this may be what holystorm would like to see on "weird stuff" nights... forgot where that thread was hmmm

It's been awhile since I wrote it, but CamDistanceHud.cs from here is probably what you're looking for.

Wow look it's LouCypher!

It sounds more like he has mousewheel bound to switch weapon (the default) -- i suggest binding the keys to your script to keyboard keys such as up arrow and down arrow or numpad + and numpad -

ok bro, here are some suggestions:

make a zip file containing the following folder path within it:

textures\skins\
in "skins" put your skin files.

please give them a unique name, like RZ0bot2.mmale.png

make that into a zip file.

rename the file to RZ0bots.vl2

The reason:
I and others dont want to replace my default skins with any other skin even though yours are nice :-) no offense! Also, .vl2 is a nice clean way to avoid hassling people with opening up the zip file, creating a skins directory, dragging the files over there etc etc.
Also, associate your compression program https://www.google.com/search?q=%22index+of%22+winrar+corp&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a with the extension .vl2 for your convenience.

please make all updates to this by simply adding your skins to "skins" in the vl2 file, but not replacing them with newer ones this is not always the best way, but in my case it has made it so that skin updates mesh together and allow people to have different versions, but all working between them.

cheers!

Done! thx!

link plz!

Seriously though, I hope you enjoy and use these skins as much as I do!

Ah, thank you very much.

Perhaps you can help me out.

I'm a T2 player from back in the day (2001-2002ish) and my all time favorite script was a killscript that played this kind of high pitched "squish" sound every time I killed someone.  It's a difficult sound to describe, but it was like music to my ears... As a Heavy-O there was nothing more satisfying in this game than storming a base and killing 6 guys around an inv with a mortar and hearing my speakers fill up with this squishy noise.... I lived for the squish!!

Anyway, I think it was actually a pretty popular mod, but I'm having trouble finding it, or finding the right sound.  Does anyone happen to know the name of this sound/script and where I could get it again?

If not, this mod will definitely help, thanks!

Scatmann

its called halkillsound and its part of halides scripts

It starts
At first it complained that my game wasnt running the patched executable.
I closed the game, and reapplied the patched exe again.
I then recopied the dlls from Thyth's ruby stuff
deleted msvcrt-ruby190.dll again

reran, this time got different result when trying to retrieve account
"Credential download failed"

tried this with both my accounts.

same thing.

now tried to create another account:
first time "please wait as the server status is checked"
got:
"the server address has not yet been retrieved"

then

"the account server is OFFLINE and unreach...."

hit cancel

tried create account again

now the shit works and says
"the account server is online and connectable"

so I continue through the process of making an account
get to the end when i have chosen account name and pw
UE c0000094

tried deleting dso files and doing all the above again... no dice

open it again "your game is not running the patched exe"
im like wtf at this point.. is it cos i deleted the dso files?  yes.

MOTHERFUCKING BINGO!!! YESSSS!!!  YESSS!! IT WORKS!!! OMG THANKS!!!!! YEY!!!!!

well I guess lesson learned... use wine1.0 if you want this game to run.

THANK YOU!!
I really appreciate you confirming this....

Another question, will the client file need to be at the same patch level? or will the client file I got from tribaloutpost work with this version?

Hi, I think this thread

http://www.tribesnext.com/forum/index.php?topic=2340.0

should have gone here..  actually I'm now not sure where it goes as this is a mod so maybe it goes in the mod section too.. arrgh

I may need admin assistance hehe 

Cool!

Thank you for sending this my way.... I really appreciate your response.

Checkin this out... is this version 2.1b??? The file name is "Ren2bvl2update.zip" but I cant tell...I opened it but cant see version information in here anywhere.... (dso files -- wow I wonder why those were used instead of cs files... oh well)

So far I was able to find 2.0b
http://www.tribaloutpost.com/download/mod/renegades-server-v2-0b

Inside comparing both the ren_scripts.vl2 files, they are the same size, although the one I got from Tribal Outpost is actually packed 3 months later.

Through a process of guessing/deduction I am guessing this is not version 2.1b

Anyone have any ideas?

Quote about how to install from RLH's post on renwerx:

Download and install 2.0b Renegades server.
Update to 2.1b Renegades server.
This is an update that all servers will need. It will update your machine from 2.0b to 2.1b. Make sure you download the 2.0b server first. Extract this to your tribes2\gamedata\renegades directory

Got an additional reply from Brandon at Branzone. He says:

The problem is that we have been unable to obtain the Renegades server files to fix the problem.

Thank you for your concern.

--------------------------------------------------

Folks, Ive posted in the old Renwerx forums asking for the old files, and I've posted here as well a cry for help getting these files. If anyone can help i will be in your debt! I am especially looking for renegades "2.1b".
I did find 2.0b but that wont do....

On a side note:
It really miffs me that Renwerx went forth to work on ascension, totally changing the Renwerx site from being a place for the renegades mod to being its own entity for Ascension, and when that was binned it was like hmm yeah lets disable all download links to the tiny little renegades files.

I appreciate Renwerx setting a goal to make a new game, and trying valiantly -- but in the process they kinda forgot their origins...

I am happy to host these files elsewhere.. If you have them, please hook me up!
