What's new?
The fourth version of Renegade X is up and ready to play! Renegade X is the Command & Conquer mod for Unreal Tournament 3, and since September 30th 2009, our beta has been open to the public to try out. We've consecutively released three versions of Renegade X in just over three months, and now our long-awaited version 0.5 is now available.
This will be our final build for Unreal Tournament 3. At this point forward, the team will be concentrating on porting Renegade X over to the Unreal Development Kit - this process will make the mod standalone, and therefore, once we make our Renegade X releases for the UDK, you will no longer require Unreal Tournament 3. The process will take a few months, and we will be sure to update you all with details once things are on their way.
At the same time, we will be organizing plenty of events for Renegade X 0.5. The latest version of the Server Client also includes an auto updater, which will allow us to make quick patches when necessary for 0.5
Download Renegade X 0.5 here!
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 0.5.
4. Download the Renegade X 0.5 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.
Maps and Mods for Renegade X!
That's right! Since this will be our last major release until the standalone version, the Renegade X team has decided to release a Map Editor and the mod's Source Code. These tools come with the 0.5 release download, and with them, one can make their own custom maps, mutators, and total conversion mods for Renegade X. You'll be able to put any custom content into Renegade X - so go ahead, make the mod yours, and go nuts with both the map editor and source code.
0.4 to 0.5 Changelist
We've spent the last two months adding plenty of new content, and fixing glitches for this new version. Changes include two new maps (Under and Walls), Powerplants, new weapons (Volt Autorifle and Ramjets), mod tools, enhanced visuals, bug fixes, and much more.

Man your maps look so polished, cant wait for UDK release, wont have an excuse to not try it.
holy freakin head exploding awesome job on Under (just looking at the images, it looks fantastic)
Quick Q, when you switch to UDK, will you add support for other OS like Linux?
Going standalone sounds wicked awesome! Cant wait
so the ps3 version is going to be released after the PC version has been completed?
Best multiplayer mod for UT3 ;)
I have a friend who's probably gonna faint once I show him the stand-alone version of this.
Hope it doesn't take too long. :D
Seriously, just a few screenshots are enough to convince me that this is one hell of a good project.
This mod looks awesome!
Played the old Renegade alot, can't wait for the standalone version.
- Fantastic work Developers!
Very nice !
The frozen map is awesome !
Hell yeah!
This looks awesome..again! Nice to see that Under is now in the game. Hope you still release updates including the remaining weapons before you work on the standalone-version.
Great Work!
Quick, someone start a Red Alert version of this before the A Path Beyond developers notices!
I hope bot support is on the "to do" list.
I love the concept and the execution! Great job, graphics look amazing!
Its pretty high on the ToDo-List, but we haven't reached it yet.
great, ready for UDK version
Just when I finally get around to downloading 0.4, you guys make an update! Ah, well, at least the mod's active.
Well 0.4 has been out for two months, and we announced the release date of 0.5 some time ago :P
Sweet, but will bots remain for the stand-alone version?
Bots will be there, once we got other priorized things done.
Its pretty high on the ToDo-List, but we haven't reached it yet.
Thanks for the support guys!
UDK coming up asap! Give us some time, though!
Having issues with binkw32.dll - upon trying to join a server I get an error message saying it's missing from my computer.
Finally, I can get online. Great work!
For some reason I can't download the patch 3 for Unreal Tourny. It won't allow me to go to the like click the link.
Man, the repair gun looks awesome! And it's going to be stand alone? I am definitely downloading this.
