Commander System

[ExEric3]

First Commander system was implemented at Black-Cell.net Marathon - BCServ4 around 2003 - 2008 (hope I remember it correctly). Today we are bringing back this feauture in a new format and design thanks to TT patch. This feauture will bring new type of poll so everyone would be able to try this new system.

1. How to become a team commander?

2. Team commander control panel and your abilities:

Harvester section:

Team Funds section:

Buildings section:

Messages sections:

General Help and Commands:

Team Commander orders are checked against bad words filter and they wouldn't be sent. Also they are logged for moderation purposes by RC staff members so do not try abuse it and enjoy this new feauture. Screenshots are just for preview purposes. Final settings can be different or can be changed later.

Will be installed on friday at 2.10.2026 or at least im planning it.

Thanks team. I do kind of remember this from 2008 or so. Fun to see how it worked this weekend.

Was that EvilWhiteDragon (EWD) that implemented it? I remember meeting him a long time ago in Belgium. Hope he is keeping well today.

EWD and WD are two different persons. EWD was from BlackIntel and WD was in Black-Cell.net. Both dudes worked later at TT patch. Funny part is most people think we coppied it from RenX. But real first commander system comes from years which I mentioned above.

Update 1 - will be installed between 12.10. - 18.10.2026

1. Inactive RC staff members would be removed from active commander status mainly when moderator is AFK for multiple games - issues with drunked Robert :

2. Added close buttons at team commander control panel:

3. Added chat command so you can now utilise team commander pannel over keys.cfg file:

If you are tired from typing !tcpanel you can now add new entry into your keys.cfg which is placed at your renegade directory at documments: C:\Users\your_name_of_profile\Documents\Renegade\Client\ find there keys.cfg and open it over notepad or your favorite text editor and place there this string:

CommanderPanel=Backslash_Key

Then in a game over options - extended options you can change your key bind to your favorite key:

I'm not planning distribute this file over packages due issues with other servers.

4. Automatic topup from teamfunds:

When there isn't any commander and teamfund is filled with some amount of credits server will distribute these credits to players based on specific settings like map is running already for specific time, amount of credits in teamfund, when happened latest donation from teamfund.

CommanderAutoTopUpEnabled=1 - enabled function
CommanderAutoTopUpMinMapTimeSeconds=1800 - after 30 mins of map time it will be activated
CommanderAutoTopUpMinFund=5000 - minimum amount of credits in team fund
CommanderAutoTopUpIntervalSeconds=300 - every 5 mins checks after activation

Suggestion: You can build a system where the system will ask "A vote is on progress to make the team commander of GDI/NOD" and then u will type "!vote (player's name)" such as, !vote TaswarOp or !TaswarOp because sometimes, people forget or dont even know about the team commander thing
