This is the current public beta version of the W3D-Asterisk Connect Tool - A direct connect tool built to be a spiritual successor to the legacy RenIP connect tool. This tool is compatible with all Renegade W3D-engine mods.
It includes:
A universal server connect tool, compatible with all Renegade-based mods on the W3D engine. A universal single-player game launcher. Save an entry for all of your W3D-based games and easily run them from here! The ability to save multiple server profiles for quickly changing between your various favorite games and servers. Multiple config options (with many more to come!) so that you can have things just the way you like them. Adding execution arguments to the game - useful for developers! An IRC !auth feature for players with protected nicknames. No more joining IRC just to run one command and leave, this will do it for you! GSA Query (functional but incomplete). Many features are still being developed. Stay tuned for updates! Design choice notes:
For simplicity's sake, I have chosen to not attempt to disallow the user to delete saved items in the Games and IRC Profiles lists even if those items are currently associated with a Server Profile (this will break the associated profiles). There are warnings, but the user may do as they wish (since they can manually edit the file anyway). I have also chosen to not force uniqueness in IRC Profiles. Due to the way it is coded currently, this makes sense as these profiles do not have actual names but rather are identified by a concatenated string of all contained information, minus the password. I hope to fix this in the future. Still to come!
Data management rewrite (for saving/loading all the user-entered data) GSA query improvements Themes (re-worked, better than before!) Bug fixes

Ever wondered where RA:APB started? Well, you can see for yourself! Back in 2002, two gents known as Agent Gibson and 13f7h4nd3d (Lefthanded) hatched an idea to build a Red Alert 1 themed mod for Renegade. This was a bold idea, as Renegade had only released earlier that same year. But they got to work, and Renegade Alert was born.
Unlike all later versions which are "total conversions" aka standalone games, this initial release is a "pkg mod", or single-file self-contained mod, which was common in those days. It makes use of Westwood's built-in mod-loader, which works by using Renegade as a foundation, pulling what it needs from the base game, and loading new (modified) content on top of it to produce the intended experience.
To play: (Renegade is required, version does not matter)
Extract the .pkg file from the .7z file in the download. Paste it into your Renegade/data folder, and then run the game. Host a multiplayer game, and on the "map cycle" selection screen, choose "RedAlertMod" from the oft-ignored dropdown menu at the top labeled "Mod package". A single map will then appear in the list - ra_keep_off_the_grass - which you will want to double click to move into the rotation list. Click "start game" and travel in time all the way back to the dawn of Renegade modding! Enjoy!

This is the Sole Survivor mod for C&C Renegade, released in 2004 by SomeRhino. Download contains the release 1.01 installer as well as the 1.2 patch. You will need stock Renegade for this to work. Enjoy!

This is the official game manual from 1.2.0 Beta. This was in 2007, and the project had once again changed hands somewhat, and was being developed at Bluehell Productions.
This manual was originally distributed with the game installer, and was in html format. Technically it still is, but I've packed the whole thing up into this nice self-contained executable that also locks it to a specific size (1024x768) because viewing it on a modern-day-sized screen stretches it out and things get out of place and look weird. A single file is also more convenient and easier to preserve and distribute.

Originally created by user Tesla066 for APB Beta in 2007 (when the TACO clan was still around).
All I have done is updated the texture names to work with APB Delta.
Simply extract the texture files into your APB install's data folder, which is located at "C:\Program Files (x86)\W3D Hub\games\apb-release\data" by default. Thats it!
Enjoy!

This is the official game manual from version .9935b (the last "Alpha" version of the game). The project was under different direction by this time, with some of the original "RenAlert Team" members having left, some new guys being added, and the name "Emerald Studios" being adopted.

This is the Readme document from the original version .900 PKG release of the Renegade Alert/RenAlert mod (which of course later came to be known as Red Alert: A Path Beyond), dated March 31, 2003.
