C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
http://www.Renhelp.net is calling for all the tutorials you can muster. So far the new and improved renhelp has added 20 more tutorials to it's database since it has made the move. We now have 3 video tutorials and I'm hoping some more of you guys will step up and make us some more. (Recon did and I'm looking at you IceDog) I would also like to mention that you guys have to be less shy about images in your tutorials, not one person has uploaded a image for a tutorial. It's there for a reason, don't be shy! We also had some issues with codecs, apparently not everyone can handle them so I am encoding all the videos to flash format for streaming. A direct link will also be present but it will be a .flv file, sorry but I don't want two copies of the same thing sitting around. That means if you are really super nice, you will encode them to .flv before uploading them Of course I will understand if that is a problem, not everyone has an encoder.
Do all the tutorials have to be with LE/Gmax/Max? For people making video tutorials, use Camtasia studio it can export flash movies.
Anything related to renegade would do nicely, we have a few photoshop tutorials on there but I don't know what else should be covered?
Well i was thinking about doing some coding tutorials (for renegade).
Nice, never even thought of that. Bring it on.
When i got Max working through the new Parallels (if it works that is) i'll be sure to make some advanced walkthroughs although i don't like my voice alot
Making and converting Texture's, Then adding them into RenX coming up.
i just want to thank all my fans and em ...... naah j/k thanks for adding my tutorial very happy to see that

Excellent, I'll be adding it shortly. and it's completely unfair that you have a cool accent.

Very nice to see this going on. I appreciate Renhelp a lot. Mostly do to the fact that i learned everything i know about modding renegade from there. Jamie

no worries, got it all from the index file.
I am currently rendering another one, then I will upload it. It is a more advanced version of that which includes granting other weapons and adding the different possible spawn locations. Will post a link when done =]
Want this one? http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/adv_wep_spawn/adv_wep_spawn.html I kinda like this, I might do more. =]
Want this one too? http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/maphack/maphack.html
Reborn wrote on Tue, 05 June 2007 18:01 Want this one too? http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/maphack/maphack.html Whenever you use a "s" sound, it hurts my ears... (no offense. )
bluethen wrote on Tue, 05 June 2007 19:03 Whenever you use a "s" sound, it hurts my ears... (no offense. ) I have had a speech impedament since birth due to a "tied tongue", I have a lisp on my "s". It has improved over the years, but I think the microphone makes it sound worse. I am exremely self conscious about it, and try to cover it sometimes. But when people notice and comment on it, it makes it worse, I concentrate too hard on the impedament and I start to sound like a hissing snake.

I like British accents

You'll probably love me then Mine's more scouse (Liverpudlian) though.
People from outside the UK only seem to love London-ish accents as they find other ones hard to comprehend. Sorry Merovingian
ive been in london
Hey! I got the better accent.
I made this the other day for somebody, this could come in useful for somebody else too:
Another http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/poke_buy/poke_buy.html
I have a northern accent (from north-west ) i was talking an Irishman from my guild (back when i played WoW ) over TS, and he had trouble understanding me lol
Good stuff guys, updated everything so far to the website and WNxCABAL I added your images to the vehicle boning tutorial with credits of course

GrayWolf wrote on Fri, 08 June 2007 01:46 Thank you so much for this one. I've never been able to figure cinematics out. No problem, glad you liked it =] Another one, this time only a very simple one to change the tick rate of the ref server side: http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/tick_rate/tick_rate.html
I wanna know too!
We use camtasia, I just applied different controls to mine.
if my word matters at all i talk to a lot of now modders and they have same problems i have heres the 5 things i think u should teach 1)Making Bots 2)they present buy (like buy heli on a map by walking over) 3)make buidlings (like on kamuix servs very usefull one) i still cant get it /; 4)add new presents or temps without map crashing on reload 5)more basic scripts on script zones i know u dont want to hear from me but just think about it PS reborn i love the cinematics one freakig awsome is there a way that instead of a beacon u can hold a single flare? and put ti on the blow then calls the plan to drop the paratroopeers?

Most of the stuff you can find out by trial and error.
the make buildings this is through scripting. The only other ways is through beacons (Which I have done before) or c4 (which I haven't tested)
lol nice...........can there be gdi paratroopers?
I would make some more, but the last two havn't been added. I tried to contact oblivion on msn but he seems AFK allot. Hmm, I might make a page on http://www.mp-gaming.net for them or something. I kinda enjoy doing these.
nice reborn ill be sure to check them all out but ya it whould be cool to make gdi prartroopers 2 make it even ya know
joe937465 wrote on Sun, 10 June 2007 15:38 who made renhelp.net anyways? The original was created by Laeubi and General Havoc. Havoc owned the domain name for Renhelp.co.uk (But left the renegade community and hasn't been heard from since) and when their host went down renhelp.co.uk went with it. Laeubi gave this link to reach the original RenHelp.co.uk http://renhelp.laeubi-soft.de I was a admin of the original and with Laeubi gone from the modding community too, I decided Renhelp needed a new Host/Domain because I had the ability to host a heavier website and I try to keep it as up-to-date as possible.

"I'm just usin' the X Y Zed axis..." I couldn't help but find that hilarious. These Camtasia tutorials are really nice.
Ya, i just dl'd camtasia and it's a very well put together program. Jamie
i agree ty best helpful site ever and me as a noob knows what ur next things u should add but ya very nice set id die without it
Here's one that shows how to add a script to the custom scripts (3.3). I made it flash (dirty, dirty people what were you thinking ) for you. Although, I'm too shy to talk http://www.dansprojects.com/Vids/AddingScriptsTuT.rar
my sev uses 2.9 the scripts most people will have to be able to do these thinsg serverside
I forgot to mention, that works on all script versions afaik above probably 2.0, server side.
u sure because this one serv have mods that only people with cp2 scrips or higher can see and its kinda like that
yup, that script will page the player (as long as it's attached to the player) even if the server runs any mod you want and the client doesn't need anything.
Another, adding a purchasable Nod Turret: http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/purchasable_turret/purchasable_turret.htm l I am going to start working on a small web page soon to host these, I don't know why they arean't being added to renhelp but i don't want these tutroials to die in this thread.
thanks reborn very good and usfull
Another, this time adding ai bots to the map server side. http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/bots/bots.html

Err...they have been up for hours
There are still two missing I think. I was just looking in the wrong place for the others. I presumed they would all be under the "level edit" section rather then mapping etc etc. I am still interested in creating a page for these, not to compete with renhelp, I don't have enough knowledge about mapping to do that, nor would I would to try and compete. I just think it might be nice to have a collection of them all dedicated to server side modding. I will still make them available to renhelp though.
Looks like I did miss one, it's being uploaded. EDIT: and i did mean to put the latest two in the mod section but I think your right about server side, it needs its own section.
Maybe a short description next to the video tutorials? The title just doesn't say it all imo.
Also, a non-video versio would be nice for those whom don't have 1337 connections. No I'm not on dialup or anything, but I knwo some people who are and NZ broadband is quite frankly shit.
Zunnie noticed I missed out something from one of the tutorials, I went through all of them and I infact missed out some important information for ssaow users. I have re-made and re-uploaded five of the tutorials and deleted the old ones. The tutorials that have stayed the same are: Taking a .mix map and getting it back into level edit http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/maphack/maphack.html Basic weapon spawn tutorial http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/weapon_spawner_tut/weapon_spawner_tut.htm l Creating a switch that can be poked to grant a powerup http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/poke_buy/poke_buy.html The ones I have redone are: Creating purchasable turrets http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/purchasable_turret_re/purchasable_turret_ re.html Triggering a cinematic with a beacon http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/cinematic_trigger_re/cinematic_trigger_re .html http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/clientdownload/Nod_Paratroopers.txt Making bot spawners http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/bots_re/bots_re.html An advanced weapon spawn tutorial http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/adv_weapon_spawn_re/adv_weapon_spawn_re.h tml Changing the tick rate of the ref http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/tick_rate_re/tick_rate_re.html Oblivion, you may wish to amend these on renhelp, also I still think two of them are missing from renhelp, there are eight here, but I could only find six on renhelp. Will make some more over the coming days... =]
I got 7* of yours on renhelp, the refinery was the missing one. Updating now. EDIT: Fixing number
Hmm, with six on there and you adding one that means theres seven, but I posted eight in that post, I think we're still one missing =] Are you going to re-upload the new ones? It's kinda important that you do, I forgot to replace the onjects file right at the start with the one from ssaow, and if people dont do that and are running SSAOW then allot of the features will be broken. My bad, but I have remade them all now and the new links are in that post.
7* typo I am updating them right now, with download time then upload it will be a a few hours. EDIT: Map Hacking Poke Buy Purchasable turret Server Side Bots Triggering Cinematics with Beacon Weapon Spawners - Server Side Weapon Spawners - Server Side Advanced Disabled them for the time but those are the ones in the database. (Still getting refinery tick)
reborn i tryed running the fix bot setup from game-maps.net but it keeps crashing any ideas? jus tlike u said to add
Please explain further. I showed it working ingame on every tutroial, so it stands to reason that the method shown is correct. Perhaps you are not following it properly?
well the bot fix files i put them into the rigth places and added the objects file like u then in lvl added bots and tank bots and rather they did nto show up or server crashes idk if its somthing im doing wrong or my pc
It's because you are trying to add vehichles as spawners in the same way the soldiers are done. This will make the server crash.
if u dont mind asking how can i make it not as a char usually i just keep what ever settings are already there
Do not derail the topic joe and make it into another one of your million question topics. This topic is about adding tutorials to renhelp. Another tutorial, this one is specifically how to add the obby gun as a weapon spawn indirectly through making a powerup spawner then making the powerup grant the weapon. http://www.mp-gaming.com/reborn/movies/obby_gun_spawner/obby_gun_spawner.html
Can you make one on how to "clean" the single player maps? Everytime I try to do anything to an M0* I get one of these: (Im using ssaow 1.5.1 also the co-op patch) 1. Renegade Crashes "Client 1 Disconnected" is the only thing reported in fds 2. FDS prints "Oblivion bought a GDI_Minigunner_0" "Oblivion bought a GDI_Minigunner_0" "Oblivion bought a GDI_Minigunner_0" Then the fds crashes. I would just like to have a sp map without all the nod bots/vehicles and cinematics in the way.
Just load level edit with your mod package (no level file), then go to terrain in the presets and click make on the includes and terrain under the m0* required. This will just load the terrain only without any spawners etc etc. But sure, I don't mind making a tutroial for it =] Wil linclude the basics such as start up spawners etc etc.
Yeah I tried that too, just seems that when I try to actually do anything the problems set in. All i did was place a cargo container down and it created those problems above. (This is just with terrain, no lvl loading) EDIT: and 1 gdi spawner
Very strange, you sure you're adding the .ldd and .lsd file to the right map? I will make this my next tutorial in any case =]
Ty, and yup. I double checked everything. Loaded M02.mix first to make sure the map is the on i am using in leveledit, then i add my changes via replace .ldd, .lsd
Here you go http://www.dansprojects.com/Vids/SPMapTut.rar I don't have a clue why it's so big.
