Hiya everyone! @Einstein is hard at work getting things ready to add to Renegade Archive. For those that might not know, this is a project to have certain older builds of each game playable right from our launcher. APB Beta 1.2 was the first to make it, and is available on the launcher now! But there are so many, and so much to work on, and even more beyond the scope of just APB. So Einstein wants to know - what do you want the most? The results of this poll will determine which game gets (re)released next. This will also lead to more random events, and give newer members a chance to see just how far the game has come after all these years. -

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!
