right, i got xfire, signed up with the name 'the17doctor' then found i could connect to rg servers using it, i though 'great'

bad thing is, it logs me in game as gtpfutura where rg has the name gtpandy, and i cant get rg to work.

anyone know how to get xfire to play in renegade servers with the right name?

Xfire interfaces with RG instead of Renegade, because RG overwrites game.exe, which is what Xfire looks for. Theres a patch around somewhere for it...

Although it does not matter either way, RG works even if xfire is talking to the wrong program...

Go to the Xfire directory, and open up xfire_games.ini. Press Ctrl+R and search for Renegade. Change all "game.exe" strings in the Renegade sections to "game2.exe". RenGuard will not open though if you do this.

it's not the problem with how renguard is running, as i'll start renegade perfectly fine connected to renguard, but when i get in-game, the server claims i dont have renguard.

The name on RenGuard has to be the same name that Xfire gives you. That's the name you registered Xfire with. I registered as "cmatt", so I appear as "cmatt" when I join a game in Renegade through Xfire.

login to xwis with the name you want to use, then close both renegade and renguard. Then relaunch RG and it should have updated to the name you just logged on to xwis with.

I am not sure how well it works at detecting changes in gsa names....
