C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
hey everybody. i have started my own server called zukkov's pleasure palace. beginning at 7:30 pm this evening i'm going to put a password on it. i hate to do that, but i'd like to get in some games with some of you guys that post on this forum alot. if you want the pw, email me at the address below, and i'll send it to ya. special invitations to particlenoun and stonerook. anyway, hope to see you on the battlefield! rhendricks@hot.rr.com
I've been playing for a while now and have as of yet been unable to figure out exactly how invisible the black hands and stealth tanks are. Are they always visible, just as shimmery blue stuff? So that they can only be seen from close up? Can you see them better when they move? Thanks
When your nod, you can plainly see "Stealth" (man or tank) When GDI ,it's "harder" to see either when there is distance . Upon firing your weapon you will uncloak and be visible for a brief time to both sides.
about what i thought, thanks
The check is in the mail.
by the way, that's 7:30 central time, 8:30 eastern, 6:30 mountain, and 5:30 pacific. lol...
to all who participated in tonight's first ever tac&strat forum game, i thank you for showing up! wish we had had more participants, but i'm hoping it will grow to become one of the servers where true gamers want to play. unfortunately i only have cable, so 14 is my limit without some serious lag problems. anyway, if you're interested in playing, please holler at me on my email as posted above. hope to see more of you next time!!
the stealth troop is hard to see, only if he bumps into you going around a corner will you usally see him. But the stealth tank is a whole other story, i never get ran over by a stealth tank becuase you can see them from quite a distance away, i feel it ruins the whole point of being a stealth tank.
Zukk, sorry I didn't play tonight. Mostly likely it'll be on fri and sat's. Look forward to playing.
Great games --- was fun to play with team players --- everyone did what they needed to do -- and was virtually lag free! look foward to playing again... or dying again as the case maybe.... And thank you for all the players that were on -- i enjoyed serving/dying with you! Long Live Nod -- no wait GDI -- no wait.... [ April 15, 2002: Message edited by: StoneRook ]
I find this really amazimg...but... On some masp when GDI is homing in their attack - I can sneak a stealth tank through the barrage of Mammoths, even bumping into the Vehicles, and then get to their base and burn it all to hell
Yes that is a good strategy but the Stealth Tanks speed and maneuvrability are quite low. A good strategy is to use them to ambush. A mobile artillery will be also a good addition.
Yes that is a good strategy but the Stealth Tanks speed and maneuvrability are quite low. A good strategy is to use them to ambush. A mobile artillery will be also a good addition. It is wrong that most of peole are using the Stealth tank for only direct approaches such us assaults because of their firepower.
Uhhhhh.... what I MEANT to say was I'm sorry I didn't get a CHANCE to play.... looking back at that message sounds like I'm appoligizing for not gracing your sever with my presence: "Dude, you told me THE Particle Noun was gonna show up tonight...." "Don't worry many, he'll be here, he'll come, I know it..." "That's it, I'm outta here. Your such a liar Zukkov...I knew he'd never show up, not on YOUR server...come one guys"
zukkov and StoneRook: Appreciate the game, though I need some payback guys...eh eh Really hope to do it again...
I like using Stealth Tanks as a "car" to get to my sniper spots, because watching snipers are less likely to notice a Stealth Tank then, for instance, a Light Tank or Buggy.
update: so far 9 players have the pw. most i know from the boards, a couple i don't. one said he was busy for the next couple of weeks, but would play as soon as he could. of course i understand your situation particle dude. hope to see you this weekend!
You know it! And, the first week in May, I'll be takin' a week of work and STAYIN' HOME!!! This will be my first vacation where I don't split somewhere, and I'm really looking forward to clockin' in some serious Renegade time. You can be sure I'll check in first with Zuk's Pleasure Palace. (and, if anyone who has the password, or gets the password in the future, likes late night/early early morning games, let me know....I'm always itchin' to play at around 2am mon-thur (EST) after I get home from work!!)
well tonight's game was at first for laughs. it was just danzigger(you don't know him, but he plays alot), stoney and i. we started on fields and everybody bought vehicles so we could take pics of stoney's used tank lot. lol.. then stoney's bro joined in(trixter), and we had a buggy race on volcano. it was fun. i tried to cheat and take a short cut on the course, but was foiled by the harvy coming into base. lol.. then i decided to remove the pw so other players could join and it was a fun game, though it got a bit "warpy" at times. still though, it was fun destroying the nod base. when it got down to the HON, their last building, it was very tough to destroy, despite have at least 2 mammies and 2 mediums pounding away. i think the game would still be going, but the noddies started coming out of the building, trying to destroy our tanks. it finally fell and we called it a night.... please don't be shy about emailing me if you're interested in playing on the server! zukkov
[/raises hand] I'm in, with another server available to add width. Email on its way.
I want in too. i dont post much but i can play pretty good. Drew547
hmmm...stealth units...sometimes the sun reflects the ripples on ur cloaking machine...so...when u get about 8ft in range to the enemy unit...the enemy unit will c u...so be careful...also...if the stealth unit gets shot...even by its own team...it will reveal the ripples...that's why like in c&c_island...i always walk in the tunnels while i shoot my auto pistol...it has infinite ammo and everything...though sometimes u miss u have a 85\% chance of hitting the blackhand...

StoneRook Wasn't that fun? You toasted me several times as I recall...
Yep -- was the best fun -- good teammates --- makes all the difference in the world.... [ April 15, 2002: Message edited by: StoneRook ]
I sended you a request today.
great! come on fellas, join in on the fun. so far there are 12 of us with the pw. i'd like to have about 20 names or so on the roster to keep the server filled most nights. wish i could have a bigger server, but cable just won't handle more than 14 and i'm probably stretching it a bit at that.
Zukkov -- Great games last night-- got my head handed to me.... VBG PN -- On Fridays - i can play at 2 am --- i might be a zombie though.....
2 AM is a good hour to play
I see that you're quite a lose cannon my friend. Even if I play mostly GDI i prefer a more cunning and stealthy approach (cloacked or not). But that's just my humble opinion.
quote: On Fridays - i can play at 2 am --- i might be a zombie though..... Zombies make good pistol practice!!! I'm at my best at this hour, uhhhh, except for Fridays, because I don't work Fridays, so I usually play in the afternoon (the only thing good about 10hr days is that I get 3 day weekends....) Both you and Zukk will probably be getting mre requests now that the forum game is over.....
Particle Noun Good point about the part with WOL servers being down and people wanting to join Zukks'server....
I haven't tried it myself, but if your a stealh hand and in the field, you can remain undiscovered. Granted you can't do any damage, but if you wait for the enemy to repair their tank, you can hop in and run them over. I had it happen to me a few times and it made me real mad .I then started firing in random places to uncover the cloaked b@st</a@rds..." target="_blank">>@rds...
Yeah --- that is a shame they took it down -- i know they put alot of time and money into it. (I put some into mine- it's running on a dedicated windows 2000 server - and that is all it does in life - host Renegade.) I had no real problems on their server - and i had fun playing on it. I hope they reconsider.
They have reconsidered, and it will be back up eventually. I think they are just trying to find tune the "membership" so to speak. I don't know why, but the treatment those two have recieved (god help me for mentioning it, but especially from ACK) just makes me furious. I have no personaly investment in it, so I don't know why I'm so ****ed...I just hate to see good guys given a hard time by @ssholes. Still, I'll be lookin' up Stonerook and Zukkov as often as I can
Agree...
i never played on the wol server for 2 reasons. 1) i never felt qualified as a gamer. i thought it was for the top dogs to play on. 2) i was too lazy to go to their website and get the password. lol.. anyway, it's a shame they shut it down. hope it returns bigger and better than ever with really good team play and lots of fun for everybody! i just want to add that while i certainly don't expect players on my server to be top dogs, i seriously encourage team play and communication with their team mates. update. there are now 15 players including myself with the pw. i would like to give it to maybe 5 or 10 more and see if that will keep the server filled most of the time. it's still early yet and when there's not enough to do that, i will turn off the pw for general players. i'm also considering bringing the max players down to 12 instead of 14, so please give me feedback either by email or on this thread as to how the server is performing... zukkov
Zukk, Your tireless dedication to Base D, and your constant willingness to pitch in, listen, learn, and participate are all that you need to qualify on the WOL Forum game. I think you should check it out, as you're just the sort of person that belongs there. Besides, some of the "great" players turned out to be d1cks, so, it's probably better not to have the best players on that server.
you make me blush once again particle dude. i do like base D, but when danzig and i hook up by phone, we usually go out on the offensive. he has no patience for base defense. i don't feel too bad about it though, we usually do pretty well. we can communicate extremely well and concentrate our efforts on a single task. when we're on opposite teams, we tend to do our own thing. i play base D and he still goes out on the offensive, or buys a sniper. he's pretty good at it. anyway, i do like to be a team player! thanks pn...
Sometimes the best Defense is a good offense..... No one can sit at home forever.... You've more than paid your Defensive Karma Debt, so you should feel free to "renegade" when you feel the urge. That's a great idea about communicating by phone...it would make it so much easier to coordinate. I wish there were a better chat system for this game. I don't know what it would be, but it could be better somehow....
Once again Zukkov -- excellent game tonight! but as soon as you take off the password --all the non-team members come on and run around like chickens with /head removed. "Will they never learn???" But -- once word gets around -- the team players will start to come to your server... in greater numbers than 4! Also - dont sell yourself short --- you handled yourself in the games like a pro -- handed me my DOA papers enough times...! csmyu - crush2015 - mdc82 - nice to play with you --- send me email at stonerook1@hotmail.com and we can set up some games on the server i host....
Momentum..I like it! A backup/alternative game server is now available, in case of problems or overflow - or if players want to just tool around and experiment etc. The settings are the same as zukkov's, including the password For the moment, don't bother asking me for it. Reason being a) the idea's not my baby b) I'm on the other side of the planet to most N.American players so replies might get delayed The host is a dedicated Win2K machine, running a Duron 900 on cable. Although the game is on USA server (auto), the physical location is Hong Kong, so I don't know just how well it will perform. Player limit is set to 20 right now, but if it will improve playability, that can be reduced. I'm also planning to set up same or similar on GameSpy. Constructive comments always appreciated at my profile email. Have fun.

Stone I came back after a while and immediatley noticed this. I'm glad I wasn't imagining that. There was absolutely no sense of direction or purpose. I hope the password comes back on...I need the practice... [ April 16, 2002: Message edited by: lenchmob ]
thanks for the gaming zukk...had a good time..look forward to more.
lenchmob, i turned off the pw only because there just weren't enough players to have a fun game(and stoney said to, so blame him! lol). i will continue to do so until the server is kept busy with say at least 4 on 4 or higher. i'm hoping by this weekend, we can have a really fun game going with the server maxed out most of the time. and a special thanks to squiddly for setting up another server with the same specs and pw. it would be great to have them both filled up with gamers that love to play as a team! cya on the battlefield gents!
Better be a d@mn spot with my name on it this weekend! I'm gonna teach you all a thing or to about dyin'.... I'll show you more deaths then you'd ever thought you'd see in your own lifetime.... You'll see deaths so gruesome, so sudden, you'll be gasping in terror.... and then when I get done dying, maybe I'll be able to kill some of you too.....
zukkov Understood it's all in fun. csmyu You toasted my rear numerous times, great game, and payback is comin.... stonerook I owe you man, payback is going to be sweet.... [ April 16, 2002: Message edited by: lenchmob ]
Yeah I emailed Zukkov my names rmxtorch and I have been wanting to play a good game... is it laggy at all?
Just got out of playing (password was dissabled), had lots of fun but the lag was horrid, 3 out of 4 flame rushes we had we foiled by the lag, but still fun non the less. ^^
Endlessly Maybe it was the remote server (am I saying that right?) dunno but the lag disappeared over time. Good game though, couple of times it was tense...eh eh
If you damage a stealth unit, you'll also see the shimmering blue. If you know that there is a stealth tank nearby, shooting at the ground with a tank (or artillery) will usually reveal their shimmering blue self.
well if the lag is bad, i'll change the max # of players down to 12. hopefully the new fds server program will allow me to keep it at 14 though. i'll keep my fingers crossed! i don't know about ya'll, but i'm excited about the a/c and mod tools coming out. not that i'm a map designer, but with players like stoney out there doing em, it should be a blast to play on new maps!! by the way stoney, no fair creating maps with secret hiding places that only you know about. i've got my eye on you!! lol...
zukkov Can you compile a list of WOL names and circulate it with the password? That way we all know who to look out for online...
Yep - blame me for the game last night.... anyway - i am designing a map (on paper -*click* no update yet - DoH!) for you Zukkov --- will be a Base Defenders dream..... and i would never make secret spots -- wink wink... (hmmm - maybe i would... LOL)

(VBG) I die quiet......as long as i take someone with me.... (love the two bodies falling at the same time...) dang -- i'll be out of country this weekend -- but i see if i can connect from the middle of Mexico..... muhahahaha
StoneRook New maps and secret hiding places? Well "let's get it on".... Really it will be nice to have the updates, it can only get better right? See ya on the battelfield....

addendum to list: skwer1421 unit037 reminder: if you go on after 8pm or so central time and see the pw is off, it's because not enough showed to have a game. please don't give up on the server guys, i'm sure by this weekend, it will be rockin' and rollin' with those of us that like to play as a team. let the games begin!! lol...
Okie, heres my email. endlesslyending@yahoo.ca Thanks for the help. ^^
I played in it tonight but I got some lag. Not much though. It was a GREAT game!
zukkov Great game tonight, honing my skills for "future endeavors". Need some payback... [ April 17, 2002: Message edited by: lenchmob ]
LOL! I thought about that. I bet you every map designer is going to be adding in secret little tunnels and what not. I am exceptionally excited to see what people come up with.
just wanted to bump this post to keep it on the front page for awhile. i'd like to get some more players with the pw, so please email me if you're interested. believe me, you don't have to be a renegade ace to play here. also, i put the a/c maps on the server and took off the "regular" walls and city maps. the a/c maps are first in the rotation....
zukkov Outstanding, hope to see you in the games...
i would like to be added to. I believe we played either today or yesterday on some 40 manned server.
Nobodies sent me the password yet. Please people please, I wanna play with you guys. Spent 45minutes today sitting outside the game hoping zukkov would remove the password ( yes im that pathetic). So please, send me the password at endlesslyending@yahoo.ca
add me on there I play lots on weekends so i'll see you all then
hey gang! looking forward to a lot of you showing up to play this weekend! we've also added a few new members. StevenD cse-hunter nightaces one last thing to the whole gang. I GOT A PRESENT FOR YA! lol...

"boink"....
Yay, got the password now, thank you for your help. ^^
Eureka ! I found it ! I've even played on it ! But only with few players... It was fun tough. But i 've not seen our well known forum spammers ? Where are you guys ??? ps : on wol my nickname is : n00by1ken because of the limit.
so far we have 23 players with the pw and yet still haven't had a serious forum game. i've had to remove the pw every night. i was really hoping more would show friday evening, but i think there was 5 so i took out the pw. it was fun, but still a bit warpy. thanks to PN, danzigger, nightaces, and lenchmob(the CRUSHER! lol..) for making it a fun bunch of games!! i actually got an MVP in one of em, though i think everyone was just trying to suck up to the host! lol.. anyway, thanks everybody!! i'm going to put the pw back up around noon today, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that alot of you show up. also i'll be setting it for 12 players in hopes that the lag will be kept to a minumum. let's have fun ya'll!!!!!
Cant make it on yet -- stupid internet connection down here -- they have the game ports blocked -- have to work around... (BTW - in Mexico) Hope to play with you guys soon.... [ April 20, 2002: Message edited by: StoneRook ]
I've only been on a couple times this week due to work issues (the issues being I have to work ) My wol screen is csmyu.
zukkov Boy those were great games, it was weird though on hour-glass my comp just locked up. That never happened before, we were just starting to kick some serious rear as Nod. I tried to get back in but alas the server was full...I'll be back to crunch some opponents though...eh eh... stonerook Man you missed some serious game play. Hope to see you soon. csmyu It was tense last night and alot of good fun...Hope you can join in...
correction: i will pw the server around 2 central this afternoon. if any of you were looking for it at noon and noticed it was full and unpassworded, i aplogize...
Yeah -- rub it in -- i am "renagade less" now -- but more time to work on maps.... muahahhaha
well we had the best turnout yet in the forum game and it was very fun! as many as 10 were playing at one time, though not all night. the final game was a tough 3 on 3 with GDI finally winning on points, though our last building was doomed to fall as a beacon was planted and was just fixing to blast the HON as time expired. but still, there was at least a moral victory for us Noddies as we held off attack after attack by the skin of our teeth! really missed PN and stoney though. but there are some really good players on the forum and i'm looking forward to playing with you guys again! thanks to everyone that played!!
I think that best game was in islands, we had our barracks and they had their hon and their refinery. I stayed back to guard the base while every one else attacked. We got there....can't remeber which building :/, well one of em, then stealth black hand got into our base and placed a beacon behind the barracks RIGHT after we placed ours, we ended up winning by blowing up their base literally half a second before it blow. I couldn't stop laughing when I seen the gdi victory screen. [ April 20, 2002: Message edited by: Endlessly ]
Hehe, I remember in the last few seconds of the game, someone placed a nuke beacon in our base (we were playing in Walls). After fumbling around with my pistol for a few seconds and blasting the beacon placer in the head (I think it was a stealth hand, not sure), I quickly started disarming it, but the siren was already going off. The nuke was already visible and going down onto the building, and I had 1 block of nuke health to disarm....when the timer ran out . And to think i'll never find it if I would have made it
Stone, I can't WAIT to see your maps! Zukk, I'll be there today! Great games last night. Wish I could have played more. And you did deserve the MVP that time. We didn't LET you win. *cough* No really, I swear. *whistle* No, seriously, your a good player, start admitting it. You just try to throw everyone off guard by saying you suck! LOL!
There never seems to be enough in the pw games. The most i've seen is about 4 people in one.

[ April 20, 2002: Message edited by: Endlessly ] oh yes, i remember that one. i was the stealth that placed that cursed beacon. i didn't even hear that the ion beacon was placed, so i was literally shocked when gdi won the game. i guess that was you i was struggling with for what seemed like hours to me, before i finally killed you. then, just as the nuke was gonna blow, the game ended with gdi victory screen. man, what a heartbreaker! lol...
on a sadder note, i had to kick one of our members from the game. he was knowingly revealing his team's strategies on open chat. i left it up to the other players, and the majority voted him out. obviously, he was not a serious player and was just there to screw around in the game. i'd just like to take this opportunity to mention to current members as well as those that may wish to join us, that while we're all there to have fun, such horseplay will not be tolerated on this server. please understand that whole idea was to create a server for team players, all working for victory. also note that i posted a message of the day requiring that the first 2 minutes of the game is to be used for players to organize a plan, and then try and carry it out. we didn't do that much last night, but i plan to enforce in the future, when the sides are 4 to 4 or higher. just want to thank everybody who played last night one more time. great games fellas!!
Oh that was all the commotion last night, very interesting....
I believe we still won after that guy spilled our secrets though
quote: Originally posted by NightAces: I believe we still won after that guy spilled our secrets though sure, rub it in. i was in a medium tank at the time and had to stop what i was doing and play server admin. lol...
Yep we still won that one, even after wolf snuck into our base and c4'd (ate) our obelisk to death while we waited for him to be booted. Oh well, good times.
LOL! I love that Zuk has brought out the Ban Stick! It shows a dedication to the server that I really respect. Hope I never look down it's barrell!

well it was a pretty good night tuesday for the forum server! first, it marked the return of stoney from mexico! secondly, we had as many as 4 on 4 for a bit. not bad for a week night. i want to thank everybody for doing a good job of sucking up to me, though it really isn't necessary to let me get like 3 mvp's in one night. it's ok for you to play your best. no, really! fortunately, i had the right team mates at the right time for most of the games. i'm tellin' ya folks, if you want to be in some good games, you just gotta join us! for those of you with the pw, where the heck are ya? it's always the same group showing up. special thanks to nightaces for being on the server just about every night. you're a trooper dude! and i believe he's the best chopper pilot in the game, bar none! just one suggestion though. when you're in a chopper, and i'm a stealth, please keep a little altitude. on city, you kept going up and down when we were pounding the barracks, and blocking my vision. it's a weird effect. barracks there, barracks gone, barracks there, barracks gone. lol...
