CLIENT SIDE Steps to get it working: 1.Download http://download.renguard.com/cp2/patcher.zip 2.If you have Core Patch 1 installed, download http://download.renguard.com/cp2/cp2.zip otherwise download http://download.renguard.com/cp2/patchall.zip 3.Unzip both zip files into your renegade folder. 4.Double click on patcher.exe which will run the patching process. Should you get any errors about files being bad or missing, download the relavent file from here: http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/Always2.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Canyon.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_City.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_City_Flyin g.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Complex.zi p http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Field.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_FieldTS.zi p http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Hourglass. zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Islands.zi p http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Mesa.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Snow.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Under.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Volcano.zi p http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Walls.zip http://download.renguard.com/cp2/mixfiles/C&C_Walls_Flyi ng.zip If you are running RenGuard, Core Patch 2 will install the The First Decade exe file in place of your current game2.exe file (it is both a No-CD and an official exe file). If you are not running RenGuard, you will end up with game.exe being your current game.exe and game2.exe being the The First Decade exe file. If you wish to use the TFD exe file, delete game.exe and rename game2.exe to game.exe. Otherwise, delete game2.exe (if you want to keep your current exe file). SERVER SIDE For linux servers with Core Patch 1 already installed (i.e. brenbot, proper LFDS binary etc), download and run this http://download.renguard.com/cp2/sscp2.run (its a shell script with a TGZ file on the end) For linux server without Core Patch 1, download and run this http://download.renguard.com/cp2/sscp2all.run For windows servers with Core Patch 1 already installed, download and run this http://download.renguard.com/cp2/sscp2w.exe For windows servers without Core Patch 1, download and run this http://download.renguard.com/cp2/sscp2allw.exe The linux installer uses makeself to make the installer and the windows installer uses Nullsoft Installer (since its my first time with Nullsoft, hopefully I got everything right)
Re: non-renguard download-and-install CP2 is now available
Thanks! It worked perfectly for me.
Re: non-renguard download-and-install CP2 is now available(+ map downloads)
im confused this is not working for me can you give more detailed steps because im not smart when it comes to computers anyways like how do u make a renegade file where do u put the files that u download please include those steps along with downloading steps thanks its just im not very good with this stuff cuz this is really confusing me ( i dont even no what core patch is i just when renguard to work so ppl arent cheating and so i can play on renegade online) cuz i have to fix this core patch thing in order for renguard to work ( i think) and so yah please help me thanks again
Ko im not to smart so... I downloaded the patch and unziped it into the renegade folder but when i click it it wants to open it with adobe but adobe cant read it. and i dont know what to do.
You need to run the patcher.exe from http://download.renguard.com/cp2/patcher.zip once you have everything extracted to your Renegade directory, and not the RTP file.
Ok thanks for the help but now when i run renguard it pops up and says this Buffer overrun detected! Program:d:\westwood\renegade\game.exe A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and how must be terminated. Now what do I do. Thanks again
Then join irc.n00bstories.com #bhs_support and ask for assistance there.
Don't know if anyone has posted this before, but= CP2 standalone MUST be installed AFTER RG is installed. Otherwise, RG keeps moaning "game2.exe already existing" and quits the Setup. So the CP2 has to be the last thing in a Renegade installation process, because it patches the game2.exe.
Hi i keep getting a messege that says that always.dbs is invalid or corupt im running win me and i cant auto update renguard to cp2 please help renguard fan marty
I downloaded always2.dat file because mine seemed to be causing the Old file error but now i have another problem. Renegade loads fine but at the main menu screen there is no font, its missing. The bars that say single player, multiplayer.... etc are all missing font so there is no way to click anything, Anyone have a solution to this? Thanks.
i had the always2 problem and downloaded the one from the link above then this came up. i was updating to cp2 through renguard
Is there a thread like this for CP1? I need to get the fanmaps, but don't want to install the Core Patch.
evryone should get this it is the best it work perfectly i am very satisfied with this file it works perfectly
most people on here already have it or have a very good reason for not having it, but nice to see some support for the work BHS does
I was successful with installing this patch after having to use all of the extra links for unable to find files. When I try to play the game though, it says I have to restart to finish installing the patch and when it restarts, it gives me this message, titled, "Game2.exe - Unable To locate DLL," and then, "The dynamic link library mss32.dll could not be found in the specified path C:\Westwood\Renegade\patches;.;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOW S\ system;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\ system32\WBEM;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND." If I click OK and the computer loads up then try to run Renegade it asks me to restart the computer to finish the patch installation again, etc. What do I do?
Sounds like you managed to lose the dll file somewhere along the line. I have uploaded the dll from my Renegade folder and attached it to this message, download it and put it into your Renegade folder
This is invalid http://download.renguard.com/cp2/patchall.zip when I try to use the patcher again. I added that .dll file under the Renegade folder, but I already had it, I noticed that the message I first posted about said that it was missing in the Patches folder of Renegade so I put it there too, and then it said another was missing after boot up so I put that one down too, and another after that (binkw32.dll and BandTest.dll). I then made a mistake by trying to move things along by just copying all of the .dll files under Renegade into the Patches foler. Since then I haven't been able to stop the message titled, "Invalid working folder" saying, "Set working folder and try again" after boot up even after deleting some of the .dll files I thought weren't there besides the ones It told me to add, and yes, every time I try to start up the game it tells me it's restarting to continue patching. AAAAAaaaaa!
my renegade does not even have a patches folder...
That's better. I just realized by reading the topic about non-renguard stuff. Well, I think I have renguard. Once I deleted the Patches Folder, my computer doesn't restart anymore (yay), and I load the game, it goes to some renguard 1.03 thing and gives me a message titled, "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library," with the message, "Buffer overrun detected! Program Westwood\Renegade\Game.exe A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated." Thanks for your help thus far.
Are you using Windows 2000, or Windows XP 64 bit edition? The current version of RenGuard is not supported on those operating systems.
I did it! I uninstalled renguard and it finally works. Thank you so much
Hey i just wanted to ask is there another file type of this besides .zip because i have nothing to unzip the file so if there is please post it ty.
I am having trouble downloading FieldTS. I tried uninstalling renguard and reinstalling it, but it keeps coming up with the same problem. I have downloaded the file from renguard.com (and I tried the link from here), but when i try to extract it, i get an error saying 'error reading the file'. Now what do I do? I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I have Windows XP. - Navalops7
didn't help at all. didn't change anyhting. didn't make anything worse. didn't make anything better. all it did was support my understanding that no one understands this problem. which may be understandable since this thread wasn't made for my particular problem, but i followed links from the thread about my problem to this thread, so somewhere someone has no idea what's going on.
CP2 would make my Renegade not run without wanting to Restart My Computer To Finish patch, ive done it over and over, and i want to know, is CP2 compat with XP..? Or is something wrong..??

when i press ur mss32.dll it said on my dap download aborted the file doesnt exzist on that web u need to fix that download!

Re: Core patch 2 manual download for client and server
Download the .exe of your renegade language and execute it. It'll find your renegade instance and update it.
I put the patcher and PATCHALL.RTP in the renegade directory, ran the patcher, and it said "Invalid Patch File 'C:\westwood\renegade\patchall.rtp' Is there any way to fix that? PS I do NOT have TFD, I just installed renegade, game2 and scripts 3.4.4
Maybe unzip the .rtp again? :-S Be carefuk: if u install cp2 after installing scripts3.x, you'll need to reinstall scripts3.x afterwards or else you'll get a black screen.
i know why because if ur harddrive doesnt suppor graphics and tick all the boxes it will stuff up ur renegade the scripts 3.4.4 make sure u tick the boxes right
benjamen123 wrote on Fri, 25 January 2008 23:46 i know why because if ur harddrive doesnt suppor graphics and tick all the boxes it will stuff up ur renegade the scripts 3.4.4 make sure u tick the boxes right It has nothing to do with your hard drive. It has everything to do with the fact scripts.dll 2.2.4 (or something close to that) is packaged in CP2, and 2.2.4 doesn't support the DX9 shaders introduced in the 3.X series. Please do not post incorrect infomation. When installing Scripts 3.4.4 check "Bloom" and "Shaders" only if you have a modern (DirectX 9 hardware or above) graphics card. Else, it'll just fuck up.
LOL I JUST GOT PWND i reinstalled the patcher and it worked rofl wel thanks anyway
CP2 anit working for me?? why not? It says Removing old always.dbs Then Error 2 Like Dis Removing Old always.dbs Error 2

As this is Vista: are you running the patcher in admin mode?
monkeylx1 wrote on Wed, 31 October 2007 18:51 I put the patcher and PATCHALL.RTP in the renegade directory, ran the patcher, and it said "Invalid Patch File 'C:\westwood\renegade\patchall.rtp' Is there any way to fix that? PS I do NOT have TFD, I just installed renegade, game2 and scripts 3.4.4 if you dont copy the dll you can get that and the renegade patch installer works fine for me, in game or even the renegade auto update in the start menu
When I try to run the patcher it just says... "Can't find patch file!" Yes, my Renegade is updated to 1.037 and no Vista for me, just XP.
I have The First Decade on my PC. I have Renegade installed with scripts 3.4.4 so is it usefull to install CP's?? AKA: Does it add something more beside new maps and faster loading (what already is done by scripts )???
It adds several other things. Here are the readme.txt 's: Quote: Core Patch 1 Introduction ========================= From the Creators of RenGuard, Blackhand Studios(tm) proudly presents "Core Patch One". CP1 is the first unofficial C&C Renegade update which fixes several bugs identified in the game. Many fixes and changes were made to the original maps including additional sounds, more effective vehicle blockers to prevent wall jumping, and other special effects. The much hated ability to do base to base attacks on certain maps has been prevented. Multiplayer radio command icons are now available, Obelisk powerup will be audible, seamless interaction between the Renegade client and the Free Dedicated Server will introduce server-side enhancements that make available the best effects ever achieved in Renegade muliplayer gameplay. The people who have been eager to play the best Fan-made maps available at this moment haven't been left out. Six incredible maps, C&C_FieldTS, C&C_Gobi, C&C_Sand, C&C_MutationRedux, C&C_Siege, and C&C_Snow are all available through this update. Gobi, Sand, and Snow were among several maps intended to be released by Westwood Studios, and through the efforts of prolific level designer "Aircraftkiller", they have been completed and made available to you. General Features: ----------------- Some inefficiencies in the original Westwood map files have been removed resulting in faster-loading maps. Version 1.9.3 of the custom scripts.dll by "jonwil" New enhanced sound driver files for Renegade (including support for Dolby audio) by "v00d00" Numerous engine bug fixes and enhancements are distributed through bhs.dll by "jonwil" BHS.dll for Win32 includes the following features: (some of which only work when hosting) -------------------------------------------------- A bug fix for the radio command icons And some fixes to various script commands so that most sounds now play for all players, not just the host, and other fixes that will enable more functionality to be used on custom-made maps (such as poke, stealth, and explosions) This means that if the server is running BHS.dll (or BHS.SO for linux) and the 1.9.3 version of the custom scripts.dll (or custom scripts.so for linux), the Obelisk will have the charge animation for all players and the charge sound for players who have BHS.dll installed. C4 countdown mod and beacon countdown mod by Blazer (localized by Laeubi) The server side SSAOW mod by vloktboky adds additional sounds that CP1 players will hear. New console commands for the Free Dedicated Server: --------------------------------------------------- - SNDA <wav file> - Plays a WAV file for all players. Host only. - SNDP <player> <wav file> - Plays a WAV file for a specific player. Host only. - ID <string> - Prints the name of ID of all players matching <string>. No string means all players. - TEAM <player> <team> - Changes a players team. Host only. 0 = Nod 1 = GDI - TEAM2 <player> <team> - Changes a players team without removing cash/score.

Host only. - DONATE <from player> <to player> <amount> - Move cash from one player to another on the same team. - VERSION <player> - Get the version of BHS.DLL installed on a client. Host only. New client console commands: ---------------------------- - EXIT - Completely closes Renegade Current WS Map Fixes: --------------------- Field - B2B through mountain no longer works Field - Removed bad spawn points for Nod (fall through the map bug) Volcano - Several VIS (visibility errors) fixed Walls - No longer able to drive vehicles onto the walls Islands - B2B with MRLS no longer works Islands - No longer able to shoot through tunnel walls Mesa - Unable to walljump anymore All maps - Weapons Factory interior fixed to prevent shooting through bay (garage) window Please note that we had to roll back to the orginal C&C Canyon - the fix that prevented you to get onto Weapons Factory had to be removed. New Maps: --------- C&C_MutationRedux by NeoSaber C&C_Siege by PinkBunny (fixed version, by SomeRhino) C&C_FieldTS by Aircraftkiller C&C_Snow by Aircraftkiller (from original Westwood design) C&C_Sand by Aircraftkiller (from original Westwood design) C&C_Gobi by Aircraftkiller (from original Westwood design) Troubleshooting / Known Issues: ------------------------------- If the new loadscreen does not show properly for, please remove the strings.tdb file from your renegade data directory. If your C&C_Canyon.mix map is displaying weird texture errors, you probably still have an older beta version of core patch 1. Please follow the instructions on www.renforums.com (cp1 forum) to reinstall CP1. If emoticons do not show for you, something is wrong with your renegade executabe. Try to use another renegade executable. You can find support in the RenGuard/CP1 Forums.
