You're able to keep track of your online buddies and find exactly where they are within Westwood Online (Renegade Only).

The following situations are coded for ;

Currently playing online.

If yes - "Playing on server : ServerName."

Browsing the server listings.
Chatting in a Westwood Chat lobby.
Locator switched off.
Renegade server is online/offline.
Player is offline.
Also, from recent testing, the application is already much faster than the buddy list you've been used to within the existing Renegade interface. One reason being that it sends/receives less detailed information.

Syncronize With Your Westwood Online Buddy List

One really useful feature is to download your current buddy list from the Westwood Online servers, you just choose which of your existing buddies you'd like to add, then add them!

Note: To use this feature, you must enter your Westwood Online ID, password and serial number.

Page Your Online Buddies

One of the best features, is that you can page multiple users at the same time that are logged into Westwood Online. Whether you choose to page a player or server - each conversation will be displayed in it's own individual window (similar to YahooPager or MSN Messenger). Allowing you to continue to chat with multiple people at once, with ease.

Note: To use this feature, you must enter your Westwood Online ID, password and serial number.

Extra features

The option to refresh the buddy list automatically, at one minute intervals.
Locate buddies from each of the Westwood servers (USA, Pacific, European).
Open a web browser to display Player Statistics and a Game Summary, by right clicking the list.
Choose to login with a regular-player nickname, or alternatively use the details of your FDS (free dedicated server) to syncronize your buddy list, send and receive pages.
Flood control has also been included as a security precaution, restricting you to send one page, per 5 seconds - this is to prevent intentional and unintentional page flooding.
Command Line Arguments

There are two possible commands you're able to send to the program.

/r - Refresh buddy list at startup.
/c - Connect to Westwood Online at startup.

To use this feature with any shortcut, the target should look like this:
"C:\Program Files\Renegade BuddyList\RenBuddyList.exe" /r /c

This application was made in VB so i think it will be very possible to do the WOL server listings VIA Renguard. Correct me if im wrong let me know if this is possible.
