We have recently made some changes to our administrative structure. Kickmofohas informed us that he would like to step down in order to be able to devote more time to his personal life. This something most of us can understand very well. Moderating for a server and especially being the leader is like having another job expect that it is unpaid. There is a lot of work that goes into it and most of it is unseen in the background. While we regret to see him go we understand that real life must always come first. Kick has done a lot of great things for furthering and advancing our Renegade Server. He will remain an admin in our community but will no longer be the leader of the Renegade Division.
 
Taking Kick's place as the leader will be r3surr3Ktx. He has really grown in our community and made it his home. He has taken up many projects that no one else wanted to and has put in a huge amount of work into both our Renegade server and community as a whole. r3 plays renegade frequently, has built rapport with the players and is willing to speak his mind and bring new ideas to the table. He has done a great job and proved himself a reliable and dedicated contributor to our community. We cannot think of a better person to lead our Renegade section.
 
Please join us in thanking Kick for the great work he has done and congratulating r3 on his new position.

New Game Servers Online
Because we are always looking for new games to play, we've launched a couple of new servers for several games including:
 
 
CounterStrike Global Offensive
Everybody knows the game CSGO i think, so it doesn't need much clarification
Our server is hosted in Germany and gathers player statistics automatically processing daily and global awards every day @ 24h over at http://hlx.multiplayerforums.com/hlstats.php?game=csgo
 
Team Fortress 2
TF2 is a free game and can be downloaded from Steam @ http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/ and our server statistics can be found @ http://hlx.multiplayerforums.com/hlstats.php?game=tf
 
Overwatch
Overwatch is a brand new IP from Blizzard, It's an FPS Style game quite similar to Team Fortress 2 yet modern and alot more fun imo! -@Cronus
A couple of our people are playing this regularly, feel free to join up in our Teamspeak 3 channels for it @ ts.multiplayerforums.com when looking for games.
Come visit our channel on irc.cncirc.net in #overwatch to discuss the game and arrange things.
 
Generals & Zero Hour
We're also expanding our C&C adventure to include Generals Zero Hour. We found that a LOT of players are present on a thing called Game Ranger who play Generals & Zero Hour.
@r3surr3Ktx is setting up the downloads for it and has written a few guides on how to play and set up the game. See the forum for details @  https://multiplayerforums.com/forum/464-cc-generals-zero-hour/
 
Unreal Tournament 3
UT3 short, is an excellent fast paced FPS game with a few game modes such as CTF, DM, and WAR(with tanks and things) we have 3 servers up for this game and it gathers statistics at http://ut3.multiplayerforums.com automatically updated every hour. The IRC channels are on irc.cncirc.net in #MPF-UT3-DM , #MPF-UT3-WAR and #MPF-UT3-CTF.
 
Unreal Tournament 4
UT4 is a free game for that matter and can be downloaded from http://www.unrealtournament.com after you sign up for an account.

Sad to hear this RIP

A suggestion presented by player @Relentless regarding tips prompted myself to mention to @zunnie about putting tips on the load screen for players to read while they load. And well, we didn't get tips on the load screens, but we did get pretty images of the map that you're loading into.  
 
Load screens made courtesy of MPF Developer zunnie.
 
An example:

 
There will be a small download from our ttfs repository for you to download the updated files we added to the .mix files. It's less than a meg though.
 
Enjoy,

I have fixed this for him over team viewer. Locking.

I've had the issue rackzz describes too. Old topics randomly appear as unread sometimes when no new posts have been made. I've been trying to find some sort of pattern to this to understand why but haven't been able to.

Hello MPF,
 
Ok some of you might be wondering what is going off with the server...
 
Basically we have had a lot of attacks recently (ddos) which stands for Distributed Denial Of Service. In short it floods the system and makes it unavailable until it crashes. You will have noticed increased lag spikes, warping and connection pending issues while playing. Even being disconnected from our server/s. This is all a result from a ddos attack and is not a client side issue.
We are currently in the process of migrating the renegade server to a new temporary host with access to a hardware firewall in an attempt to stop the attacks. We may choose to keep the new host based on whether it protects us or not, time will tell. Currently they are still trying to attack us, we are not alone and they are targeting other servers as well.
 
You will see some !commands etc not working properly how they are supposed to. We are working hard to fix the issues while we move across to the new host.
If you notice any issues that we might not have seen please mention it in this topic.
 
Finally the new server IP address for those that use renIP etc to connect is: 74.91.113.100:1337
 
Thank you for your continued patience and thank you for choosing MPF. Happy gaming! 
 
MPF Team.
 
 
 
 

Well it's a long-time coming honestly. No one remembered to reset it each month. However, new year, new ranks.
 
Also, new year... new rank web page UI.  (Thanks to @alexrirak!)
 
https://multiplayerforums.com/games/renegade/newmaps-ranks/
 
Ranks have also been placed back in point-whore mode (based on in-game/cumulative score).

You might have noticed the forum-creep we had here where the forums just got bloated with too many subforums.
 
I have gone through the forums this morning and, with staff blessing, cleaned up this bloat/creep. There is still a little bit of work left to do regarding adding tags to topics before they get moved to their new homes.
 
Here is a summary of what we agreed upon for the public forums:
 
Welcome to MultiPlayerForums.com Community News Introductions Discussions Screenshots and Videos Technical Support Dispute a Ban or Mute Community Reports Games C&C Red Alert: A Path Beyond C&C Renegade C&C Renegade-X C&C Tiberium Crystal War Minecraft Unreal Tournament Public Development Area Showcase Red Alert: A Path Beyond Renegade Renegade-X Clan Forums MPF Clan Hosted Forums C&C IRC Network Mutant Co-Op  
As you can see, we've consolidated all of the support forums and ban/mute dispute forums into a single area. Donators will see their forum has been moved to a lower area outside of the public forums. The 'Other Games' section will be tagged with their respective games before being moved into a singlular category.
 
If you have any feedback to offer, feel free to leave a reply here. 
 
edit: Staff/moderators of the divisions we have here can find their divisional staff forums at the bottom of the board now.
 
Thanks,
MPF Staff

Current sales:
 
Killing Floor 2 - 33% Off (Co-Op Survival Horror game)
 
Civilization Series - 45% to 75% Off (self-explanatory)
 
Tropico Series - 75% Off (City Builder)
 
Elder Scrolls Series - 60% to 75% Off (self-explanatory)
 
 

Forum Upgrade
As you guys can probably see we (read Genesis) have been upgrading the forums to the latest version of IPB 4.
 
Site Visuals
The forums are still original styled which will be updated soon enough
Kenz3001 will probably create a new design logo as well once he got some time to do it

Downloads Area
The downloads are available as well but for some reason you cannot view files in a root game category, only its subcategories.
While this is a bit annoying we will try to fix this asap. Other than that, the downloads should be working fine.
 
Donations
For now if you would like to donate to MPF you should send it manually to the paypal email address below:
[email protected]
FeaR will take a look at it and post about it then. The Donation tracker isn't working yet.

Thanks
Thank you all for visiting, creating, communicating, playing and donating to us to make this forum possible and our gameservers!
 

Over the last month or so, I've been rewriting the veteran system to be more optimized and making some adjustments to how the whole thing works.
- Points/rank last beyond death (no longer resets upon death)
- Discounts on purchased characters (vehicle discounts coming soon)
- Changed support power: !support split between !support (Basic/Intermediate infantry) and !advsupport (Commando/Dead Six drop)
- Changed support power: !turret, !guntower, and !samsite now linked to the same timer (each have their own limits)
- Turret, Guard Tower, and SAM site limits are no longer affected by existing placements on the map
- Buy weapons with your vet points (you lose the points, but keep the rank). A list of weapons will be provided in another news release.
At the time of this post, the bounty hunter system will need a reworking as well to accommodate the changes to the veteran system.
Level name changes probably. Right now, veteran ranks are using the classic Black-Cell style veteran ranks. We plan to keep our current rank names in this new veteran system, but it will take some time to balance the long list (10+ ranks) of veteran ranks and their points for lower point values.
With this new system, we are able to customize veterancy on a map by map basis should one of our developers want to have a custom set of ranks.
Release date: Sometime after November 15, 2015
Thanks,
MPF Renegade Team

Just wanted to show something
Teaser Preview image:

NewMaps's Custom Keys
We've updated the Imperial Age maps D3 Series with custom keys that are downloaded automatically by your game if you run TT 4.2.2 Update.
This means you can execute special key commands such as deploying vehicles with Q, sell vehicles with Backspace and deploying obstacles & anti-armor mines with the Sapper using N, B and M keys.
More information about the keys can be found in r3surr3Ktx's topic over here.
It doesn't work?
You must have an outdated 4.2 client update. Run the UAC Launcher or game.exe to have it automatically update.
If that fails for some reason, you can manually install it using the TT 4.2.2 Installation File
Renegade Imperial Age users
If you downloaded and installed Renegade Imperial Age v1.5 you are ready to go without any modifications.
Any version prior to v1.5 will need to update manually by downloading and installing Renegade Imperial Age v1.5 and install it on top of your existing <v1.5 folder.
Notes
When you join the game on any _D3 series map you will be notified by several popups that keys were added. Just click them away, this process happens only once.
Screenshot

Some of you may not even have noticed it but Cronus has moved our websites to a new host which is a bit cheaper in the long run.
Downtime was very minimal and everything is working great.
Excellent work Capt. Corni! It has to be said

Just a quick update, that !rate is now gone!  Instead I have created a !like & !dislike system after r3surr3Ktx bugged the piss out of me.  
 
Right after I created our !rate system, I thought about using a like and dislike system. I just never got around to it.. I saw sla|ro had it in his mutants server a few months ago and liked how he did it.
 
Any Suggestions feel free to let me know!  

Hi, I just met you (not) and this is crazy but will you make a coop map for me maybe?

Seriously thank you tho guys

Congratulations! Make us proud

We've promoted r3surr3Ktx to a Renegade Server Admin and he has access to our server to restart it and stuff in case of a crash.
This nab has been very helpful with us primarily with the download section, selecting new maps for the server rotation and general testing.
After months of respectful activity around here we decided to promote him to a Renegade Server Admin so he can perform additional tasks in the game and the forums.
His primary usergroup is still Download Manager though but he is ALSO a Renegade Server Admin.
Any issues with regards of downloads or the renegade server may be directed to him as well

Congrats man.

All websites have been moved!  Let me know if anything seems a miss.

Nice, all good so far

A much needed upgrade. Performance will kick-ass on this for sure.
It costs more but for quality you pay.
This is also in the United States so its a lil more central to most players and everyone should have a good or at least somewhat better ping and all, even our Aussie players.
I just hope that the community will continue to support us in this decision both financially and by playing on our stuff.
Configuring this thing will take a while and our servers and website may go down for a little bit during this.
Thanks everyone for being a part of MPF
