So, I have basically illegal w3d files from the previous map that I need to delete. Now, I have no clue where this folder is..

The files were .ldd files and are blocked by default from a 4.0 server. Clearing your TTFS folder, I heard would fix the problem, but idk where my folder is.

It should be in the Renegade main folder, but I doubt it will work. Be warned that it could very well be a serverside misconfiguration too, though.

It is possible that it's located in:
C:\Users\<your windows username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\<some subdirs to where Renegade is located>

Yeah, everyone is telling me that it's in the Renegade folder, but I haven't seen it in there.

Usually, whenever this happens, I'd try exit out of Ren, go back in through XWIS and everything would be fine. But, the server had to be restarted and couldn't be connected through XWIS, so I had to connect through Renlist and couldn't find the TTFS folder.

I'll see about that other location.

EDIT: The folder was there. Thanks Stealtheye Thumbs Up

It's due to Windows Vista/7 UAC/virtualization. We should move the folder to My Documents I guess.

I would say that TTFS should be in APPDATA, I mean, that's what it's for afaik.

Fu with all that. Just put it in the game folder Razz

Disable UAC; solves everything.

But the appdata folder seems pretty obscure if you ask me, I could see someone stumbling across the new Renegade folder in my documents, but how often does a normal user look in their appdata folder? Although, as long as you guys made mention of it (preferably in an obvious spot in game) I suppose it wouldn't matter.

I still think it would be really slick if you could specify a folder, but if uac is the issue then I guess that wouldn't solve anything.

Thumbs Up

Please note that me hating at the folder location is not at TT but at UAC (if this wasn't obvious).

Well, I guess that would be possible, but anything like program files or whatever is impossible. Either way it doesn't matter that much, as the TTFS doesn't contain things you would normally need. Of course, I'm presuming that it doesn't get corrupted. The last bit could perhaps be fixed by creating a "clear TTFS cache" button somewhere. The screenshots and such should I guess stay in my documents.

Speaking of screenshots, any clue why when I press printscreen the clipboard fills with a black image now. Yeah I know it's a minor issue as I just have to get the image out of my documents, but it was kind of nice to be able to paste the image straight from the clipboard into msn or whatever without going into any folders to copy the image itself.

Although I agree that putting it in AppData and having some way to manage it would be better, I think just putting it in My Documents is simpler for now, and avoids people asking about where to find it or how to get there. Smile

I think that Windows 7 only makes screenshots of GDI (Graphics Device Interface) stuff, not from DirectX surfaces. If it worked before, maybe it was some different way in which it was rendered. As far as I know it should not copy anything to the clipboard though, because that tends to stall the game for a noticeable period, whereas the TT screenshot logic should be pretty much unnoticeably fast.
