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!

Datacenter maintenance

Posted on 25 Nov 2008 by StealthEye
TransIP informed us that the power bar in the server rack our server is located in will be replaced tonight from 23:30 to 0:00 GMT. Due to this the servers will be offline during that time. We will shut down the server around 23:25 to ease the process. If everything goes well our servers will be up again shortly after the maintenance.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Brenbot problems resolved

Posted on 16 Nov 2008 by StealthEye
The problem with brenbot restarting whenever a player left has been resolved. It apparently was a conflict between the !rtc plugin and the version of brenbot we were using.

Short forum downtime

Posted on 10 Nov 2008 by StealthEye
After a reboot our forum database suddenly was not working. We don't really know what caused this to happen, but there was some error in the database login info. We have corrected the problem now though, the forums should be workinng again. :)

Problems mostly solved

Posted on 29 Oct 2008 by StealthEye
The problems we had due to the failing disk have mostly been resolved. Due to another problem with the backup exclusion rules we have lost all folders named "data". Unfortunately the MySQL database and several of our server folders had this common name, resulting in the loss of our forum data and ingame server ranks. We also lost the subversion repository we use for versioning our code, which is very unfortunate as well since we can not go back in our code history now. The faulty backup exclusion rules have been fixed so we should not get the same problems again.

Due to the incomplete backups it took quite some time for us to resolve the problems. Everything should now be running again though. The only thing that needs doing now is improving the forum skin.

If there is anything left that is not functioning correctly, please report.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Server downtime

First: sorry for the long time no updates.

Second: SERVER CRASH
Ok, as you might have noticed, our website has been down since either 12am this morning or 6 am this morning. This is related to one of the SCSI disks failing. It has probably died.
At this very moment we're working really hard to get our renegade servers backup. We're trying to recover everything, but are unsure if we can get everything restored. We might have a corupted backup, as we seem to have problems with the MYSQL database.

We'll keep you updated.
