Which person do you hold the most regard for in the renegade community, the person you most respect and admire? It could be a person past or present, and for any reason that you believe to be valid.
Perhaps an awesome player, or a server owner that hosts your favourite FDS?
I had a rough idea of a short list in my head when I was creating this thread of who I would choose myself. However, that list started to dwindle when I recalled some of their other activities related to renegade.
I narrowed it down to:
jnz
WhiteDragon
Zunnie
vloktboky
Dante
StealthEye
SaberHawk
JonWil
Mac
Crimson
Olaf
Yrr
GhostShaw
Hex
It's pretty obvious that for me, that the people I most respect and admire, are the coders and people that have in my opinion contributed the most to the renegade community, and not got up to any other shitty behaviour.
When I started to try and define the value of what they have contributed I struggled. There's literal monetery value in most cases, then the value of code, projects, software and other releases.
If pushed, I would have to go with Vloktboky, followed closely by WhiteDragon. Those guys where ahead of the rest by light years at the time, and freely released their work to the community. The effect they had still has ripples till this day, and I believe they made the biggest positive impact.
Not only did their releases do so much good for the community, their ethos insired others and they truely left a legacy.

reborn wrote on Sun, 20 November 2011 11:54 | Liquedv2, yew need to branch out a little on your thinking. I'm sure you'll twig it soon enough, but you're barking up the wrong tree.
The map is budding with new ideas and great game-play, AitcraftKiller just has to get to the root of the problem, it seems to have him pretty stumped right now.
Leaf him alone, he's doing a good job. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say this map isn't fir you.
Anyway, this thread is really starting to lumber along, all this over some sap's map? I thought the game was dead, but this thread at least is poplar. It makes me pine for the days of yonder.
At the end of the day, life's a Beech.. Who wood of thought it?

There's a lot of really cool people I've met through Ren. Too much to sum up... But there's only few I met and got befriended with in real life, Refue11er (and his family), Wiener and LtDeetee being prime examples.
It's hard to make a pick in all the others. I'll name Danpaul, Stealtheye and Ghostshaw for being the most gifted coders I've got to know kind of well on Renegade, though I'll admit not meeting that many . Reborn as a good coder and the most big hearted guy on Renegade (he's basically begging people to come to him when they need help, hardly ever seen that before!).
CarrierII of course, for having the courage to continue a never ending job I started: making renforums a tadbit less retarded .
Then there's the many remaining community admins... I know what it takes to keep a community going and one needs to admire that, even though I don't always agree iwth their decisions on a personal level. Crimson should certainly be named.
All wonderful long time members of TK2, as they provide a warm community for everyone .
Some people I only heard of but whose acts have spoken for them, like Whitedragon, Zunnie and the likes.
Well, there's many, many more I'm afraid. I might add people if I think of them and excuse me in advance if I haven't thought of you right now .
Edit: forgot about Spoony... Would love to have a live debate with him!
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

If we can pick ourselves, I pick me for being the guy that first started custom code for renegade.
I would also pick WD and Vloktboky (not because of their non-existent coding skills but because they were the first to deliver server side mods that delivered features previously never thought possible)
And Saberhawk (who knows more about Direct3D and shaders and graphics as applied to renegade than anyone and wrote most of the graphics code in the scripts.dll)
And StealthEye (who is a netcode guru and made improvements to the netcode in 4.0)
Plus the other coders (Ghostshaw and Sir_Kane specifically) for their contributions to scripts 4.0
Danpaul too for his work on brenbot and on scripting for RA2:AR
Jonathan Wilson aka Jonwil
Creator and Lead Coder of the Custom scripts.dll
Renegade Engine Guru
Creator and Lead Coder of TT.DLL
Official member of Tiberian Technologies

Sounds like a good list to me, but I do not understand this part:

Non-existant coding skills? I think I am mis-understanding your meaning?
