You cant play renny at high graphics!!?!?!?

Says who? I'm currently playing Renegade at 1280 x 1024 with full screen and everything high (With Ansiotropic Filtering) less the VSync.

The obelisk looks good, and the crystal looks like strawberry candy. Very Happy

I'm impressed. It all looks very Nodlike and sleek but the only sorespot is that crystal. It needs to look shiny and menacing. Not rusty as Sir Phoenix said.

I play Renegade on 4x anti-aliasing and 16x anistropic filtering easily. Even in 48 player servers.

I play Renegade with the highest graphics settings and I get no lag unless SFPS is dragging.

I hate to say it but I think it looks worse than the old one. From that pic just posted it looks like a weird shaped party balloon, or a piece of red candy. Maybe the old texture was too exaggerated, but it was quite distinctive... like a piece of rose quartz with veins running through it. Obviously it doesn't make sense for the crystal in a state-of-the-art weapon to be really cracked and weathered, but maybe you could try halfway between the two?

Also, apparently the crystal is animated? Maybe I'm wrong and the new version looks really good, but you can't tell from a still image. An animated gif would be cool.

Sloth used another crystal texture on some early renders, once I am back in Brussels on Tuesday, I will upload the pic and show it to you. (And yes, I think also it's candy like on the last pic)

Or buy us all great video cards so we can actually play Renegade at that resolution and with those settings that Renardin always shows things off with... Big Ups

A Geforce 3 TI can do that..Renegade is more off a CPU hogger anyways. You don't need a FX serie or a Radeon XT serie card to play Ren @ highest. I'm playing at highest settings with a pc from 2002.

As for the crystal, by the time I look at it I get killed by it Tell Me

Personnaly I liked the first one better but maybe it's just the ss

I like the second crystal better. Not too bad except for that crystal.

I do agree about the second crystal looking like candy, but it's still better in my opinion since the last one just had too many scratches for no reason.

It looks scratchy in a still image but i think its a animated material affect that makes the crystal look more like a crystal if your moving around it :/ If you see what i mean o_O

Maybe we can get Sloth to show a gif or a video of it.

I think the crystal should be a darker red. Other than that it actually looks pretty good.

I know a lot of people who can. There isn't only the renegade community for coders.

Look what some guys did on quake 2 with the source code:

Quake 2 was a revolutionary FPS, its engine was used for many titles. Its source code was eventualy released for public use. The Quake 3 source was released recently, too.

Renegade is a mess. I seriously doubt that even if EA games released the source code that anyone would be able to fix it, much less try to rather than build a game ground-up from a beter engine.

Maybe the best building I've ever seen for Renegade.

Two things:

1) Whether or not scratches on the crystal are realistic or not, I think they look very good, so I say they should stay.

2) Those chairs are kinda odd looking.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

CPU speed? Cpu type?
Ram?(speed and type and how many mb)
HDD speed?
MB chipset?
AGP speed?
Type of geforce4? TI or MX? full reference.
Version of driver?

Then I might tell you what's the problem. As far as I know, my old Geforce 2 MX was able to run Renegade AT FULL DETAILS on a athlon 1333mhz with 256 mb. Resolution was 800*600.
