About BlackIntel

Welcome to BlackIntel, home of the BlackIntel servers, coders and of course clan. Our goal is to provide a nice place to stay and hang around for everyone. We currently offer a variety of games, including C&C Renegade, Battlefield 2142 mod: First Strike, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Mound and Blade: Warband.

If you like our servers, you might want to consider to join our clan. We're a nice clan and are usually not too serious in life. :) We play for fun mostly, although sometimes a serious clanwar can be really entertaining as well. If you feel the same you should really check out the clan section of your favourite game here!

This site is also a place where server owners can get support on our C&C Renegade software or can show their appreciation. As you can see on the projects page we have a couple of coding projects running regarding Renegade. We hope you like them!

We made a whole lot more funshots and today we uploaded them to the site :).
I particularly like the "Lock view to turret off" section.
Go check them out here.

More console news

Posted on 26 Apr 2006 by StealthEye
Ok, the console had some updates again. It now is able to auto-complete commands when you hit the tab button. If there are multiple commands matching your input, those will be listed. These messages will be displayed in green to make it easier to distinguish.

I've also made a screenshot of the console, if you know how the 'old' console was, you'll definitely see what's improved. If you don't, trust me, this one works much smoother. :)

Funshots, custom 404 and minor others

Posted on 26 Apr 2006 by StealthEye
Ok, let's start with the biggest change: We have added a page with good and funny screenshots. You can see funny mod bugs, command abuses to get into impossible situations in the real game, other good screenshots, etc. We hope you like the new page. :) More screenshots should be uploaded soon, but as we haven't thought about updates much, the system we used isn't really handy for us to update. We're thinking of changing the system or whether we should just do it "the hard way" from now on.
If you feel you have some (potentially) good screenshot (or maybe even multiple) feel free to send them to one of our staff members. Thanks in advance. :)

Second change is that the 404 error pages have been replaced by site integrated error messages. This is to prevent the site from going to our host's custom error pages, as that wasn't really practical.

Then we have done some minor changes, for example we added the irc channels to the staff page for easier contacting us.

XWIS Query

Posted on 22 Apr 2006 by StealthEye
Ok, that took much more time than I thought, but the XWIS pages are working again. The avarage query time is 0.8 seconds (as seen at the bottom of the page), which is slower than on my home server (0.2) :(. Let's hope it has a bad day now :)
The advantage is that this one seems not to have a bug that we had before: a blank page would sometimes show up. I think that's due to the different way of connecting to XWIS.

Fixes

Posted on 21 Apr 2006 by StealthEye
I've done quite a lot fixes to the scipts.dll code. I also rewrote some systems to work better and to be more easy to maintain.

The fixes include the bug that all commands would be parsed twice, once by my scripts.dll, and once by brenbot. Now, the commands I made will not be parsed by brenbot. The main advantages are that brenbot is slow sometimes, might not be running or has major or minor bugs.

Another important fix is that the server would crash on any message with %s in it. Other scripts.dll bots may have the same problem, due to a misinterpretation of an internal scripts.dll command (Console_Output). My bot uses Console_Output for example to show messages to the console, which would fail is %s was used.
I have notified jonwil, the scripts.dll owner, and he said it should be fixed in the new version. I have fixed it in my version already.
If you want to test it, type "msg %s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s" (or any long string with a lot of "%s") ingame after pressing F8. Your game should crash.. :P That's kinda what happened to the server too...
