This will scare the shit out of everyone i hope, and then they all download renguard asap. These videos were made just recently and guess what: RenGuard blocks them all ...
cheaters are n00bs correct?
But the people who refuse to run renguard on their servers are even bigger n00bs
Cheaters 'do something' to get their cheats, either make them theirselves (as easy as hell to do that unforunately) or they look for them download them spread over all the net.
So, looking at it like this, in that way cheaters are more intelligent than server owners who dont run RenGuard i think.
I know exactly what you people are gonna say now and i'll quote it because ive heared that so many times:
| Quote: |
We dont run RenGuard because the server stays empty then.

No shit Sherlock! For as long as there are servers without RenGuard people cant be assed to download RenGuard because they are lazy asses with slow internet connections or an even more logic explanation is:
You can make cheats so freaking easily and the possibilities are unlimited LOL really. You can make a Medium Tank (or any other tank/infantry) do 10% (or more %) more damage to everything it hits for example, trust me: Thats a huge advantage... and guess what: You hardly notice the difference and people can get away with it easily laughing at all of you because they so called "owned you".
And the most funny thing is: RenGuard blocks it lol.
Im going to have to shock you guys before you FINALLY FUCKING FINALLY run RenGuard i guess. So have a look at these two videos shot by the infamous Cyberpunk as he calls himself on Renegade so sit back relax and enjoy this:
n00b cheats that are blocked by RG. [Part One] 25MB
n00b cheats that are blocked by RG. [Part Two] 34MB
Nice huh? I hope i scared the shit out of everyone with this, and something ironic: I hope people will start cheating because of this. Because an increase in cheaters seems to be the only way to get people to run RenGuard on their servers. Ironicly..
And: Im not talking to any server owners in particular here, im talking in common here. So dont feel as if i attack you or something. This is just the truth.
Seeya on a RenGuard protected server. And for you who refuse to run it:
You Are An Ignorant Idiot

Let's make this comparison. Door locks on a car keep honest people honest. If they weren't honest they would break the window on the car and take what they want anyway. Renguard on a server keeps honest people honest. As long as there are servers without Renguard there will be generally honest people that will cheat.
Just my .02 cents!

So basically, what your saying is, because I refuse to run RenGuard, because I like my populated server most of the day, that i'm a n00b? I tell you this. I don't take kind to cheats and cheaters. It was only yesterday when I banned another cheater from my server.
It's true, RenGuard does generally de-populate servers. Most people don't want to download RenGuard, most people don't trust it, most people just don't want it. I run it everytime I play Renegade, it doesn't mean to say that I play in RenGuard servers. Infact, most of the servers I play in don't run RenGuard! Only The Pits and the n00bstories servers do, as far as I'm aware.
You can't force a server owner to run RenGuard. Sure, you can bitch about it.. whine about it.. cry about it.. but at the end of the day; no-one cares! We pay for the servers, we run them, you don't. You can whine and bitch all you want about how sucky our servers are because we don't run RenGuard, but we pay for them, therefore we do whatever the fuck we want with them.
I have enough Moderators and Administrators both in-game and in IRC to run my server cheat-free without RenGuard. As I mentioned before, Moderators work in-game together. KoTPaine thought he saw a cheater, I immediatly checked it out within a minute of him questioning it (instant repair). Within that minute, I kicked and banned the cheater. I trust my Moderators and Administrators. If I didn't, I would probably run RenGuard. But no, hence I don't run RenGuard.
It's not the fact I don't like RenGuard, it's great. It's stopped the majority of the cheats, but the end of the day it will never stop all cheats available. But yes, the majority it will. People will always find a way around that, that doesn't bother me at all. Providing we keep our servers cheat-free, that's fine with me.
The only other reason I don't run RenGuard on my server is because it managed to clear my full capacity server (32 players..) in a matter of seconds because no-one downloaded, installed and ran RenGuard. I'm not going to force my players to download RenGuard, to be hoenst no-one can do that.
So yeah, until I don't trust my Moderators, I will keep my server RenGuard-free. I feel happy enough to leave my server without me anywhere near it, and my Moderators will gladly kick and ban all cheaters.

The reason I think its stupid to push for RenGuard right now is because there is currently no properly working SSC available besides closed source scripts.
MAYBE when BRenBot 1.36 is released, and there are no major bugs, you can do another push for this.
Not to mention the countless RG Spec problems that I have proposed to be fixed, and nothing.

It is their servers, they can do as they wish. I personally don't RG on my old computer because it actually does slow it down slightly in renegade. So just because someone doesn't run RG on their pc, or server makes them an idiot?

Relying on moderators to protect your server is like having a police force that won't respond to your 911 call until after you're dead. All the cheat detection force in the world doesn't stop the fact that the outcome of the game is already changed. That one vehicle he destroyed might have taken out the ref, which would have prevented someone from affording a Mobius... which would have prevented him from successfully beaconing the pedestal and defending it... every missed shot, every wrong step, can change the winner of a game.
And it IS my business when other servers don't run RenGuard. Because it's those servers that aren't encouraging gamers to download it. However, at a given time, only 10-20% of people using RenGuard are playing on servers that take advantage of it. That means that during the day there are 400-500 gamers who have taken their step to be cheat-free, but the server they like to play on isn't taking the next step to protect them.
There are currently 613 players logged into RenGuard, 150 of which are currently playing on RenGuard-protected servers.
That means there are 463 players who are playing somewhere else. It could be that a lot of your community is already using it and you just don't know it.
I have made a couple posts in the Renguard MOTD encouraging those gamers to try out some RenGuarded servers instead of their usual one. I think it's working, because the numbers of players on protected servers have been increasing a lot lately.
And before you insult zunnie, he runs all of the "FANMAPS" servers and pays a couple hundred bucks a month to run them, and he's had a lot of success with them.
It is no fun for me to have to take time out of playing to investigate a cheater. I have more respect for my moderators than that. They are back in the good ol' days when you only had to kick tank theives, general rule breakers, and people who lose their temper.
BRenBot 1.35 works great for me...
I'm the bawss.

I never at one point said moderating is better. I think when it comes to sniper servers, its pretty easy, but elsewhere it might be pretty hard. My point is the software is flawed, the system is flawed, and it doesn't even block all the cheats.
Sure, loads of people run RenGuard, but like you said, its useless if the servers don't. 15/16 players in a non-RG AoW server could be running RG, but the one player who isn't could be the one who is cheating.
The servers have every right not to run RG considering the state its in right now. Because when theres client problems, the server owners get blamed for starting to run RG.
