You forget the players that aren't good enough to actually play on a competitive level and therefor use "hidden cheats" as I call them: cheats which allow 'small', hard to detect improovements of "skill". It's quite obvious these are harder to detect and really are to be pitied as they can't even keep up with the public level of skill/gameplay.

I have a lot more "respect" (maybe understanding is a better word) for those types of cheaters, because at least they are trying to win. The cheaters I truly despise are the ones that only cheat to ruin the game for other people...you know the type - they practically shoot a wad in their underoos everytime they one-shot kill a vehicle and someone says "kick <player> they are cheating!".

I beg to differ. At least they're easy to spot and delt with by moderators in no time.

the ones who try to subversively cheat to win are, in my humble opinion, the most pitiful individuals this game has to offer...

if you're so desperate for people to think you're better at the game than you actually are that you'll download a cheat to achieve it, there's something very definitely missing from your life

on alot of servers, good players are harrassed if they aren't running RG, and some n00b players will forcerg them because of it.


It really does depend on the server.

I play only on N00bstories and UN. Occasionally RG has not loaded properly. I can count on the one hand the amount of times that I have been !forcergd

Perhaps I am not as skillful as others and not deemed a threat Sarcasm

the only problem i really have with rg is the fact that i have to start the game 3-4 times to get it to work and not kick me in the first 5 secs into the game... thats why from now on i dont buy anything for the first 20 seconds i am in the game since chances are i will be siconnected. but after im in the server form more than a min im fine till i quit.... thats really why i cant play on n00bstories anymore since i have to connect to it atleast 3 times before rg stops kicking me... and by that time its full and i have to wait.
but other then that i think rg is great, i really do. if this issue gets fixed i have really nothing against it.

If you know who generally Mods the server then give them a PM. If you are known to them they will almost certainly reserve a slot for you. Big Ups

I've never been ForceRG'd. I mostly play a support role though so I guess there aren't going to be a lot of people paying attention to me. I also snipe sometimes but not enough that I would piss someone off by repeatedly sniping them and cause them to !forceRG me.

With regards to my sniping, I'm ALWAYS !forcerg'ed but lucky me, knows alot of mods, and they dont ban me.
I take tests here and there, and if I was cheating, RenGuard and Biatch would catch it.

Maybe it's because most of my kills are 1000 Units, since I tend to aim for them more.
Nothing hurts more to a team then to kill early Mobi/Mendoza or any other 1000 Char, especially a Havoc, who you see standing in the middle of the base, typing something, and you head shot him.
Next thing you hear-

Omg! Cheek Haxs Still!!!!

Standing in the middle of a base with defences...you get sniped...with an expensive char early on its very annoying lol

1)if you say you can get it "cuz of ur comp", you must be running on 8mb ram, so fuck off anyway.
2)it has SAVED renegade from dying a LONG time ago, the thing if most of the people who complain come from the same generation as the cheaters (not saying everyone is but...), so you have no idea aboutthe whole story
3)crimson should have elaborated more but in a nut shell, the REAL history:

a)people said (inclucding westwood themselves) that cheats for renegade are impossible and dont exsist
b)cyberprick made FR passing it off as a n00bstories product
c)ALOT of people were using it, no server side cheats detection, no renguard, and limited administration from IRC or even ingame because of the limitaions of the new bots at the time (blazeregulater.net etc)
d)the game game this close to dying because basically a server would be cheat free for 30 secs, someone with FR would join, ruin the game, people would leave etc, and you couldnt do anything about it
e)ALOT of people left during that time, the idea of renguard came about (not exactly sure by who) then crimson put together a team to code it, it took a while (9 months i think), but when it came out, everyone who had it ofcourse didnt cheat, 95% of cheaters were done, they saved us from lossing everybody

so basically, no one would be here if it wasnt for renguard, haters dont dserve to be here, go fuck over a different game please. In Love

We had over a year without them.

It was someone else, and they said I made it, not n00bstories, but close enough.

We did have the Server Owners' forum which was pretty effective.

It was pretty bad but we managed ok.

I didn't put together the team... I was invited to join it. I was the speaker/PR person because I ran these forums.

I know we have helped a lot, and I do believe that we did manage to keep a significant amount of players here, but there is a LOT to be said about the dedication and cooperation between the server owners of the community, along with other talented coders who make it possible to still enjoy this game after more than 5 years.


I'm the bawss.

how did people figure out putting an objects file.ddb in data folder gives u hacks? did they just test it one day and started a whole new bred?

also rg should be built into ren so everyone has to use it without crashing ;P

Anything you run client side is fundamentally flawed, it's the same reason DRM doesn't work, you place control in the domain of the users and hope they don't break what you create.

There's no way to make a 100% Client Side Anti-Cheat, and that's fine, just don't make out that it's 100% and I don't complain.

people who say BIATCH is all you need are wrong
people who say renguard is all you need are wrong
people who say good moderators are all you need are wrong

none of the above are infallible, all of the above can do stuff others can't, so the solution is obvious: use all three.

or if you can genuinely make something better, quit telling everyone you can, step up and fucking DO IT.

Wow, practically nobody knows that RR blocks bighead cheats, terminal hacks, damagehacks and netcode exploits. Together with BIATCH, I see no need for anything else. Very Happy

(I only just noticed this topic, but the first thing I saw when reading was people pro-RG ignoring posts where they got owned)

BIATCH does all that too, still there is need for more protection. BIATCH doesn't block anything, and RR doesn't block the rest either.

If you're ignoring the pro-RG people's posts, yes. Otherwise you would see it was the other way around. Selective reading ftw.
