Renegade X - UT3 mod(imminent release)

[smwScott]

I had a play around with it offline, and it's a pretty faithful conversion. Kind of. I'm glad they removed the invisible safety walls that Westwood had to put in to prevent you from hurting yourself by falling off things.
Some things have changed regarding gameplay, though. I did a quick test on Field - after taking out the Nod turret, I drove a GDI APC in to the Nod base and up to the obelisk so I could run in and blow it up. True to forum, the APC survives the first hit and you can get up close. However, the obelisk then hit me from directly above when I was stood next to it, so it seems to have greater accuracy or field of view than the original.
I also did a test on Islands - I planted a beacon in the harvester entrance to the refinery, and parked a buggy there to block the harvester's return, but it just basically ran it over and pushed it out of the way.
I'm intrigued to see how it plays with a large group, though.

The first thing you said sounds like a glitch, or at least an oversight. The defense towers shouldn't hit you when you're close. The second sounds more like a glitch they fixed.

Anyway, I can't get in a game anymore. It worked great last night, doesn't now. Very disappointed.

The second one wasn't a glitch but a legitimate tactic. You take an APC (for preference) and park it in the refinery bay, jump out and plant the beacon, then get back in the APC. The harvester returns and your APC ss blocking it from entering. If the opposing team want to defuse the beacon, they'll have to destroy your APC first.

Edit: Disregard that, I just modifed the tactic and got it to work. I also took a ride on the GDI harvester!

bump, since I just got my xmas present (UT3) and I can finally try this mod out. Latest version seems to be 0.4; was released last month. Any noob stuff I should know?

So, does this have decent bot support or do you have to play online to get a decent game going?

I can't run it. UT3 works but any mods crash on load, most likely because my card doesn't support 3.0 shaders.

From what I've heard it doesn't have bot support. Whether it will be implemented later or not... I don't know. If it had bot support I would've loved to try it.

Same. UT3s multiplayer community is thin in itself, so I can't even imagine how it is when it comes to individual mods.
