Yes, thanks everyone for donating, we would've been long gone and history if you guys didn't lol
Thanks And nice post Wyld

Had to move this topic from Donations to News: It was messing up the layout on the website lol (the image i mean)

We probably don't say it enough or you can't say it enough, but we greatly appreciate everyone that donates to our Community. We truly do. Without your support we would not exist. You are truly AWESOME!
 

So we have a downloadcount of over 70.000 right now.
Very nice
Keep those files coming

IRC.CNCIRC.NET - CnCIRC
We had a grande idea for a network of IRC servers related to various Command and Conquer communities.
It will be possible for pretty much any community to link up with CnCIRC.net and bring all sorts of CNC fans together on one network.
Cronus and Genesis have been working their butts off to configure this all for our enjoyment


MPF IRC Servers
There is not changing anything for MPF's servers apart from the network name which shall be *.cncirc.net instead of *.multiplayerforums.com
You can continue to use the MPF addy irc.mpforums.com or irc.multiplayerforums.com however you should change your scripts to include the new network name of *.cncirc.net

 
 
Other C&C Communities
At present, we have the following communities connected to the network:
MPF (Renegade community) CnCFPS (C&C news site) Nite-Serv (C&C Community) Tibitek (Renegade-X community) Tiberian Genesis / C&C Generations (CE3 game based in C&C universe) Kamuix (Renegade community built around MissionDM) Renegade-X / Infamous IRC (developers of Renegade-X) Avalon / THS (Minecraft community) Jelly is available through a channel "janus" link for #jelly and #jelly-marathon (others included, just do a /list *jelly*) BHP (A Path Beyond community) Connecting to the IRC network
You can use the addy irc.multiplayerforums.com or irc.cncirc.net to connect to the network which will randomly pick a server.
It should be noted that there is no more autojoin for #MPF on the network, so if you want to be in this channel (and others) you will have to add them into your perform or script to join them.

Oper Privileges
These are very scarce and only a couple of trustworthy people have global oper status assigned to help users with for example registration problems and any other issues they may have.
If you or someone you know requires any help please tell them to join the channel #cncirc

Have fun!
Please have fun chatting on the CnCIRC network. We hope to see this grow and become the 'quakenet' for CnC
If you have any questions or want to link a server then please talk to Genesis and Cronus as they are in charge of the CnCIRC network.

To answer your question NFHAVOC, I have edited the main post to include a list of communities that are linked to us right now.

New Administrators and Staff
For a while now these people have been helping out in the "shadows" for a long time now in lots of different areas for MPF.
Be it through Teamspeak or IRC and what not for the past few years some of them or a bit more recent.
Regardless of how long exactly they have been around, they all have earned their position we think.

Who are they?
- Genesis2001 is now an Administrator for his long endurance in supporting MPF in many areas including the forums, irc and server.
- Kickmofo is now an Administrator to be able to fully run the Renegade division as the leader for this.
- Mike is now an Administrator with several duties regarding the maintenance and support of the websites.
- Unknown is now an Staff member for his work on brenbot coding and irc and the server.

Thank you and have a great time over at MPF

We've added a two new Menu Items at the top of the forums where the navigation bar is located:
- RenHelp
- Stats
Both have submenu items which lead to the various help sections of RenHelp and to the statistics gathering websites we are hosting for Renegade, Red Alert APB, and Counter Strike Global Offensive.

Preview:

Welcome back Commanders!
Subdomains
The websites for Renegade, Imperial Age, CSGO, Unreal Tournament 4, TCW, APB, and Renegade-X have all been moved successfully to a subdomain under .multiplayerforums.com
We registered a short domain to easy access the sites, to view their pages visit one of the following links:
http://ren.mpforums.com -> UltraAOW Website for NewMaps and Snipers
http://imperial.mpforums.com -> Imperial Age Website for ImperialKaskins's Modifications
http://csgo.mpforums.com -> CounterStrike Global Offensive section website
http://unreal.mpforums.com -> Unreal Tournament 4 servers and info's
http://tcw.mpforums.com -> Tiberium Crystal War website and info's
http://apb.mpforums.com -> Red Alert A Path Beyond Server Informations
http://renx.mpforums.com -> The Renegade-X website division
http://www.renhelp.net -> The RenHelp forums for help with Renegade
Notice Errors?
We've worked all day and night the last few days to get this sorted. However we may have missed something: If you spot any errors please let us know
Cheaper
This change is probably for the best, it keeps everything nice and clean under one primary domain and is also somewhat cheaper for us.
Special Thanks
Special thanks goes to Cronus and Genesis who have done the backend of configuring the software and operating system.
Remember
Remember people we need donations to stay online
This change may be a little cheaper in the long run but we still do need donations to survive.
We have a very good serverpc with OVH in Canada now and are planning to hold on to it for a long time to come.
Our expenses are still roughly $200 USD a month for this. Probably a little over. So if there is anything you can miss please do not hesitate and donate
Thanks!
Greetz zunnie

The forums will be moved to a new location in Canada on 1Gbps with OVH today.
Expect the forums to go offline for a little while. They should return asap.
 
MOVE COMPLETED :: HAVE FUN

Moving our stuff
Hello ppl, we are about to move our stuff from our ServerPC at Limestone to a new datacenter controlled by a company called OVH located in Beauharnois, QC, Canada.
We are getting a lot better hardware and a very fast connection to go along with it.
It will cost us around $180 USD a month.
When and how long?
Our current ServerPC will be cancelled effectively on the 9th of Decemeber 2014. So we must have moved our stuff over to the new ServerPC at OVH before this date.
That said, we are going to order our new ServerPC between the 25th and 30th of this month November 2014.
The gameservers won't be offline very long this way, since they can continue to run while we work on setting them up on the new ServerPC. If everything goes well downtime for the gameservers alone should be less than 30 minutes.
What about the Websites
The websites are a little different story. We are moving these as well and will host them 100% ourselves again on CentOS 6 x64 operating system with an Official cPanel license.
Downtime for the forums will be slightly longer because we have to move and configure more for this type of thing than the gameservers and the forums cannot stay online while we work on moving them.
Subdomain Re-organization
Most if not all of our websites we have such as ultraaow.com, ren-x.com, mpf-games.com, tiberiumcrystalwar.com and a few others will run off a subdomain instead, this is cheaper and keeps everything centralized on our primary domain: multiplayerforums.com
There will be subs for all of them: ren.multiplayerforums.com, renegade-x.multiplayerforums.com, tcw.multiplayerforums.com, etc.
Donations are really welcome

If you ever only thought of donating to us: This month is the time to do so
We are preparing some big changes and some require us to purchase hardware or licenses for the forums and all.
If we all stick in a few bucks we all happy
Note that donators have some minor advantages in our servers and website: Read More here

There was a "problem" with the Donation function displaying everything in Dutch for a while.
I've fixed this now and the default language is now English again.
To donate click here Thanks

We've moved the forums to a Vritual Private Server located in Amsterdam the Netherlands on a 1Gbps connection again.
If you notice anything weird or wrong on the forums please let us know!

Story and Gamemode
Renegade X is set in the near future, in a world dominated by a contagious yet valuable resource called Tiberium. The Global Defense Initiative (GDI) is an international security force set to combat global terrorism. Conceived as a united peacekeeping military force, GDI depends on the technological sophistication of its weaponry, and the superior training and loyalties of its officers. GDI looks to halt the spread of Tiberium, which is gradually destroying the Earth and killing off millions of people. At the same time, the Brotherhood of Nod, led by the charismatic leader known only as Kane, grew to prominence. Working largely in third world countries, wherever there was discontent and unrest, there was Kane. With the promise of a New World Order and bankrolled by the illicit Tiberium research and trade that Kane made famous, Nod began to gain power. A few scattered, disaffected units grew into an army with powerful atomic weaponry, ruthless tactics, and a Tiberian fortune. The Brotherhood aims to push humanity into the next stage of evolution via Tiberium mutation.
Where GDI stands for international stability and the removal of the Tiberium contagion, Nod seeks to overthrow the established order and build a world centred on Tiberium research.

What’s next?
We discussed some of our thoughts on the future of Renegade X in our previous update: http://www.renegade-x.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=74009
What we can say is that Totem Arts will continue working on and updating Renegade X. We have a few new maps in the works (including remakes of Under and Complex!), and a new gamemode in the planning stages. We’re excited with what the future has in store. For now, Beta 3 was a necessary step towards having a stable game and a stable community. There have been over 200 fixes and changes since our previous version, as well as two new maps, two new special items, and new art.
We are a free game, and therefore we do not have an advertising budget. Renegade X relies completely on word-of-mouth, so please do whatever you can to spread the news. Upload a beta mirror, e-mail a gaming site or magazine, record a YouTube video, post about us on reddit and other forums, and be sure to tell your friends! The bigger our playerbase is, the more work we can put into the game.
With that said, we do aspire to become a Steam game, but we cannot do so without EA’s expressed permission. We have been trying to get to the EA licensing manager, but so far unsuccessfully. If you have any ideas on how Renegade X can become a Steam game, post them in the comments! If you know anyone from EA, point them in our direction please!
That’s all for now!
We’re looking forward to seeing you all again. Let us know what you think – connect with us and the community through our website, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Soon enough, you’ll be hearing from us again. But for now, enjoy the game!

Nice, i will give it another go then

Hey guys! It's been a long time since we've had an update, but there's a lot of exciting news that we'd like to share with you today.

Beta 3 is coming out on October 8th!

The long-awaited evolution of Renegade X is coming out in 8 days! After several months of working, testing, and of course, playing our previous beta on the side, we're finally ready to push a new beta build. After beta 3, we will continue working on Renegade X - we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming up for later updates.

So, for Beta 3, you can expect to see the following:

•    Brand new Renegade X launcher!
•    New map: C&C Volcano
•    New items: AT mines and EMP grenades
•    New Black Hand character model
•    Crash fixes
•    New UI features (interactive pause-menu and scoreboard)
•    End-game sequences  
•    Oodles of balance changes and fixes for weapons and vehicles
•    New first-person animations for some weapons
•    Audio changes (silo capturing is now broadcasted, weapon and vehicle sound changes)
•    Texture, LOD, and shader optimizations – game runs much smoother
•    TeamDonate command
•    Weapon and vehicle reticle changes
•    Many glitch fixes
•    And much more!

Beta 3 will be available for FREE at http://www.renegade-x.com on October 8th 2014.

What else is up?

We at Totem Arts have been developing Renegade X for over 7 years. In that time, we released several RenX Unreal Tournament 3 alphas, a standalone singleplayer game, and two standalone multiplayer betas. We've come a long way - this game has matured, and so have we. As a free project, it’s difficult to give Renegade X all of the time and attention that it needs to hit its climax in success. Still, we plan to do everything in our power to support our community and empower those who can help us in that goal.

For the next version of Renegade X (after Beta 3), we will be developing several new maps – including remakes of some of our favourite classics – and we will begin working on a new gamemode, which will be discussed at a later time. We realize that our players have dwindled significantly since our February release: we went from having 400-1000 players on at a time to just 40-80 players. You can still catch a good game of Renegade X at almost any part of the day, but we want to have a large, thriving, self-sufficient community.

Perhaps the biggest cause of the population shrink is the crashing, which became too annoying for many people to bear. We believe we have fixed those problems. Another cause was ingame exploits, and we’ve since developed some countermeasures to the use of exploits. A third reason is that C&C mode – which is very different from what gamers are used to nowadays – perhaps did not appeal to some of the newcomers. While many FPS games are based on k/d ratios and capturing flags, Renegade X is about defending and destroying bases, which is radically different from the mainstream. Renegade X is not for everybody, but we are exploring ways to gain new audiences while retaining our roots.

We are a free game, and therefore we do not have an advertising budget. Renegade X relies completely on word-of-mouth, so please do whatever you can to spread the news. Upload a beta mirror, e-mail a gaming site or magazine, record a YouTube video, post about us on reddit and other forums, and be sure to tell your friends! The bigger our playerbase is, the more work we can put into the game.

With that said, we do aspire to become a Steam game, but we cannot do so without EA’s expressed permission. We have been trying to get to the EA licensing manager, but so far unsuccessfully. If you have any ideas on how Renegade X can become a Steam game, post them in the comments! If you know anyone from EA, point them in our direction please!

Volcano

The new and improved Volcano is complete, and it will be available in Beta 3. Check it out below!






Black Hand Sniper!

Check out the new Black Hand. Looks a lot better than a painted SBH, right?



EMP grenades

We’ve added a new purchasable item in Beta 3 that will be available to both GDI and Nod. The EMP grenade is a C4-replacement that freezes the vehicles in its radius for a few seconds. While the vehicles would still have access to their guns, they cannot move as long as the EMP effect remains.

AT mines

The new AT mine is an anti-armour C4-replacement. A player can deploy a maximum of two AT mines, which have the firepower of a remote-C4. However, these mines can be destroyed by enemy weapons.



New Tiberium Flechette Model

Capturing a Tiberium Silo gives your team the ability to purchase a Tiberium Flechette. We have created a new model - check it out!



--

And that is all for today. Be sure to download Beta 3 on October 8th, and to stay tuned for more Renegade X news!

Oh, and by the way, happy Rene-birthday X! September 30th was the day that we released our very first Renegade X alpha for Unreal Tournament 3 back in 2009. So we wish you fun times ahead and many presents to come

Complaints
After a dozen complaints the downloads were getting slow, we talked to our webhost and they offered a solution.
We have moved the websites to an alternative connection within the same Webhost Provider company, the data is now delivered through a secondary 1Gbps connection.
Past testing
Nobody probably noticed much however we tested UltraAOW.com and MPF-Imperial-Age.com which were moved to test the performance for a while.
We are now confident that the new connection is good and so we have moved multiplayerforums.com to this as well.
Downtime or Differences?
There should be no downtime or any notice-able difference for visitors of our websites other than faster downloads and loading times.
I noticed a big difference myself personally where downloads would start at 3MB/s and gain speed gradually up to 10MB/s whereas in the past on the old connection it would start at around 500KB/s and slowly build up.
Thanks
Thanks for visiting our websites and servers and please continue to do so!

Thank you
Thank you for downloading Renegade Imperial Age v1.11

Lol, you mean where the chinook kept dropping bots at the gate nonstop?
Thats a really longass time ago, it also fucked up the official wol rankings for a while lol
All players were put on GDI and the server reported a 80 player game was played and everyone got a ton of ladderpoints for it lol

Some of you may have noticed the entire Box crashing lately.
 
To fix this we are going to do an OS Reload.  Previously we have changed out all hardware and its still crashing, there are not alot of options left, we and the DC believe an OS Reinstall will fix it.
 
We will be doing this ASAP (in like 3 hours of this post..)
