Core Patch 1 Introduction ========================= From the Creators of RenGuard, Blackhand Studios(tm) proudly presents "Core Patch One". CP1 is the first unofficial C&C Renegade update which fixes several bugs identified in the game. Many fixes and changes were made to the original maps including additional sounds, more effective vehicle blockers to prevent wall jumping, and other special effects. The much hated ability to do base to base attacks on certain maps has been prevented. Multiplayer radio command icons are now available, Obelisk powerup will be audible, seamless interaction between the Renegade client and the Free Dedicated Server will introduce server-side enhancements that make available the best effects ever achieved in Renegade muliplayer gameplay. The people who have been eager to play the best Fan-made maps available at this moment haven't been left out. Six incredible maps, C&C_FieldTS, C&C_Gobi, C&C_Sand, C&C_MutationRedux, C&C_Siege, and C&C_Snow are all available through this update. Gobi, Sand, and Snow were among several maps intended to be released by Westwood Studios, and through the efforts of prolific level designer "Aircraftkiller", they have been completed and made available to you. General Features: ----------------- Some inefficiencies in the original Westwood map files have been removed resulting in faster-loading maps. Version 1.9.3 of the custom scripts.dll by "jonwil" New enhanced sound driver files for Renegade (including support for Dolby audio) by "v00d00" Numerous engine bug fixes and enhancements are distributed through bhs.dll by "jonwil" BHS.dll for Win32 includes the following features: (some of which only work when hosting) -------------------------------------------------- A bug fix for the radio command icons And some fixes to various script commands so that most sounds now play for all players, not just the host, and other fixes that will enable more functionality to be used on custom-made maps (such as poke, stealth, and explosions) This means that if the server is running BHS.dll (or BHS.SO for linux) and the 1.9.3 version of the custom scripts.dll (or custom scripts.so for linux), the Obelisk will have the charge animation for all players and the charge sound for players who have BHS.dll installed.
