it ain't easy setting up 3 difficulty levels that fit every single player.
I'll have a go at easy myself, to see if i made it a bit too hard...

I've just tried mission 3 on easy. It took me a few seconds to find all the convecs & what they were holding. I made a little mistake about sending them on, so that tookd another one timemark or so.
I had my agridome running with around 250 food left, so i may have to add 100 or maybe 200 food to the easy level; the amount of food should be perfectly timed, so you are unable to move off to the safer building site, and are FORCED to build near the mine at first (as it was intended).

I'll have to test it a bit more.

Thank you Eddy-B and others. I finally downloaded it again and now it works. I must say I'm very impressed that we can do levels where we actually have to migrate colonies and actually have some kind of difficulty just staying alive. God job.

BTW, PS, having my evac destroyed in mission 3 crashes the game still (rather than failing my mission). I don't know if you've looked into this one yet or not. Nevertheless, I'm still quite satisfied with this piece of work.

There was a problem along mission 3, which sometimes makes mission 4 fail to load or load incorrectly. My apologies
I have left the current version online, but as soon as i get it changed, i'll upload a new setup (and bugfix patches) -- keep checking the website :)

Hum... Eddy, I know the food thing is pretty much marked to be just enough so you're forced to build in that first spot but... What kind of idiot running a colony wouldn't bring an agridome in an escape. I mean, the more they are thinking they are invulnerable, it makes no sense to do an escape like that without a primary source of food with you ready to be built. Not arguing about the hardness being too much or anything (took me 4 plays and a about 300 marks with just a command center to finally discover how to win the thing, in easy that is), just arguing about the logic behind the actions

thanx .. and lol :P   Renegades suppose to be harder than the original.
And about the food... i could have come up with some logical reason , like a convec getting destroyed before you arrive or something, but i left that to your imagination; i mean: i didn't stop you from bringen one from mission 2, did i?  You were allowed to bring 100 convecs and 200 trucks.. they justs didn't all arrive :P

I just got renegades, and it is very fun, in level 3 the game crashes every time at the same time mark in from my saved game.  Is there a tiem limit or sumthing to the level?

Edit: it happens after it anounces seismic event(way after lava flow)

No. Mission 3 and 4 are buggy. You'll have to restart.

I know about the bugs in missions 3 & 4. They haven't been attended to (yet). If restarting from a saved game crashes it at the same point, then the crash condition is already saved, and you can't avoid it anymore. Only option is to restart the mission, as Sirbomber sugguests.

As for the website: i don't want to be spending a fortune on a free project, so i don't rent a webserver, i operate one myself... I've had this software for years already - no problems (on a win98SE machine). Since about 2 years or so i moved all my domain stuff to a win2000 system, which haves my webserver crash every now and then. This happens at random intervals, mostly 1~5 days. The monitor for this system is normally off, so i won't know about it if i don't check it -which i do from time to time.

I'm thinking about formatting the system and just putting 98SE on it, so the server can run without a problem. As for now: just keep trying, i restarted the system again this morning :)


PS: as soon as there is again someone who can offer free webspace (about 20MB worth of it), i will move the renegades site to it.

so I played and beat it on too easy.  which was very hard. and It was a very good game and set up aside from having to exit the game and reopen every time I died at level 4.  Now to beat it on normal.  wonderful game. I cant wait for the next part(parts?)

Thankx Arklon.
I'm too busy with other things to get into Renegades again, and i have been working on those problems 9mis 3 & 4) for weeks without clearing up the problem.

s*** this is real interesting stuff. Bat Mission 1.

DAMN I knew I should have leveled that first area! And f*** lava too! Hope I can get to that pt in time. Excellent stuff.

BTW, how many stuff besides whats in objectives carries over to Mission 3? Cause for some reason I took a Robot Command Center with me :blink:
