine "$@" 3. Save the file as mywine.sh (e.g., /home/deck/mywine.sh). 4. Make the script executable via Konsole: chmod +x /home/deck/mywine.sh Step 2: Configure the Native W3D Hub Launcher 1. Open the Native Linux W3D Hub Launcher. 2. Go to Settings / Game Options. 3. In the engine wrapper / custom executable parameter field, set the path to your script: /home/deck/mywine.sh 4. Save settings. When launching a game or joining a multiplayer server, W3D Hub will pass all necessary arguments ("$@") directly to mywine.sh. Step 3: Add Launcher to Steam & Controller Setup 1. Open desktop Steam -> Add a Game -> Add a Non-Steam Game... and select the native W3D Hub Launcher executable. 2. Return to Gaming Mode. 3. In Controller Settings, select the Keyboard (WASD) and Mouse template. 4. Set the Right Stick/Trackpad to Joystick Mouse / Mouse, and configure Gyro as Mouse (activated on L2 hold) for precise aiming.

Not sure, 1. I would ask Dblaney1 on discord. He managed to get it (interim Apex) running on Steam Deck. If you send him a msg he could probably help out. 2. I would try asking ChatGPT. Can probably resolve it with that if you’re having trouble. sorry I couldn’t have been more help.

Hello everyone. I would like to play this game on the Steam Deck in handheld mode, but I just can't get it to install. If I try installing it through Proton, the launcher fails to start. If I install the native launcher, it works fine, downloads the game, and shows the servers, but when I try to launch single-player or join a server, nothing happens at all. Is there a guide available for running the game on the Steam Deck, or could someone please help me get it running? Thank you all for your time! (Apologies for any potential errors or awkward phrasing, as I am using a translator from Russian.)

This patch was not originally meant to focus on crime, but after watching people play, especially KTFF, I realized the crime system had become overpowered and broken. Crime-related changes are now the main focus of this update, alongside several bug fixes and smaller tweaks. New Stuff Added the Undervolted Plasma Torpedo Launcher It has vastly more ammo than the traditional Plasma Torpedo Launcher, but also does less than 1/10th the damage and explosive range. The only way to acquire this weapon is from Cops working for the SCPD. This was added to nerf the SCPD - the OG Plasma Torpedo Launcher was vastly OP, especially with infinite ammo. Added a Humvee for Area 69 Main reason for this addition is I decided it was weird to have military soldiers come out of a police Humvee, so now they get their own car. Basically an HD version of the GDI Humvee. This Humvee has the physics of the other hummers in the game. Equipped with a 25 round machine gun with incendiary rounds. Added more reader boards to SCPD - two in the desert, one at Eric’s Autos, and one at the Arctic Airstrip. This is an ongoing effort of the governor of San Casina to advertise more high scores and other info. San Casina has realized its catch-and-release program for criminals is not working, so it has partnered with Flock Cameras and become a security state instead of fixing the core issue. These cameras can easily be run over or shot down, and they can also be repaired by the street sweeper. Both destroying and repairing them count toward high scores. If a Flock camera stays destroyed for more than an hour and a half, the city will repair it with magic. More Crime Overhaul I redid the math for gaining crime bounty. If you’re in pathfind, you get 100% of the bounty; if you’re outside of pathfind, you only get 10%. That value is then multiplied by (wanted level+1)/11. The final formula is: (InPathfind ? 1.0 : 0.1)*((wantedLevel+1)/11)*CrimeValue[CrimeType]. I repurposed and reworked an old crime system. Originally, killing cops would call in other cops. The system has now been expanded so that any crime can call cops, and after committing a crime, you will remain noticeable for roughly 30 seconds. The crime point scaling system is multiplied by 16 to determine the distance that cops can be called from. The Arrested/Killable Icon for collecting bounties now displays properly (it requires you be on the pathfind grind for at least 60 seconds). The Pathfind detection system has been tweaked. There is now a 5-second cooldown before you are considered not pathfindable, which should reduce the chance of vehicles doing jumps being counted as non-pathfindable. This cooldown does not apply to the bounty system; you must still be pathfindable for that to count. Once you reach wanted level 5, cops can track your cell phone using previously existing logic. You can now drop your cell phone, and cops will treat that dropped phone as your last known location instead. Reworked how bounties are calculated. Bounties are now based on crime type instead of the old RNG-based code. Assault = $1,000 Murder = $10,000 VehicleTheft = $500 VehicleAttacked = $1,000 VehicleDestroyed = $2500 GenericTheft = $330 AssaultingOfficers = $5,000 CopCarsDestroyed = $5,000 MilitaryEquipmentDestroyed = $25,000 DrugDealer = $1,000 SecurityCamera = $100 Heinous Crime = $100,000 Added the Heinous crime, which is applied when killing shipping ships or AI passenger planes. Reworked how EXP and wanted-level progression work. The system now follows a smoother curve. Listed below is how many kills it takes to level up if you are seen by cops or cameras, with one kill counting as about 25 points: Level 1 – 2.6 Kills Level 2 – 7.1 Kills Level 3 – 14.47 Kills Level 4 – 25.88 Kills Level 5 – 43.36 Kills Level 6 – 69.84 Kills Level 7 – 109.64 Kills Level 8 – 169.15 Kills Level 9 – 257.84 Kills Level 10 – 389.72 Kills Here is the crime pointing scaling (Old system besides the heinous crime): Assault = 2.5 Murder = 25.0 Vehicle Theft = 7.5 Attacking Vehicles = 2.0 Vehicle Destruction = 15.0 Theft = 1.0 Assaulting Officers = 5.0 Destroying Cop Cars = 10.0 Destroying Military Equipment = 75.0 Drug Offenses = 3.0 Destroying Security/Flock Cameras = 1.0 Henious Crimes = 625.0 Two more high scores have been added: one for reaching 5 PLECOSTOMUS and another for reaching 10 PLECOSTOMUS. Remade how police vehicles spawn: Delorean, Crown Vic, Charger, and Bugatti spawn at the base wanted level. Wanted level 3+ police hummers will start to show up. Wanted level 4+ Area 69 hummers start to replace the other cop vehicles. Wanted level 5+ the Police Destroyer starts to stalk the ocean. Wanted level 6+ SWAT hummers (which have future soldiers) join the mix). Wanted level 9+ enforcers appear and replace all the previous. Wanted level 10 the police heavy APC joins the fight. Also rebalanced how weapons are spawned on passengers of vehicles via wanted levels: Civilians: 0 – food, knives and swords, pistols, 2 – shotguns and submachine guns, 3 - rifles. Police: 0 – tasers and pistols, 1 – shotguns, 2 – rifles, 3 - sniper rifles, flack cannons, 4 – gatling guns, rocket launchers. Military: 0 – shotguns, 1 – submachine guns, 4 – rifles, 5 - machine guns, gatling guns, 6 – sniper rifles, flack cannons, 7 – rocket launchers. Future Soldiers: 0 – energy pistols, 5 – energy shotguns, 6 – volt submachine guns, 7 – volt rifles, 8 – volt sniper rifles, 9 – undervolted plasma torpedo launchers. The SCPD has improved officer training. If a cop gets close enough to a target vehicle, they will attempt to extract the occupants. Occasionally, an officer may be bold enough to rush in from farther away to do the same - so stay alert. Tweaks Gatling tank is now spelled correctly, I totally didn’t learn how to spell it form C&C Generals. The Police Enforcer with the Plasma Torpedo Launcher now has a custom mounted version of the weapon that does less than 1/3rd the firepower and 30% the explosive range. Police and SWAT hummers now have more torque than their civilian counterparts (they used to be worse than the civilian variant). Hamina-class Missile Boat, Komar-class Missile Boat, Mark V Special Operations Craft, Pirate Ship, and the Gunboat now all use a much stronger armor and health type. Police Charger now has more armor - I’m not sure if it was a typo on my part but the previous instance had no armor at all. The Sea Monster is now named the Buck Ness Monster due to multiple rename requests. The Plasma Torpedo Launcher used by SCPD is now a fake version, which allows me to use LOD on it. After a lot of testing, I pinned this weapon down as a major source of client-side lag. Fixed a bug with the arrest messaging system not displaying when a player was killed/arrested and thus lost their bounty. Scrolling Marquees now show all disaster events. I’ve been forgetting to update that code for a while. Made a centralized function for detecting if AI can target an object - previously there was a ton of AI code that had different condition checks to see if they could attack a target. This slowly got out of sync over time and has lead to issues like some AI attacking players that were targeting Scuds as well as some other odd edge cases. In addition to the change above, Cop AI has been improved so it moves toward the player’s controlled vehicle or object. For example, cops will go to the Scud Launcher instead of the targeting object, or to the object holding the RC remote for a remote-controlled car. Driving police job vehicles now vastly increases the detection range of the bounty hunter job (General Camo suggestion). Cleaned up a ton of police code and simplified it for my own sanity. Bug Fixes Some ant spawners that were outside of pathfind. Red doors were updated in Renhalo incorrectly, which allowed players to fall into the void. Made some zones in the race track higher into the air, I had reports that players could jump some of them. All Police Enforcers now have proper weapon names. SCPD now properly blocks Ion Cannon Uplinks and Scud Launcher uplinks (not sure how long this has been broken for). Police Hotline now shows player bounties and wanted levels. It was still using the old bounty system, so it was never listing anyone. Calling the police hotline when you have a wanted level of 3 or higher now makes them properly triangulate you. Cops now properly arrest players instead of just standing there all brain dead. A69’s nuke will no longer chase the player into their next life, previously if you died the nuke would still show up and blast the hell out of you when you had no bounty. Destroying/Killing things with the scud launcher/ion cannon now says “X killed Y while targeting VEHICLE” instead of piloting. If an AI vehicle is destroyed by something the occupants can’t attack the occupants will no longer charge out and attempt to attack said object. Some more possible BlueHell fixes. Fixed some building specific announcements not showing up on the reader boards. Police Destroyer now marks criminals as seen if it sees them. Added a new flag and fixed two existing flags that were turning solid black due to light gen. Hovercraft should now make water sounds when hovering over the water. Cops should no longer turn on their own if they're shot by another police unit. Bomb dogs don't hesitate anymore and correctly blow themselves up on vehicles. Police vehicles with guns should no longer shoot into space/the ground, this was a bug caused by the horn logic. Crash Fixes Fixed an end game crash related to the Ogel system. Fixed a crash related to ambulances. Crash Dumps are now logging all vehicle and infantry posiiton data, I'll either make a program of feed this into an ai in order to hopefully pin down bad pathfind spots.

APB 3.8.1.0 Release General Reduced explosive barrel HP from 60 to 30. Reduced AT mine layer count to 6 (was 8). Removed Spy’s ability to steal vehicles. Fixed stealth info box exploit. Made a change that reduces stuttering. Disabled leg twist. Added normal maps for several defenses, vehicles, and weapon projectiles. Bots Now engine-based, rather than scripts based. Bot count can be chosen from the game host menu. They can now appear on the tab player list and score screen. Added some expanded and refined behavior, such as sprinting, dodging fire, returning to base to refill after taking damage, and more. Pathfinding Update Updated pathfinding logic. Support added for Recast Navigation "https://github.com/recastnavigation/recastnavigation" Added navigation meshes per map for Recast Navigation integration. This new system allows for dynamic pathfind changes on maps. Hedgehogs, Walls, and Wall Hubs now open up to pathfinding once they are destroyed. Navy Reduced gravity on Helicarrier rockets to 0.1 (was 0.5). Reduced RepairVehicles warhead effectiveness against VehicleBote, VehicleCruiser, and VehicleHelicarrier to 0.4 (was 1). Tracking Overhauled tracking to have the option to utilize a cone instead of a raytrace. This should reduce the requirement to pixel hunt your way to being locked onto a target. MANPADS have a lock-on cone of 7.5 degrees. The MiG has a generous lock-on cone of 10 degrees. Most other weapons have a lock-on cone of 5 degrees. MANPADS (Redeye, Strela) have a lock-on timer of 1 second, but a much faster velocity. Lock-on weapons now have sound tones for tracking and being locked on. Overhauled SAM Site to behave closer to the original game cutscenes, with a lock-on timer of 5 seconds and significantly faster velocity. Longbow, Hind, Yak, and MiG now have warnings when being tracked, locked onto, and having homing missiles fired at them. Strela and Redeye tracking time reduced from 2 seconds to 1 second Strela and Redeye range increased from 170 to 200 to account for firing delay Strela damage increased from 70 to 85 Redeye damage increased from 90 to 110 Phase tank and chrono tank missiles now have a tracking time of 0.25 seconds. Most missiles not otherwise mentioned now have a tracking time of 0.5 seconds. Reworked the Stinger "AT Launcher" into the M47 Dragon, an advanced anti-tank missile with reticle-tracking missiles. MiG Grom Increased targeting range from 150 to 175. Increased tracking time from 0.01 to 0.75 seconds. Increased velocity from 175 to 250. Sounds Drastically increased weapon sound ranges to allow the distance filter to work better. Added damage alarm sound to more vehicles. Added turret traverse sounds to some of the tanks. Added original German (censored) death sounds to Volkov's death sound twiddler as rare easter eggs. Added new fire sound to the Dragon (this is the AT Stinger weapon). AA Gun Increased rate of fire from 8 to 10. Increased burst count from 2 to 4. Decreased burst delay time from 1.0 to 0.25. Decreased damage from 50 to 20. Increased truck spray from from 2.0 to 2.5. Added proximity extent of 2.5m (0.15 second fuse). Decreased camera shake intensity from 2.0 to 1.0. Increased clip size from 20 to 40 (truck from 10 to 20). Decreased camera shake duration from 0.25 to 0.1. Truck explosion damage decreased from 22.5 to 10.5. Truck explosion inner radius increased from 0m to 10m. Has a new reload sound. Updated firing sound to use the new weapon tail sound mechanic, to reduce muddiness. Tanya Added dual-wielded pistols. Added an alternate fire for the Colt 45, which fires both guns at once (at the cost of ROF). New reloading sound. Maps Brightened Antlion slightly. Removed Siege. Removed visible boundary stripes on remaining maps. Bonsai Fixed floating tree. Canyon River New ambient sounds and updated reverb areas. Hostile Waters Paradox Replaced legacy Gem Silos with the terrain versions (proxied ladders, etc). Added the Soviet Helipad and Soviet barrack that are on Hostile Waters. Lunar Paradox Added script that teleports players into their purchased vehicles. Assigned radar blips to the vehicles. The Woods Today Added lower LOD stages to a couple of the houses features on TheWoodsToday, which may improve performance. Jukebox edited. Switched out "Shut It" for "Traction". Adjusted Oak Tree leaves to improve performance.

Every day I am closer to a complete Renegade port on PS Vita. This will supersede any PSP development since the PSP is not a good candidate for any further work. So far we almost have a complete M00 Tutorial running flawlessly, including audio. More polish required, but its a valid WIP.

Nice update man! I love this addition: Quality Learing Center

Hi there. Done!

Hi there! Have you tried deleting the package-cache folder for that particular game? Sometimes a particular zip file gets stuck.

Hello, gentlemen! I am willing to change my W3D account's Display name from Igor The Bylarge to Igor_The_Bylarge since new launcher I am trying to switch to due to downloading issues of the old one (I am tired of restarting the download 5000 times), yet the new launcher appear to dislike spaces in my nick when I try to authorise. And authorisation is mandatory for me for perfoming my duties as a Tester. I can't change it myself - turns out I need to ask one of forum's moderator\admins to do that for me. So here I am. Thanks in advance to whoever will be first to see and respond to this request.

Hello everyone. I tried to refrain from asking but I am stumped. I'm tryin to install TSR while running W3D as admin. It has failed to download at least 10 times and I'm clearing my directory and restarting the launcher after each try. Thanks for reading.
