Things have been moving and shaking over here at Blackhand Studios. We wanted to give you an update on where we are.

First off, Aircraftkiller is no longer a member of BHS and has been replaced with Laeubi as our official modder. Laeubi was a big help in getting Core Patch 1 off the ground, and he will continue to be a big help with our future projects.

Jonwil continues to be hard at work on scripts.dll modifications. Version 2.0 was released recently.

And, of course, Core Patch 1 has been a huge success. It has been downloaded over 15,000 times. The Server-side CP1 has had its "zero bug" problem fixed and is now stable and running on many servers. We are now working on things for Core Patch 2.

Work is also progressing on RenGuard 1.04. RenGuard has been experiencing record traffic levels, being used by nearly 4000 players daily. We also see 700-800 concurrent users during "peak times", close to 900 on the weekends. RenGuard 1.04 will include stronger protections against bypassing and a few fixes for "annoyances" such as the WOL nickname change difficulty. It will also run even more compact than before giving players less excuse to complain that "RenGuard makes [them] lag".

Finally, BRenBot 1.41 is being tested and will be released soon. Several bugs will be fixed, but a final list is still being composed.

Yay maybe no more using a registry shortcut to change names. Smile

When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,
First as a dark demon,
As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.

However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

Why?!!
Am I the only renegade player who uses a proxy?
Or is butting proxy support in RG will make it insecure??
Or do think you will spend a lot of time coding it and then
it may or may not work???
Or is it another reason?

I spoke to v00d00.

We're not sure how to do this - what kind of proxy is this? A http proxy? A Nat proxy?

Normally, to play renegade you need direct net (tcp/ip) access to play renegade. That is why we are a bit confused what you exactly mean. If you can tell us what exact kind of configuration you have, and give us some details how to reproduce that configuration maybe we can work something out..

I use dial up(ya i know it sucks) Sad
When i do the settings for any of my ISPs i have to enter the proxy address, its also called a proxy server its something like that:
proxy.******.net.****
then i enter the port number which is port 8080
Now if u ask why i must use proxy; its because my country censors the internet from unwanted sites...
For most of the programs i use i don't need to do anything to get updates or download stuff.. But some programs want.
Those programs that don't let me connect like ad-aware have an option for ppl who use proxy to enter the proxy name and port to be able to connect to their networks to get updates. Thats because proxys work as firewalls(not sure of that!)
I hope that you understand what i said cause thats most of what i know Smile but u can ask me for more info if u need so...

No i need it to connect to the internet. I can't use anything in the internet if I don't write the proxy and the port. If I don't write them it will connect me to my ISP only but from there I can't go to any place on the net wheather its a site or a program like realplayer or a game like renegade.

It goes like this: if no proxy then no internet, if no internet then no renegade, if no renegade then no renguard, if no renguard then... lol
you get my point?

You can't put proxy settings into Renegade either!

Do this:
in a command line
type: ipconfig /all when being connected

also type: ping http://www.renguard.com

And give us the results.-

Since I already have the proxy in my internet expolrer typed most programs don't need to know that they work fine like renegade, Nortan anti-virus and all my other games...
However only a few programs will need to have the proxy writen in them as well, for example ad-aware, download acclerator plus, Spybot S&D and Renguard.

Now i typed ipconfig in Run and a black DOS window will popup and close fast so i can't type anything in it!!!
but when i type ping http://www.renguard.com it says this:
Exclamation
Pinging renguard.com [69.93.155.220] with 32 bytes of data:

Replay from 69.93.155.220: bytes=32 time=390ms TTL=44
Exclamation
i think it types to other lines after that but it closes so fast

Do start -> run -> "cmd.exe" first, and then do ip-config

I think we can easily do http proxy support.. I think that is what you are refering to...

ok here is what i go when i do ipconfig:
Exclamation
Windows IP configuration

PPP adabter (name of my ISP, i wont wright it here unless u want me to):

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 84.235.**.***
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . . . : 84.235.**.***
Exclamation
I but starts inplace of the last 5 numbers. IP address and default gateway have the same numbers.

LOL I don't realy now the problem so i guess you are right....
But here is what i think RG does(I could be wrong or right i am not a pc wiz): I think RG is forcing my internet to connect to RG master servers before going throwgh my ISP proxy server and thats why I never get connected to RG servers!

nice job guys! Very Happy


I was wondering in the next patch if you guys can fix the "start" bug(thats what I heard its called) This has happened to me and a few other people I talked to on WOL. Here is what happens. I want to join a server andsay its a 8 player server and there is 4/8 players in the games so I click on the server to join it and it is totally empty it shows no players in the game and the start button is not highlighted so I cant join the server. Have you ever heard of this bug? Question
