WOL -> XWIS Transition Complete **ANNOUNCEMENT**
type: item
description: It's official! Renegade players are now directed to the XWIS service instead of Westwood Online. Just remember that you don't have to do anything different to connect to XWIS. Just select the "Westwood Online" option in your Renegade client and connect as always. Along with this transition, I am very happy to announce that Blackhand Studios has partnered with Strike Team to support the Renegade XWIS server. As part of this partnership, BHS will be equipped to handle several types of support issues, as well as communicating more effectively with the community through the MOTD seen when players log in. We are very confident that this transition will turn out to be a great thing for Renegade. We will keep the Renegade Wiki updated with information and answers to your questions as they arise. In closing, I want to extend a HUGE thanks to the following people who made this all possible: Olaf and DonCarlo at Strike-Team, Apoc and Pete L. at EA, and Scorpio9a who worked with Olaf to get the NAT bug fixed. Happy gaming!

description: Then maybe BHS CAN help me with my problem! (see below) trooprm02 wrote on Sun, 13 November 2005 20:02 trooprm02 wrote on Sun, 13 November 2005 11:34 HUGE PROBELM NOW! Ok, so I logged on to my trooprm02 account, everything worked fine,(I got a list of servers etc), BUT then I let my bro go on his trooprmJR account, and it said "serial has been marked invalid!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I switch back, and I'm unable to login on my trooprm02 account! ^READ CAREFULLY First off, my bro just started playing renegade yesterday (online anyway), and I was there and he didn't cheat! The other thing, My account worked (NOTE: WE HAVE THE SAME SERIAL!), so it is oviusly not a cheating probelm I really need Blazers or Crimsons help because I'm sure many people have talked to them about a similiar problem. Oh and its not cheating because the guy said some regulars, that means he knows them and they don't cheat! So other people are having the problem, the only question is how to fix it! Then blazer sia BHS can't help becuase your not affiliated... WAIT! YES YOU CAN! Check to see wiether "trooprmJR" logged into renguard 2 days ago from the date of this post! If you could provide this info to me, that could clear up any issue for XWIS to say that me/my bro were cheating!

description: The problem where you have to set the server port to zero has returned, presumably they will be implementing the fix they used on the xwis setup we have been using recently ? *Edit, I forgot to say that I echo Crimsons comments and would also like to thank the Strike team and BHS, I really do think this will be great for the game. All of us from the Jelly server are very greatful for all the effort everyone concerned has put into this.

Side note: When I lodged in to WOL i get a server list with about 30 server, then i use XWIS tool and connect to get about 60 different servers, y is that?

I just thought it might be better that way than all servers could include more maps on there rotation. This is just an idea i came up with, Not a demand.

Well I'm still not confident about it. I got 3 names i use on a server deleted by XWIS. Also there are a bunch of people that started threads about deleted nicks and invalid serials on XWIS forum. Once that is fixed for all users, then I'll be more confident about the change.

Now I'm not saying RG is full of virii because we all know it isn't, but the fact that forcing people to download something they shouldn't need is unethical. But hey.

Will this one be reset too soon? just create a clan on clanwars.cc. I would just like to have a renegade-clan so our members feel "related". A clanwars.cc - clan is for max 10 players if i'm right and you need to report a CW every X weeks ofcourse. We have more members but not all CW all that often. I just want some kind of link between us, as if we would put a tag before our name (like Soq has, for exemple). So my question remains .

description: Lijitsu wrote on Sat, 19 November 2005 13:55 Yeah, but all the MP servers have 996 ping, heh heh. The ones I get, anyway. uhuh, I hope you don't mean IN the game, outside when you look at the server list there is alot more with 999 ping. That doesn't mean the actualy ping is 999 it's just the the server will most likely have a dedicated firewall which blocks incomming ICMP. @trooper no im not 100% sure, but on the strike team forum I read something about the WOL transition and it said it would take the serial data base from EA and it would not alow people to use more people on a serial. I can't find it right now but I'm sure I read something simmilair like this. I like the mod when you login btw, it will really help I think. Maybe some basic rules too?

Ok, so I would: 1.Install with my serial 2.update to 1.037 3.Install renguard 4.apply the no-cd crack and it should work? another thing, xwis says that we don't need that tool anymore, well if I don't manually set it to xwis, it won't connect for me...
