Due to the lack of support and usage, Dante has decided the following:

Important notes, dealing with the future of the Evolution...

First, i would like to greet and thank everyone for your time, patience, and your complete support. Due to the lack of interest, lack of Mods, and total lack of concentration from the community dealing with RenEvo, we have decided that once we have completed our Map Pack and the Dead6 Xpack, we will say our last good byes, and kindly part the Renegade community.

We are not saying that we won't be playing Renegade, just simply nothing more that seems to be needed from the community in means of updates, patches, maps, etc... This entire decision was based on the "state of the community" that has been discussed on and off for the last week or so. With the exception of one server, there are no mod/user map dedicated servers. There are no CTF maps even being planned, TeamDM maps have lost there interest, and there seems to be no more interests in making anything "new" for the game.

REOL? REOL and its availablitity will be under discussion once we have a full internal meeting, currently, we will plan to put it up if WOL goes down. Until then it will remain inactive.

RenEvo Ladder??? The RenEvo ladder will be shutdown, never to have been released fully public, and will be available for sponsored Renegade Tournaments. Basically, if you plan to put together a half way decent tournament, I (Dante) will help you set this up, and keep records of it for tournament scoring.

Scripts.dll?? At the moment scripts.dll version 1.1.1 is the most current, and will remain that way unless any large script additions from the community wished to be added, we will not (unconfirmed) add one script and completely release a new version, i apologize, but the interest there has fallen as well.

BR .Net??? I will be looking and interviewing individuals to take over my work on BR .Net, i have tired of working with the code, and after a year of trying to read a text file so many different ways, i am completely burnt on it. The person i select will do justice, and complete the BR .Net you currently have, and keep it up to date. I will however, add one last update before passing it on, and compile a new Installer. I will fix all current bugs, without any additions. I apologize for this, but it is a great admin tool as it sits, and is what was requested of the community so many months ago.


We at RenEvo thank you for your participation, and for all of the support, i wish it could have been more, but you can't conquer the world with a spoon.

Regretfully,
Dante, and the administration...
