Hey stop being a stranger!!!11!1!

Hello @ DarkScion808 and welcome to W3D-Hub! Would you mind listing the make/model, Windows version, CPU model, GPU model, and any other specs you can find for your machine? 640x480 mode is probably not supported at this point, I actually did not realize it could still be selected. Windows itself does not like to operate at less than 1024x768 these days, but it does kinda still support 800x600. If your computer is struggling at that resolution, lowering it likely will not help anyway. Based on the amount of memory you mentioned, and that resolution, I would recommend using the highest available resolution, but lowering all other graphics settings. Please be sure to post the specs I requested above though, as that will give me some more insight on this.

Would you mind providing any shred of detail as to what you are talking about? We dont have keys here, unless you are referring to Renegade, in which case you need to buy one from an authorized vendor (which we are not).

TTFS is the in-game downloads system.

Start by making sure that the drive where you have Renegade installed is not close to being full (at least a couple GB free space). You may need to clear your TTFS cache, which is where those downloads go. Kinda like with our launcher, sometimes a download will corrupt and must be deleted so that fresh downloads can happen.

Duuuuude! Long time no see! How are you these days? The package that cyberarm linked should take care of the problem but let us know if it doesn't. And stick around a while! More old APB versions (and other things) to play coming some day haha

Come again?

It just occurred to me that we can ask CCHyper what happened.

Aha! I did not properly understand what you were trying to describe, so I'm glad you found this screenshot. The textures are not what are missing, but rather the models! The brown you see there is the sky beyond. I have seen this before, several times over the years, but I am not sure what causes it.

Interesting. The Scripts update alone will not change any texture files, as it is only an update to the game's engine files. However, we do perform integrity checks on the asset files (textures, sounds, models, etc), and if any integrity violations are found (corruption basically), then those will be automatically repaired by the program that runs in the command window that you mentioned seeing. I'm not sure what to think about this honestly, as I've never heard of this particular issue as you have described it. It sounds like whatever it was, was automagically repaired though, so that is good. And no worries, I totally believe you. This is far from being the most outlandish bug that has been reported. If you encounter anything else, please don't hesitate to report it! The W3D engine has built-in screenshot functionality as well, so all you have to do is press the Print-Screen key on your keyboard and it will place the screenshot files into the Renegade folder in your Documents folder (or under the name of whatever other W3D game you may otherwise be playing). Thanks

@ Cloister56 Hello, and welcome to W3D-Hub. It is unfortunate that you are having issues, but maybe we can figure this out. This is a new type of issue that I have personally not heard of before when simply adding the scripts package to Renegade. Let's try something - Go to the Tiberian Technologies website and download an older version of the scripts package. Try version 4.7 or 4.6 for example, and let us know if the same behavior continues. Could you also include some screenshots or even video of this phenomenon you are experiencing? Thanks

I've just realized that I don't know how to do this myself, so I'm interested in the answer as well. I know that vehicles can be spawned via the spawnvehicle command, but I'm not sure about bots. The difference is that a vehicle is not controlled by a bot AI by default, but you'd want that with a character. Also worth noting that whenever bots are involved, the level must have been exported with pathfinding pre-generated so that the bots can find their way around. I'm not certain, but I would suspect that this is the case in all SP levels, since fighting the bots is the whole point. But in MP, they will misbehave because they have no idea where to go (I've seen this when spawning them by other means). Also, Hi there! I see that you are new here. I'm going to move this thread to the appropriate subforum.

It sounds like you had "fallen through a crack" so to speak. Renegade and IA are two separate games. It is not supposed to be possible (anymore) to connect to an IA server via a normal Renegade client, although with enough tomfoolery (or in your case dumb luck) it was still possible. At some point, more action was taken to prevent this from happening, which is likely what made your game stop working. So going forward (and I hope this clears up your confusion), just think of IA and Renegade as two separate things. Because they are. IA is so customized that it uses its own special flavor of the engine (which is why it will not prompt you for a scripts upgrade) while Renegade TT is "mainline", and will receive TT updates through the normal channels. Furthermore, our launcher has been configured to recognize this difference, and to treat them as different games (sorta). IA is as separate as APB, TSR, BFD, etc... In conclusion - Use the IA client for IA, use Renegade for all other Renegade servers. Get updates when they come available for either one, but IA will only update via Launcher updates or in-game updates. Renegade will not receive W3D-Hub Launcher updates, but may prompt for TT updates at launch, as well as in-game updates (also known as TTFS). Lol

Unfortunately several have grown up, moved on, or passed on. But the rest of us are still doing what we can in our spare time I'm not certain if your usergroup has access to tester-level stuff, but you should check on the launcher under the Reborn category and see if you see anything "extra" there. If not, let me know and I'll get you access. A little throwback...

Stick around a while, I'm sure we can do it all again
