Some pictures dont work anymore, i will update them asap[/edit]

______________________________________
First of all: UPDATE RENEGADE TO 1.037
Second of all: The best way to get RenGuard working is to do a clean install of Renegade as described below.
The reason for this is that some mods that you MAY have previously installed have irreversably changed files that
need to be in original state for RenGuard to work properly.
______________________________________
During your online games you have probably downloaded a dozen of new maps, skins, sounds and/or mod-packages.
There is nothing wrong with this really, but since most servers are running RenGuard in 'pure-mode' this means
that you are NOT allowed to have ANY skins installed.
The maps you have downloaded and installed into the Renegade\Data dir you do not have to delete them.
Just copy them to a safe location on your harddrive as a backup.
Same applies for any sounds (.wav) you have in your data dir, these are allowed.
To give you an idea of what files you should delete i made 2 screenies of my CLEAN install of renegade.
Any files that are in your Renegade and Renegade\Data folder that are NOT on the screenies should be deleted.
Exluding soundfiles (.wav) and maps (.mix):

/RenegadeDataDirCleanInstall.gif (Putting up image soon)
It is possible that some of the mods you previously installed or are still using
have altered the always.dat (or other files from Renegade) that prevent you from successfully connecting to the RenGuard network.
The only way to get these files back in their original state is
to reinstall Renegade as described below.
Now, if you deleted all the files from your Renegade and Data dir that are not on these pics and your RenGuard is still not working
i reccommend that you uninstall RenGuard, uninstall Renegade (and delete the Renegade Dir manually).
Then reinstall Renegade again and update the game to version 1.037 ( http://ren.game-maps.net/?action=category&id=79 )
then copy your maps and sounds back to your Renegade\Data folder.
ONLY your maps, skins and sounds, not any cheats  .
Tired of downloading the "new maps" everytime you (re)install Renegade?
Get the "UberMapPack" and burn it on a cdrom or something 
So now you have a (pretty) clean install of Renegade updated to version 1.037 with your maps and sounds you like.
Next thing you do is run Renegade and choose advanced game listings and Login with the nickname you want to be using.
Once you logged in you can exit Renegade.
Now you start the RenGuard 1.03 installation. The RG1 install will automatically detect your Renegade game so basically all you have
to do is click on "Next" , "Next" and "Finish"
If you did everything exactly as i wrote here, you should have successfully installed Renegade and RenGuard.
You can now click the Renegade icon which will popup RenGuard first, wait a few seconds for it to connect to the RenGuard network.
Next to start playing Renegade you need to click on the "Renegade" button at the lower left.
If the "Main Startup Window" wont showup, it keeps minimizing itself automatically :S
Right Click on the RenGuard icon in your taskbar and choose to 'Maximize' it, this will fix it mostly.

In case you share your computer with your brother for example and have more than one account in Renegade.
If your account is called PlayerA and your brothers account is called PlayerB, there are a few things that you
have to do before you can switch between them:
If your playing as PlayerA on a server and you want your brother to be able to play with PlayerB you must:
- Logout PlayerA from WOL
- Login with PlayerB onto WOL
- Close Renegade & RenGuard
- Restart RenGuard and then launch Renegade again and login with PlayerB
Have fun in a cheatfree environment

I have uploaded my personal copy of Game2.exe. It is modified with djlaptops no-cd fix. As no-cd patches are a grey area in legal terms, I must stress that this file is from me personally, and not a Blackhand-Studios release...in fact in all honesty they do not even know I am posting this
http://ren.game-maps.net/?act=view&id=332
Again, this is not an official Blackhand-Studios file, its just me trying to help you (and others with similar problems) out. I give my word that the file is virus-free and take full personal responsibility for its distribution, by all means virus scan it and do anything you would normally do to check out a file you download from the internet.

It is strongly reccommended that you do not download "unknown" No-CD patches as these may get you banned.
Are you getting any "<somefile> is corrupted, disconnected from RenGuard" errors?

Here you can download the original Renegade files.

When i go run the RenGuard it stays there on a white screen and give the "Its not responding" message!
What can i do to solve this problem? My Internet is Shared with my Uncle on a Network, without HUB!
It could be a FireWall Problem? If it is, how can i turn this FireWall off on WinXP SP1?

AHHHHH This is getting REALLY annoying. I downloaded the first one, it completed and everything. But I have no idea how to get it activated... It won't run. I figured maybe it was Auto- when you got on, so I asked the Host and he said it's off. What do I need to do, anything OTHER that Un-Installing my Renegade... Cause if I do that, I have to Install the intire Decade again... And that takes forever.
