Unstoppable

Scripts 4.8 Update 3 is now available. I would like to thank Unstoppable, Jerad2142, dblaney1 and cyberarm for their contributions to 4.8 Update 3 (If I missed anyone else who contributed to 4.8 Update 3, sorry). Changes made since 4.8 Update 2: New scripts and changes to existing scripts by Jerad2142. New scripts by Unstoppable. Added server.ini keyword DisplayUnteamedPlayersAsGDIPlayerCount that displays unteamed players as GDI in player counts and GameSpy listing (if enabled). Added new engine call Forward_Server and FORWARD_SERVER console command to disconnect a given client and forward them to connect to another one. Added new engine call Add_Shadow_Message that adds a message into chat history without displaying the message in the chat. Added tt.ini keyword SkipWOL that skips Multiplay Internet dialog and shows GameSpy listing directly. GameSpy listing now resolves all master servers instead of trying one by one, collects the reported game server addresses from all master servers and merges them to build the final server list. Added favorite servers support in GameSpy listing. GameSpy listing now sorts the servers by favorite, then by player count in descending order, then by ping in ascending order and then by server title in ascending order after every refresh. Selecting a message in chat history (Default: U key) and hitting Ctrl+C will now copy that message into clipboard. Use a different method to smoothen the fonts when the Render Scale option is set to a value other than 100%. Added an alternative rendering method for weapon charts if the aspect ratio of the render resolution is greater than 2.5. Fix an FPS counter/team header overlapping issue when a custom font file is in use. Fix Minimize On Lost Focus remaining enabled (visually) when Render When Unfocused is checked and Window Mode is Fullscreen in wwconfig. Introduced an enum type for purchase responses. (For scripts developers) If you are running 4.8 Update 2 (or any earlier version) you will be automatically updated to 4.8 Update 3. People wanting a full installer (to install from scratch or to do a full reinstall), a server download or a tools download can find them on the Tiberian Technologies website (www.tiberiantechnologies.org) in the downloads section. Appropriate source code for 4.8 Update 3 as well as the source files for the map fixes in 4.7 (which are the latest fixes we have) can also be found on the site.

Use the in-game listing.

The installer executable has been updated to solve some compatibility issues with Steam version of the game. Those who have the game in Steam has to install the TT patch again using the new installer available in the web site www.tiberiantechnologies.org. Specifically, the installer removes the compatibility settings in the registry that Steam version adds and removes the installScript.vdf file that helps Steam restore those registry values back, to fix the launcher and Windowed mode.

(You may need to run WWConfig for this change to take effect) Resolution bar in WWConfig now displays the aspect ratio and the frame rate alongside the resolution text. The launcher will now wait for the game to exit for Steam to count the play time properly. Fixed an issue where players would not be able to move or interact with the game using the Steam version of Renegade. Fixed a bug that was causing a crash while entering Communications Center on second mission. (This may fix more crashes throughout the Campaign.) Text Clipping option from Text elements of HUD surfaces are removed. HUD surfaces will now bind to the render area that is scaled to Render Scale, instead of the raw screen resolution.

Changed Status to Closed (Other)

Alt-tab freezes are common among other DX9 games, including Renegade, on devices with NVIDIA GPU. It's an NVIDIA driver issue when there are no other graphics drivers present that an internal operation randomly takes a long time to complete. Waiting about a minute restores the game back, and there is nothing we can do for that.

This is not something we can fix.

It looks like you may have Discord or Steam overlays trying to hook into the game. Please disable those to fix these crashes.

All crashes that happen on the latest release are relevant.

Hello, Can you attach your crash dump to this report? Here's how you can find them: Document: Frequently Asked Questions - Tiberian Technologies

You should discuss that with the administrator(s) of the server you are joining to.

A crashdump on latest scripts would help better.

Click on the big green "Client Installer" button under Latest Release section in https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/Downloads. When download is complete, open the downloaded file. Installer should automatically detect the location of the game. If not, click "Browse..." and select the folder where your game is installed. Click "Next >" and it will install the patch.

There is a configuration utility named "WWConfig.exe" in the game folder. Please find and open it to configure such settings.

As a RenHD administrator, you may want to ask @ AprilWar (in RenHD Discord) if you want to get involved in the development of RenHD.

That message indicates that the game has crashed. Could you please send the latest crash dump file ending in -n1 from your debug folder at %UserProfile%\Documents\Renegade\Client\debug (hit Win+R and paste it in there) so that we can have a look at it? (You may need to zip the file first if it's too large) In addition, when exactly are you getting this message and are there any exact steps to reproduce?

You can simply run mixcheck.exe in your game folder to verify the integrity of the data files.

Installing the update with the installer will register the renegade:// URL protocol which can be used to join game and display GameSpy query of a given server.

Pinging @ moonsense715 . EDIT: Nevermind, that sounds like a server issue than a script/map issue.

Hello, could you send me the crash dump (the latest file with .dmp extension) from the following directory "%UserProfile%\Documents\Renegade\Client\debug" via PM so I can investigate what's wrong?

Made a small tutorial-ish demonstration video about scriptable dialogs. Plugin used in this video can be found at https://github.com/TheUnstoppable/SSGMDialogExample.

PM'd him details, but anyone else wondering can find it at https://github.com/TheUnstoppable/Dragonade/releases.

I saw a server named "JuJU+FJServer". If that's yours, congratz!

If the "Firewall" you meant is not the firewall at "W F.msc" (without space and quote), so open it and try turning all profiles off temporarily. If that fixes, you can add rules to allow Renegade ports.
