Various Game Fixes

[AZ-Stalker 88]

As we've seen through Open Beta 1-2-3, the introductory videos in Renegade X are a must watch every time you start the game up. It would be great if the devs over at Totem Arts decide to enable introduction skipping by some means (via the options menu or just pressing ESC). Ofcourse, a mandatory intro video viewing on your first game startup is reasonable, but every time? Come on!

 

Until such updates arrive (if the devs decide to address this matter) there have been a few know fixes which were talked about in CNCNZ's chatbox and on the Renegade X official forums, so I would just like to write them down over here so anyone having trouble can easily find them in case the info we stated earlier gets lost (along with any other cool little edits).

 

It's worth mentioning that this thread could very well be used to cover various game edits and fixes that arise and have all of them documented for furthur use at the same time with no extra effort. If anyone has any similar issues or can help enlighten the rest of us to such helpful new options, please don't hesitate to write down helpful info and small edit proceedures.

The following edits are for Renegade X Open Beta 3...

No Intro Fix
Option 1: Changing the value of 'bForceNoMovies' to 'TRUE' within UDKEngine.ini in Renegade X's game folder. (tested, found on the Renegade X official forum)

Option 2: Adding -nomovie to the startup line for UDK.exe in Renegade X in order to skip the intro movie portion of the game. (tested, stated by MPFzunnie in CNCNZ chatbox)
Option 3: Deleting the intro movie files. (not tested, would not recommend deleting anything, could possibly cause instabilities)

Change Name
The new Renegade X launcher has an option to change your name and that's you're best bet. Open up the launcher and enter your nickname in the above name change field. If that doesn't work fully (my nickname didn't show up in game for example), then try getting to the main menu of the game, opening the console (~) and writting the command "setname NICKNAME" where <nickname> is the name you want to have ingame. Remember to restart your game after that if the changes don't come up right away.

Any more small fixes we should know about? Post helpful information below to keep everyone informed or ask for assistance if you need help with technical issues like the ones mentioned above!

For the intro video. You can also rename your Movies to Movies_ and create a new folder called Movies this will also disable the introduction videos
