Quick question,
I am right in assuming that all of the cheats for renegade so far use .w3d files.
Hence all map files (mix or lsd's) are safe to allow?
Thanks,
Gib

Yes almost everything in Renegade can be exploited using a simple tool.

They will be validated against known good unmodified files.

Oh, okay.
What if the server runs a map that is not known to RG?
How do maps become known?

We have to have them if the players are going to have them. The maps need to be publically accessible, as in, hosted somewhere for download like renmaps.com, cncden.com, etc...

If the server is running like C&C_Dumbass.mix and you try to join, you'll be kicked for having an unknown file. I suppose the Server-side client should check all the maps in the rotation and make sure we have valid definitions for those maps in our database and provide a warning to the server owner.

If it's just you and your friends, then you don't really need RenGuard running when you play the maps, right?

i think that he means that if he has those files and the server doesn't, would it kick him because they were unknown?
w00t?

urm... ok that sucks i have some maps in my data folder that only me and a few friends have are you saying were gonna have to delete em? 
how about have renguard move all the unknown files to a seperate dir when you join? a server for example if you join a pure mode server if moves all your skins to another dir and back again when you exit
