Chris Cornell was an absolute legend. I'm glad that we'll always have the music he created, as that will never die.

It was pretty horrible hearing about this today. It always stings a little when something like this happens in your own country.

This would definitely be an improvement to the omgblue we have at the moment.

I think that marketing our projects as independent games, (whilst EA said we could release them as standalones) is a risky move due to the legal implications. By saying that our projects are Renegade mods, it instantly sets it apart from your average free-to-play games that may or may not have monetisation. With a mod you always know it's going to be free, which at first glance is good at getting our message across that we are free forever. I think that the best way to describe the projects would be standalone total-conversion mods. We started with a game, Renegade, and built off of that; so I think that classification fits us well without stepping into the murky waters of indie, free-to-play and freemium games.

I'd love to see these come back!

Kotaku UK have featured W3D Hub in a fairly lengthy article that sheds a nice light on what Command & Conquer-related projects we are working on. A while back I met a freelance journalist who was really interested in covering the work that we do here. Over the course of a few months, I gave them some info about the community and the result was this article! A link to the article can be found right here: http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2017/05/02/the-renegades-remaking-command-conquer-as-firstperson-shooters Although it's great to get acknowledged by a major gaming publication, there are unfortunately a few inaccuracies that are mentioned in the article. I've listed the facts below to set the record straight: Renegade was a 2002 game, not a 2005 game @OWA is currently moonlighting as a Seconded Game Designer at creative Assembly, so no longer a Tester (for now) Renegade X was in development as far back as 2007, so the devs didn't all leave to make Reborn in 2011 as the article suggests @OWA didn't have much of a hand in the handing over of Reborn at all. That task was masterminded by @Wallywood, who made sure that the game was in good hands before moving it back over to what was then Bluehell Productions It's Nod, not NOD (old joke is old) MCT terminals, i.e. Master Control Terminal Terminals Reborn doesn't feature Thieves The section about 2009 graphics upgrades is uninformed. Here's the scoop straight from @saberhawk: "We slowly took over the rendering engine and rebuilt most of it a few times; the original game was D3D8 (DirectX 8), all the latest things are D3D11 (DirectX 11)" Even with these inacurracies, it's really great to see this level of attention from a major game news site (even if it's only from the UK branch of Kotaku) and get our message out there that C&C isn't quite dead yet. This shows that even though we're creating games on an older engine, it still continues to spark interest, which I think is amazing. I'm really proud of what we achieve every day here and I think we should all enjoy being in the limelight as one of the few teams still standing that is continuing to carry the banner for the Command & Conquer franchise and fans everywhere! With improvements and new site features on the way, W3D Hub is going to be a community that will be around for years to come! Stay tuned for more good stuff right here!

View File Classic Renegade Boink for APB Exactly what the title says it is; the classic Renegade Boink sound for use in APB (and TSR... or any Renegade mod for that matter! The sound name is hard coded! ) Read the included readme for install instructions (also pasted below!) Installation Instructions: 1. Extract the archive into your Game\Data folder (So the sound file should be in "..\W3D Hub\games\apb-release\data" or similar) 2. Boot the game and kill someone! 3. ??? 4. Boink! Hope you enjoy this! - OWA Submitter OWA Submitted 05/09/2017 Category Custom Audio

Pinning 'dis.

To be honest, our problem lies with the fact that we haven't actually made a map for AR in many years. We've been focusing on the big gameplay features currently, so once those are in, we can turn our attention back to making maps once again. APB doesn't need a character artist, all the characters are done.

According to google, GMT is currently 5 hours ahead of CST, so 3 "should" be right.

Sign me up. I want to relive 2008 all over again. Also guys, if you want to have some of the best games of APB possible; sign up for this. It's gonna be special.

TWT, NBNW, Volcano, Metro, Glacier, Fjords, Bunkers. Probably in that order.

I have a few horns kicking around. I'll send them to you sometime.

I KNEW you were going to include that clip of you sniping me down the ramp on Complex. Well played!

You guys need reinforcement bays. But in all seriousness it's good to see that this is being taken into consideration, as it's one of the fundamental flaws with this game currently. There potentially a number of solutions to this problem and I would agree with Raap surrounding the whole "requires chat" solution. You could drop in vehicles for the losing team periodically (if they've lost their WF) via Chinook; that would stop the game from being as stalematey, but maybe the solution isn't to give the losing team things, but to debuff them so it's harder for them to defend a single building in the end. We already know that we can make buildings take more damage when others have been put offline, so an alternative solution might be to make buildings take more damage when there are less of them left. So, for example, if a team has just a Barracks left, that Barracks will take twice the damage so that the game can end quicker. It's food for thought at least.

There's definitely been progress. Keep posted and we'll try and reveal something cool on a regular basis.

A better solution to this problem would be to disable purchasing until X seconds after combat, the same way that the health regen system works. Then there's no need for a hacky, heavy handed "freeze this guy in place" mechanic.

This is pretty good for a browser game, but the controls could be way better. My hand starts contorting when trying to do wasdzx. I guess you have to play it with two hands.

I've been having a ton of fun with this game. The difficulty spikes pretty hard, but I really enjoy that it's challenging me. The checkpoint system isn't really that punishing either, so if you attack a camp of Bokoblins and get rekt, then it will load you up to pretty much try again. I love this new direction that they've taken the game.

I think it might be a case of "you don't ask you don't get". Perhaps we should send them a nice email just before Renegade turns 20.

[blurb]C&C Renegade turns 15 today! Come join us by celebrating the game that started it all, as we recall past battles and look back at the game's history.[/blurb] [thumb]custom_thumb_ren.png[/thumb] It's been 15 years since C&C Renegade was first released to the public! No matter what the critics say, this game is an incredible and unique experience that has only been matched by the mods that it has spawned. Without Renegade, this community wouldn't be where it stands today because the hours spent tinkering with modding projects has shaped the way that this community has grown over the years and brought us all together to make awesome things! Renegade is a game with an engine that still manages to keep surprising us and it's truly a fun engine to mod for. Hopefully we'll still be here in another 15 years time at W3D Hub to celebrate Renegade's 30th birthday. Every day the community for the original game gets smaller, but we hope to keep it's spirit alive for as long as we can. Here's to you old friend.
