Holy crap! I can't believe I made a new page on this OLD-ASS 2001 template!
Renegade X "Quotes Around Names" Patch
December 29, 2015
I love Renegade X. Totem Arts has done a GREAT job of capturing the old C&C Renegade spirit and modernized it into a new game.
One annoying bug in the game, however, is that if you don't use Steam and connect to a server via the Renegade X Launcher app, it puts quotes around your playername once you get in-game.
Of course, you could always bring down the console and setname to get rid of them, but that's annoying to have to do every time.
So I wrote a quick-and-dirty fix that should solve the problem.
How to use it
I made this video to illustrate it's use and give you a basic introduction.
In case you're not able to see the video, basically you just extract the zip file, run the executable and click the button. It's that simple!
You can run it again to remove it and undo all of the changes.
What's It Doing?
Well, basically, the quotes bug occurs because the Launcher is running the following command line:
UDK.exe sees those quotes around the yourPlayername and interprets them as being part of the actual Player Name.
So my patch renames UDK.exe to UDK_Passthrough.exe and creates a NEW UDK.exe, which captures the command line intended for the original UDK.exe, then passes it along to UDK_Passthrough.exe, removing the quotes around your Player Name.
