Following the topic of, If you were making a patch for Renegade, what would you do? ( http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=27047&start=0&rid=2 3043)
If we all chipped in a bit, most, if not all people here on the Ren Forums have some skill at modding Renegade(barr few) we could make this a reality... And fix a lot of the problems currently in Renegade.... [What else to say, but feedback please?]

Some if not most of the things that really need fixing can't be done without the source code. Or without some really ugly hacks.

There are some really great coders here... Also, a lot of the problems can be fixed easily, mostly small ones, like balaning in maps... The Level Edit can be stripped down to several versions for mapping only, modding only etc..

The only problem is that we can't actually make a live Renegade patch. Unless of course we found a way to get Renegade to actually distribute it to everyone playing.

Because if the community made a patch, that it would be a mod, because everyone who wanted it would have to download it.. and everyone who downloads it wouldn't be able to play with the people who didn't download it.

I somehow doubt that... it's a good idea, but we'd have trouble getting it to the players.

The core patches are different. What the OP I believe is looking for is a balance patch. And that can't happen across the entire community of Renegade without EVERYONE getting the patch. The CPs are only available to download singly or through RG. There are players on Renegade who don't know what RG is and don't know that the CPs exist.

We've been demanding it for years...

Renegade Ressurection, Core Patches, Custom Scripts, etc.

Honestly, I think Renegade is just fine. If we ever do get the source, I'm all in for community patch making, but as of now, we just need to get used to most of the bugs.

I think what we should be looking for first before any balance suggestions, is a medium for which once the patch is completed, we can distribute it to every player that tries to get online without the patch.

That's already been said, for servers, try and get it included in the (if/when its done) next version (after its possible completion) of SSAOW or SSGM or both... For client sided ask RG to include it in the next release of that/patch 2.000 rather then 1337.

Well, nobody (AFAIK) would release a patch without testing, exept for EA, of course....

How could you balance them even more?

The major one that needs to be fixed is random crashing and RG not being able to scan fast enough(Has anyone that works on RG even attempted to get that fixed or a way to not let it launch till it's done scanning?).

Firstly, the costs should be realistic. The AGT is waaaaay too weak, and the obelisk is too strong. I can't quite put my finger on it, but theres somthing retarded about the infantry...

What if we made a total conversion mod that really isn't a total conversion?

For example, make it a hole new download like APB, however this would require Renegade to be installed (not stand alone)

In this "total conversion" it is basically Renegade, however it has all the balance changes, game updates, and things that we can all agree upon and test thoroughly.

I mean, if we get enough people in on it, like coders and stuff, we might even be able to add stuff that Renegade really needs, like more server options, and maybe even a map downloader. (We could make more "Official" fan maps.)

Including game changes such as things like ammo and what it looks like or how it fires (For example making the artillery slightly arch it's volleys to make it harder to "point whore" with) And stuff like that.

It could also be used to change some things in the game so that maybe some cheats out there won't work anymore.

I'm just throwing ideas out here... any one else agree?

I edited it with a better idea. Razz

Adding to what I said above:

We could also use that kind of opportunity to do things like weapon and vehicle model updates. Make them look better or have cool effects.

I remember Nameme99 made a model of the Orca that he actually modeled the fans in the thrusters and made them spin. As well as made the cockpit glass transparent.
