To d/c use either RenIP, GSA or Renegade Resurrection.

Renegade Resurrection has a built in server list, you only have to type your name.

RenIp requires you to know the server's IP and Port. Some hosts publish the ip and ports on their websites. Else you have to copy them from GameSpy list. You can also retrieve it by yourself, but I ain't gonna explain how hint:*sniff sniff*

GameSpy has a built in server list like resurrection..

I've never used it, does it really? I wonder how it does that without in someway a bot connecting to XWIS. That's pretty interesting.

It's not using a bot or something. Yrr just filtered the gamespy list and manually added the ip's and ports to resurrection. The only thing it will do is check the ammount of players on the server, if it's on- or offline, using resurrection (y/n) and some other things.

You can also add other servers manually.

I just gave you some options. If you mean d/c using the renegade shortcut, I don't know anything about that method....

i was thinking more along the lines where u use
+connect blah blah blah or something like that


Direct Connect:
C:\Westwood\Renegade\Data\game.exe +connect <IP HERE>

if you didn't know the full one it's right there Very Happy

you can get IP's off the server's website, admins via website or IRC, right click on server in GSA.

I used to use direct connect until i discovered Resurrection, www.icefinch.net. Resurrection is the ideal way to connect to servers. It also gives you address if you right click to the option.

The road I cruise is a bitch now, baby.

Admins normally don't want to give you the server ip/port. I always use a sniffer tool to steal them Tell Me

If you're hosting your own Free Dedicated Server, then the port will be defined in the server.ini file. The IP address can be found using an ioconfig command in your Dos command console. However, if you're running an FDS I would imagine it's on a dedicated server, and you would know the IP of it already.

If you're trying to conect to someone else's server, then you don't use your own IP adress, but that of the server.

Are you hosting your own free dedicated server, or just trying to direct connect to someone else's server?

is there any way to make my server automatically run commands at startup?
such as:

vlimit 12
mlimit 120

and is there a way to increase the server's max fps from 60 to 90?

The Server FPS(or SFPS) is supposed to stay at a steady 60 if it is under or above even by 1 or 2(usually if it is above it will only go up by 1 or 2 maybe 3) you will notice a performance drop or the performance won't be steady(won't be steady if it is if it is above) from the server.

He doesn't have to take a chill pill. You are the one who needs to chill out. We want to help people here, but you keep acting like a total douchebag. It seems like you don't appreciate it, and if you keep going on this way, don't expect any help from us anymore.

In fact, I won't help you out anymore untill you change your attitude. You're not worth being helped out if you treat us like a pile of sh*t.
