I miss playing, need help

[Brn0utB0B]

Hey everyone. I got a new pc and it doesn't have a cd drive. I do have Renegade on Origins bit I am not able to get online multiplayer to run with Renlist. Should I purchase an external cd drive or is there a way to run renlist with origin?

I don't think that you need an external cd drive. Personally,I don't have a problem running renlist with Origin. Have you downloaded the scripts from https://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/ ? You can try joining temporarily until someone with better knowledge comes along by typing "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Renegade\game.exe" +connect 192.223.24.250:5001 +netplayername Brn0utB0B  into target box of the properties of the ren shortcut file.

I bought renegade via Origin and it works with Renlist, but I use the W3d Launcher. https://cncnet.org/renegade

We'd love to see you back b0b

I bought a new laptop 3 weeks ago, without a cd drive either.

You can download the original disk images here (and thank mass for the link), in fact, I think only the installation disk is needed. With windows 10, you can easily mount it as a virtual cd drive (no need in fancy external programs to do that anymore) by right clicking the ISO file -> mount. At the virtual CD drive, run setup.exe as administrator (right click the file -> run as administrator). Install using your original CD key.

Patch with latest scripts, you should be good to go with renlist or using direct connection as Sheila described.

 

Edit: I just realized you have your Ren on Origin so I'm not sure if you have your original CD key to use this method.
