Will this patch allow you to use any modified .W3d in your data?

I am still not sure about it, but I already think the answer is no?

I hope some files will be allowed to have in your data.. I've been making alot of stuff for renegade last years and released. Just like other renegade model makers/users.

It would be a shame if you can't use any of this in game anymore, but I understand you guys dont want to take any risk :S

If the server allows it, then you can run it, PROBABLY. It might be that we as TT team or anyone as server owner can create a whitelist for allowed w3d's.
I'll look up the thread where this was explained before.

If it is possible to check someone's files, then any server that does that should say "You agree to allowing the server scan your Renegade folder by joining this server."

I think it be a real bad move if you made it so you can disallow or allow files.

There are so many skins out there, no one will ever allow them, because they will never get around to allowing them.

Just like the renguard.

It's not really easy or something... Besides the problems it might give legally.

So how'd you expect us to check on cheating with modded w3d's then? Hell, some servers find certain skins cheats, and others do not. We certainly can't check them all, specially not if you expect us to generate a different list for all servers.

Can't you MD5, or some other form of hash, check files?

Hash checking is they way RG whitelists stuff I think, and that works, just not much is whitelisted, what TT might need is an army of trustable players to test a whole bunch of skins and approve/disapprove them so that there's not so much work for the TT coders. The trouble is the italics.

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

It'll be up to every server to decide for themselves how to handle this. Seems like a good plan Smile

There won't be a central hash collection so server owners can simply decide to allow models by adding their hash to a file (we will obviously provide a tool for that).
