- Introduction -
To run a Renegade Dedicated Server you need to install the Renegade FDS (Renegade Free Dedicated Server).
A dedicated server is basically a command prompt type program which allows for Renegade Clients to connect
and play on the server. Dedicated servers are usually unattended and you cannot play as the host while running
a dedicated server. Running a dedicated server also enables you to run SSGM 4.0 and/or other special modifications
which are unavailable for the game client.

 

- MPF Public FDS Package -

You can now download a prepared package of the FDS with DA 1.92 and TT 4.6 applied, source code included with examples @




- Downloads -
You can download the RenegadeFDS installation file on for example multiplayerforums over here:

- Installation -
After you have installed the Renegade FDS, copy the contents of the serverfiles folder from the 4.0 server download into the FDS folder.
Edit server.ini, svrcfg_cnc.ini, tt.cfg and ssgm.ini as per the documentation in this topic.
You then also need to install the Visual C++ runtime libraries and the DirectX runtimes from the "redist" folder.
The server.exe file in the 4.1 server download is the one you should be using as it has been modified.
You do not need to apply the "no gameplay pending" patch to it as that patch is now a server.ini option.
Make sure anticheat.ini is in the data folder otherwise the anti-cheat will probably kick you even with stock renegade files.


- Requirements -
When running the server in Westwood Online Mode (or XWIS these days) you require a valid serial number to run the server.
This can be a FDS Serial or your Renegade Client serial.
In GameSpy mode there are no requirements.


- Notes for WOL Mode (XWIS) -
To get passed the WOL installation for the RenegadeFDS you need to enter a (fake) serial number that starts with 0669.
For example: 0669714956637887900319 ( Note: This is a fake serial and you cannot host a server in XWIS/WOL mode with this serial,
it is only provided for you so you can get passed the installation dialogs. )
