Just a reminder that there is a stats website for ECW as well as several of my other coop games at [blurb]Stats Website Reminder http://jeradsnetwork.midcoip.net:10025/StatsWebsite/EcwSanCasina[/blurb]http://jeradsnetwork.midcoip.net:10025/StatsWebsite/.

In stock renegade the objects file hides in always.dbs, I don't think leveledit is smart enough to find files outside its specified scope (in stock I believe its only always.dat, always2.dat, and always.dbs (although, we might have modified it to read always3.dat at some point as well... you are using the newest ttscripts stuff right?)).

I run this pile for my LE every time I put it on a new computer, note it assumes renegade is installed to the origin folder Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Westwood Studios\LevelEdit] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Westwood Studios\LevelEdit\Config] "DeviceName"="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080" "DeviceBitsPerPix"=dword:00000018 "Windowed"="1" "Immed Preset Checkin"=dword:00000001 "Last save dir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels" "Last export dir"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Origin Games\\Renegade\\Data" "TempID"=dword:3b9aca17 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Westwood Studios\LevelEdit\Install] "Exe"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\LevelEdit.exe" "InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Origin Games\\Renegade\\Renegade.exe" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Westwood Studios\LevelEdit\Recent File List] "File1"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels\\CpTest.lvl" "File2"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels\\test.lvl" "File3"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels\\Level5.5_SlvrSo.lvl" "File4"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels\\Level5.5.lvl" "File5"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels\\Level5b_SlvrSo.lvl" "File6"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels\\Level5a_SlvrSo.lvl" "File7"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels\\level1_SlvrSo.lvl" "File8"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\RenegadePublicTools\\RenLevelEdit\\Renhalo\\Levels\\Level3a_SlvrSo.lvl" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Westwood Studios\LevelEdit\Settings] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Westwood Studios\LevelEdit\Window] "Left"=dword:fffffff8 "Right"=dword:00000788 "Top"=dword:fffffff8 "Bottom"=dword:00000418 "Maximized"=dword:00000001 Sorry for the delay I get sloppy and forget to check the forums.

[blurb]Sabertruck, new Deathmatch Map, and more![/blurb]In this release I’ve added an electric car and a new Death Match Map. New Stuff: • The Sabertruck has drove into San Casina, a fully electric all wheel drive car with very fast acceleration; however, it tops out at about 155-160 MPH. • The Mysterious Forest death match map has made it into San Casina, this terrain was originally made for my Slenderkane map, but I figured it would make a good addition for ECW. Worry not, this terrain DOES NOT make it to San Casina and there TOTALLY ISN’T a secret object on it with unlockable perks. • A new house has been added somewhere in ECW, it features 3 weapons cupboards, a fridge, and an item safe. However, it has no garage or security system. • Added 8 more high scores to the game (yay for more chance to gain inventory!). • Added another disaster event to San Casina! Thank the APB Team for the asset needed for this! Fixes/Improvements: • Updated the config file to version 20 this adds several config parameters that were only on the server until recently. Make sure to make a copy of your config file if you’ve made a lot of changes to it as it’ll be overridden! • Repositioned Santa’s Workshop to fix graphical issues. • Fixed several missing names from the credits as well as added some new ones. • Refactored a chunk of the code for my own sanity. • Also fixed several chunks of code that could potentially cause a crash (although I doubt any of them where the reason the server crashes during crime… never know though). • Fixed an exploit with the tutorial that would allow players to play as the invincible tutorial character outside the tutorial. • Made some code handle character swaps or script removes that could have caused code not to be cleaning up properly. • Added an error message to the code just so I’d know if an error happened (kind of hoping it was causing a crash but I doubt it at this point). • Fixed a possible crash caused by the random number generator trying to be called for ranges that matched (IE: 0-0 or 43-43). If this crash was an issue it was caused by dynamic numbers and not hard coded. • Fixed the missing synchronization of weapons cupboards/fridges/safes. • Fixed the formatting of 7 high scores.

Wob

Should I name it Rob?

Ewwww, now I have to throw the unit out.

Additions: • An electric vehicle with a laser drill has landed in San Casina - The Mars Rover! Able to climb extremely steep terrain and accelerate quickly, the rover will make yet another unique unit to the city’s landscape! • Two new high scores have been added for the radio, these allow the game to track how long the player has listened to the radio and how (in inventory or out). Bug Fixes and Improvements: • Cat no longer makes bone breaking noises when moving around the spawn room. • Did an optimization pass on the broken vis system on the main map, hopefully this will clean up some performance loss that has been accumulating overtime. [blurb]Mars Rover, new Radio High Scores, and bug fixes![/blurb]

The crash that happens comes from NT.dll, I've seen it show up in 4.x so porting it ot a newer version won't fix it and it doesn't give me any actual debugging info so its very difficult to pin down. Also thanks!

[blurb]Made the AC130 bomb better and a couple bug fixes.[/blurb]So I was in game the other day and noticed a few things, this addresses those. Fixes/Improvements • AC130 bomb now falls 2x as fast as c130 vehicle drops • Pumpjacks will now play the full health animation after being stolen/repaired • Increased the verbosity of some error logs • Fixed a bug that caused the special purchase terminals to report a missing script zone error (change was originally made to reduce script zones for the server).

I'd have to come up with a creative way to do it, maybe I can make it show the best score for each one with the player name when looking at a player's.

In the past I used to use a custom font to get rid of that , 3.4.4 doesn't support hiding the credits text for some reason. Normally nowadays I just photoshop the text out.

So its been quite a while and I figured I might as well push out a few quality life improvements as well as some bug fixes that have been live on the server for a while to the public. “New” Features · The Status Website for ECW and several of my other Renegade based games is live at http://jeradsnetwork.midcoip.net:10025/StatsWebsite/ (It has been for a while but I’m just now announcing it to the public. · Due to fixes in how the saving code works, stats for the ECW scores are now updated every ~5 minutes to the website. [blurb]Quality of life improvements as well as stats website announcement![/blurb]Improvements/Tweaks · House Auto-Renewal system now keeps renewing your home up to 30 days of inactivity instead of 14. · Save data only saves when someone has been in game or a round ends, this will reduce file writes for the server. · Updated the copyright date because I figured I might as well. Bug Fixes · “Fixed” a bug that allowed players to get 2billion+ when purchasing items, this has been live on the server for a while but I’m just pushing it to the public now. (I fixed it in a super hacky way, it just resets your money if you exceed a certain amount of money on hand). · Fixed a bug that caused phone numbers/player pin to display gibberish when backspacing (I actually fixed this long before the 2019 patch but I guess I failed to push it). As a side note this is my first update from my new laptop, so everyone can rest assured that LevelEdit and everything still works!

He flew through Ogel Cat's rainbow trail.

Santa is too busy making sure Nod can't deliver presents to the undeserving 3rd world countries to comment on this thread right now.

As a note you might have to manually define the installPath for LE depending on what version of Renegade you have.

This is going to be a nice short tutorial on how to add more bones onto an existing skeleton in a way that preserves the animation (useful if you want to add additional bones to the stock male or female human skeleton and don’t want to reexport all its corresponding animations). First things first, take the existing skeleton (either import it or open it from a save) and add your new bones). As you can see here, I’ve added 7 bones to the stock male skeleton (breast bone, c L UpperStab, c L ForeStab, c L Stab, c R UpperStab, c R ForeStab, and c R Stab. Next let’s export it to its new skeleton name, in this case I did s_3_human, select the skeleton option and hit okay. Now download chunky and use it to open your file, switch to the pivots tab and lets look what’s there. As you can see, c r UpperStab, c l stab, breastbone, etc. are mixed in with the rest of the bones, unfortunately, we want them at the end of the list. Notice the last bone in the list is “BONE FOR BAG” this one is the key to how we will fix this mess. So back to the editor. So, what we need to do now is export our skeleton again, this time I’m naming it “original.” Now that that’s done select breast bone, c l UpperStab, c r UpperStab (the base of each of our new bone hierarchies). Now attach them to “BONE FOR BAG” Now once again let’s export this to our new skeleton (s_3_human) for me. Don’t save this, you might have to reopen the original depending on how complex the bones you're adding are. Now open both files, original and s_3_human in chunky (you’ll need to open two copies of chunky). As you can see now, our 7 bones are now at the end of the file, which means they won’t mess with our existing animations; however, now we need to fix their attachments because right now they're hooked to "Bone For Bag" instead of their proper pivots. This is easier to do than one might think, simply copy the BASE HIREACHY bones in original (not all of them just the bases) from original and paste them over the bones in s_3_human (in this case just beast bone, c l UpperStab, c r UpperStab). Now that that’s done, save it and let’s reimport it into our 3d editor and make sure the bones attached correctly. As you can see, something isn’t quite right, breast bone and the hierarchy for c l UpperStab are fine, but for some reason c r UpperStab’s hierarchy has ended up hooked to c r hand. My assumption is this is caused by the repositioning of so many pivots it wasn’t originally accounting for. Reopen you’re original file for the 3d model and lets play with what the bones are attached to, in this case we need to move the bone back 3 positions to get it attached to c r clavicle, this took me some guessing but in the end I figured out attaching it to c l UpperStab does the trick. Now export it over original and reopen it in chunky then copy C R UpperStab from original into your already modified s_3_human, save and reimport. And ta da, you’ve successfully merged new bones into an existing skeleton in a way that won’t affect the already existing animations!

Added a note about the max distance light objects will be updated from the building controller which I noticed when working on my new map.

Ah so skill less players :P Gotcha.

They should really play it on my server to get the status updates.

Maybe someday after I finish porting Renhalo to 4.x, although by then it might be time to move to a whole new engine, hard to say how many players would be left lol.

It's still a Renegade Mod as a heads up.

Roughly 5 years ago Bear Island was first released (roughly because I didn’t use an SVN back then so all I have to go on is the first commit to the scripts .git), since then many have claimed it was their favorite map; so, for its 5-year anniversary I’ve decided to do a massive number of bug fixes and major improvements! New/Improved Features: • The Armored car has been reworked into a supply vehicle (more details below). • Major improvements to the boss fight system (more details below). • Added a new objective, this is available before the midpoint of the game. • Added 96 voice files to the game! • Cougars now make an appearance in the fight! • Purchasing vehicles now marks their drop location with a signal flare. • Score system now tracks the last played time of players, this is used on the Stats Website (http://jeradsnetwork.midcoip.net:10025/StatsWebsite/BearHunter) for Bear Island. • AI Engineers will no longer repair vehicles that are empty, this will keep them from wasting time with vehicles that have been forgotten when turrets and occupied player vehicles are taking heavy damage. • The bonus objectives have been reordered to go closest to the base to furthest, in addition objectives that are hidden are now numbered as they’re discovered instead of being hard coded. • Wild deer now travel in herds and flee in herds to more accurately reflect reality. • Wild deer now have two 3d models, bucks and does. • Tiny Deer now have two death animations, so they don’t always fall over the same way. • Water now fades to black to more accurately follow the shoreline so players can easier tell where not to walk. • Made some major improvements to the vis system especially when inside the main base. Bug Fixes: • Fixed a single clump of grass near the main North East gate that had projectile collisions. • Fixed several objectives that were named wrong or referenced beta concepts. • Entering the water now correctly kills the player, not sure when this broke but its been broken a while, the score system also now correctly records water deaths. • Fixed a bug with the objectives system that caused players to be unable to see objective updates once they are out of lives. • Fixed two high scores that were updating for all players even if they didn’t play in a round of Bear Hunter. • Revised how the game determines of all players are dead during the final boss, this change was made because if the last player suicided while all the other players were dead the boss would derp and just sit there, making the game take forever to end. • Player now faces the direction the spawn points on the map were placed, don’t know how I missed that issue all these years. • One of the objectives had an “…” (Thanks MS Word) instead of “...” which caused it not to display. • Renamed a high score that was calling AI “ai” instead of “AI” • Fixed a bug that allowed players to leave the base and not die during the final boss fight. • Mutant aiming now ignores damage animations. • Reduced payout of the painkillers objective to 100 per player. • AI now properly targets black bears instead of aiming at the feet. Armored Supply Truck Rework: • What was once a boring armored vehicle now takes the role of a resupply truck for infantry and vehicles. • The vehicle now supports vehicles and infantry within 75 meters of it while its lights are on, the driver can see the range of this effect. • Having the lights on does attract attention of the mutants (this is old functionality, but it now serves a point to have the lights on). • Units must wait 15 seconds after taking damage to receive HP, it takes 1 minute to refill the health and armor bar with one truck. • Infantry must wait 7.5 seconds to regen ammo, it takes 15 seconds to refill the gun the infantry is holding if it has 0 ammo. This effect also refills the weapon crate weapons. Boss Fight Improvements: • Improved the AI of the final boss, it will now remove C4 if it sees it as a bigger threat than its currently target, so players, make sure to hide the C4 now. • Boss AI now thinks 10 times a second instead of just 4 to better improve its target selection. • Fixed a bug in the boss AI that allowed it to attack the President of Corporate America before all players were dead. • Boss no longer plays damage animations; this reduces the chances of its shots going wild. • Spawn system now only spawns players near PTs during the boss fight. • Spawn points are only used if no enemies can see the point (although if it plays out that enemies can see all the spawn points it will choose the one furthest from all enemies, boss takes priority in weighting here). 2.0.0 is now live on the Crazy Coop Server. Note: This requires Scripts 4.6 Update 9 (released today) http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=41266&start=0&. MA_Bear_Island.zip [blurb]Check out the latest update to Bear Island!
