Renegade X
Unreal Tournament 3 mod | Released Nov 14, 2009
About: 
Renegade X (formerly known as Renegade 2007) is a mod dedicated to recreating C&C Renegade in the new generation engine, the Unreal Engine 3. We all believe the Command and Conquer series is a very special one, and its fans have been following its games for over a decade now. C&C has been one of the most successful videogame series in the RTS Genre. Our modding team believes that C&C Renegade is truly a hidden gem in the FPS genre.
Why Renegade? C&C Renegade's specialty was its multiplayer mode, because it was not mindless killing like most games. A player was thrown into a battle as soon as he joined a server, in which teamplay was the only way to win. The game revolves around a war between the Global Defense Initiative, and the Brotherhood of Nod. Each faction would have their own base of operations consisting of buildings. A team had to work together to destroy the enemy base, while keeping theirs intact. By simply switching engines, our team will have fixed many of C&C Renegade's faults. The original game had many problems such as bad netcoding, poor graphics, glitches, etc. Our main goal is to bring this great gameplay to the masses, all the graphical enhancements is merely just icing on the cake.
Structures: - Obelisk/Advanced Guard Tower (Base defenses) Without these, your team has no automatic defense.
- Hand of Nod/ Barracks (Purchase higher class infantry) Without this, your team cannot purchase higher-classed infantry.
- AirStrip/Weapons Factory (purchase vehicles) Without it, your team cannot purchase any vehicles.
- Power plant (Generates power for your base) Without it your defenses will go offline, income will be cut in half, and all units will be double their original price.
- Refinery (Sends an AI controlled harvester to collect resource) Without this, you will not receive any free credits
Objectives: There are 2 ways to destroy an enemy building- you can either destroy them by infiltrating the structure and planting C4 explosives, or you can bombard it with vehicles and weapons from the outside. You also have 14 classes of Infantry per team to choose from, as well as 15 vehicles in total.
New Features: We also plan on adding plenty of new features that the original Renegade didn't ship with, such as:
- New Gameplay modes.
- Built in voice communication.
- Server side variables to control how the game is played on your server.
- And so much more.
We plan on remaking the original standard maps in the new-generation format. The team will be taking advantage of the engine by using much more polygons and bigger resolutions of textures. Although the maps will keep their original appearance and feel introduced in Renegade, they will graphically be much better than the initial versions. Of course, that being said, our project is not only limited to remaking the original maps. We will be making maps of our own design, which will all be littered with strategic and vantage points.
All ingame models will have a fresh new look with todays standards of 3d design, such as normal mapping, bump mapping, and will all be dynamically lit up during gameplay.

Welcome to the third Renegade X release version. Renegade X is the Command & Conquer mod for Unreal Tournament 3 and, as promised, we opened the doors of our 0.35 beta to the public on September 30th. Since then, we've released the 0.36 beta, and today we are opening our doors to the third phase of Renegade X. The 0.40 beta is now available!
Download the Renegade X 0.40 build today!

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!: You do NOT need any previous version of Renegade X to play the 0.40 beta! It is a totally new build, and it doesn't depend on any older betas or patches.
If you would like to play Renegade X version 0.40, it is important that you consider the following:
1. You must have a legal copy of Unreal Tournament 3. If you don't have it yet, it can be found for extremely reasonable prices on Steam and most game stores.
2. You must have the latest Unreal Tournament 3 patch applied to your game. If you have UT3, and have not yet patched it with the latest UT3 patch, then please download it here: Udn.epicgames.com NOTE: If you bought the Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition from Steam you do NOT need this patch (it's already included).
3. You must remove any previous versions of Renegade X from your computer. Go to your "My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3" folder, and delete the "Renegade" folder before you install Renegade X 0.40.
4. Download the Renegade X 0.40 beta.
5. Run the installation to fully install this version of Renegade X.
6. Create a shortcut to the mod. If you are unable to launch the Frontend (Server Client) application, the reason is because you do not have .NET frame work 3.5 installed. However, you can still run the mod by creating an Unreal Tournament 3 shortcut, and in the Properties target line, simply add " -mod=..\Renegade -solomod" minus the quotes at the end. Playing the mod in "Instant Action" also requires this same short cut.
Renegade X 0.40 Changelist
Below is a link to the current changelist from the 0.36 to 0.40 builds. Notable changes include the new radio command system, a new map, a new infantry class, and oh so much more. Check it out!

Unreal Development Kit
As some of you are now aware, Epic has released the new Unreal Development Kit (or "UDK"). This is HUGE news.
The UDK is essentially a free version of the Unreal Engine 3, available for developers worldwide. The kit includes the most updated version of the award-winning engine, with all of the necessary editors and tools to create standalone games. Everything from the ease of use and flexibility of the engine, all the way up to the visual elements have been greatly enhanced in almost every possibly manner.
With the UDK, any developer can make standalone games, without paying a cent. There is also a commercial version of the UDK: simply pay $99 USD, and you can create and sell your own games. The first $5,000 will go straight to the developer - after that, 25% of the proceeds will go to Epic Games. Not only is this great for small developers, but it's a very intelligent business move on Epic's behalf.
The usage of the UDK is totally free, and Renegade X, like many other mods, plans to take advantage of this great kit.
Since this is all new to us, we can't quite say much yet. But what I can say, is, there is a great chance Renegade X will become a standalone game in the future. Still freeware, obviously, this isn't going commercial due to its C&C themes, but a standalone Renegade X means you will no longer need UT3 to play it.
The process could take months, so our plan is to release one or two more versions of Renegade X for Unreal Tournament 3 in the near future (so don't worry, C&C fans, your UT3 did not go to waste ;)). We will then spend as much time as it takes trying to port everything to the UDK and building some of the coding from scratch. It may take some time, but in the end, a standalone version of Renegade X is entirely possible, and by the time that happens, you can expect a lot of new, cool features.
Havoc
The rough n' tough Commando is back and ready to rock and roll! Some of you may have noticed that we're using a temporary "Havoc model" ingame in the past few versions of Renegade X. We are happy to present to you the recreated concept of the main character, Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker!
We will unveil the model when it is complete.
Rocket Officers
The GDI and Nod Rocket Officers are back, and now available for use in Renegade X 0.40.
Dev Night
We will be hosting a Dev Night next weekend. On November 21st and 22nd, the developers of Renegade X (Totem Arts) will be joining the 0.40 public servers for a game. The projected time for both days, which are next Saturday and Sunday, is 3:00pm EST. You're all invited - if you'd like to take part in this event, keep your eyes open for more news, and be sure to get the 0.40 beta up and running.

Hey, newest version doesnt work for me =( 0,36
Some issue when starting the game. WHen I click on the shortcut, the renegade screen appears, then the game starts, but then it turns to UT3 and gives me a message similar to this: "Downloading renegade package failed - error".
What can I do against that? By the way the game is installed in the games main direction on D:\ because I have windows on C:\ and with the previous release it worked that way. Can that cause issues?
0.36 is not the newest version.
Download 0.40 and try that. Make sure you follow the installation instructions.
I did. It should say "0.36 worked fine". Somehow the "worked fine" vanished.
So you got any solutions? Btw, reason I post here is because I cant login to the forums anymore (no, did nothing wrong).
The problem might be that you have it on D, because the mod should be in My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3
Is it installed there?
by the way, you had to delete your previous version of Renegade X before installing the mod. So simply go to the Unreal Tournament 3 folder in My Documets\My Games and delete the "Renegade" folder.
K, thanks for your help.. done that, but it doesnt help.. it just starts UT3 even though RenX logo shows up, and then ends up in the 1 fps issue or the screen stays black.
Is there bot support in this one?
Depends on the time of day...
Whats the average player count? It's been two days and I still haven't seen anyone playing this.
It depends on the time. I live in EST (eastern standard time), east coast of North America, and usually a good amount of people are playing between noon and 6pm.
Does a lot of people play this mod?
