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 Renegade X and PlanetSide 2.

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.

News

New dedicated server box

Posted on 09 Apr 2007 by StealthEye
Last saturday we (Ghostshaw, EvilWhiteDragon and I) installed our new dedicated server in a datacenter in Amsterdam. After working hard to get things set up and running, it seems to be pretty stable and nice now. A few remaining problems will be sorted out soon, but in my opinion it went pretty fluently. We hope this one will even better than the box we used to rent. Due to the enormous amount of things we had to do, fix, explain, etc we kind of forgot about posting a news post, but here it is anyway. ;)

We also switched to a new way to connect to XWIS. Instead of using WolAPI we recoded most of its functionality to be able to keep the servers running when they lose connection to xwis and for some other less interesting reasons. Although it seemed to be running pretty well in test phase it turned out to be impossible to kick or ban players anymore! Also BIATCH could not ban players in that period. That has now been fixed though. :)

We apologise for any trouble caused by these things, like interrupted games or server crashes. However in the end these changes will only have positive effects. We hope you agree there! ;)

Issues fixed

Posted on 28 Feb 2007 by StealthEye
The issues relating to the "negotiating port with server" bug have been fixed. :)

Also I hope to have the remaining BIATCH bugs fixed which means it should be ready for release after some new test runs. :)

Igglyboo's mod rights revoked

Posted on 10 Feb 2007 by EvilWhiteDragon
We were thinking about revoking Igglyboo's mod rights, but we wanted to check if he behaved as bad as we thought he did. Unfortunately we found out that it was perhaps even worse then we thought.

What he did he do you might ask?
Well, he was rather offending towards other players and he used a lot of capital letters. Things that a normal would have gotten banned for.
As a moderator you should actually know that you are not supposed to swear, talk in caps, change teams in empty games, insult others thinking you are great yourself and trying to get money off fellow teammates for your own actions by phases like "Donate me and I will win the game!".
As we want proper and fair moderators, we cannot tolerate this and as a consequence, we had to take Igglyboo's modrights.

Interview and more!

Posted on 06 Feb 2007 by EvilWhiteDragon
As we already stated in the newspost this morning, we got interviewed and it is now on the internet. You can view it here: http://www.renegadecommunity.com/page.php?link=blackintel.

I am also happy to announce that we will form a BlackIntel clan shortly. This will be based at first on the community war we will have with the Jelly's. As we had some trainings I have seen some ppl that I would like to get in to our clan.
I will be doing final selections later, during other trainings.

I will keep you posted as this progresses.

BlackIntel announces BIRDS

Posted on 05 Feb 2007 by GhostShaw
BlackIntel hereby announces another project that has been in development for quite a while now. BIRDS stands for BlackIntel Retard Detection System and what it basically does is sharing all bans, kicks and warnings between servers. Additionally it also shares the untrusted players coming from BIATCH.

This system will basically work like this. There will be one main server (hosted by us), and each server will have a client side DLL. Not everyone will have access. We will only give out accounts (and the dll, even though its useless without account) to servers we trust, and which we know have trustworthy mods.

Even though all servers should be trustworthy each client can determine how much weight to give to each server and even separate mods.

Currently we have nearly finished the server, but the client does still need some work.

Happy Birthday BlackIntel!

Posted on 05 Feb 2007 by StealthEye
BlackIntel's first anniversary! Several things have been planned for today, and there have been several deadlines ending today, so we've got some stuff to announce too!

BIATCH, I'm sure you have heard about it. Our server side anti cheat and cheat detection solution. We had hoped to get at least a beta out today, I've spent most of my time working on it over the past week, however the final touches needed way more time then we had expected. We do currently have a build which is near to completion and which has the bugs which had been reported (mostly by TK2) fixed. Expect a beta or release soon!

Also, our scripts.dll RG SSC we were working on should be finished today or at least pretty soon. It depends on a few things, but we might be able to detect rgh with it. I will not give any further details for now, we should first wait for the test results.

Then there is the interview planned for tonight. Renegadecommunity.com will be interviewing us. The result will be uploaded on their site and we will probably add another news post when the interview is finished. Stay tuned! ;)

Meanwhile our own scripts.dll running at a0000000a/b/c did not have many updates due to the various other projects. Some bugs have been fixed but nothing major. I hope to get a list of these and write a newspost about them soon as I do not have time to do it right now.

Good, that should be most of the important things we're currently into. I'm aware of the little updates on the site, I'm sorry for that.

And again:
Happy birthday BlackIntel!

Ghostshaw admin

Posted on 21 Jan 2007 by StealthEye
Ghostshaw now is an official BI admin. He was already involved with quite a lot of BI decisions before and has been an very good moderator and coder, hence this promotion. Now he has some extra access and is an IRC operator.
Congrats Ghost!

Happy new year everyone + site n mods updates

Posted on 08 Jan 2007 by EvilWhiteDragon
First of all I want ot wish everyone the best for 2007 ;) May this become a good mod year for renegade!

Moderator changes.


We removed xocezert from the moderator list because we had serveral complaints about him and after we had a good look at them most where indeed true. We also heard that he might have been cheating, but we have not found proper evidence to support that so we didnt ban him from the servers. Not that that would be neccesary I think, because I heard he quited renegade anyway.

We where more or less also forced to take dead6re's mod access, this because he talked about things he shouldn't have been talking about, atleast not without our permission. He is punished for it and is now trying to regain our trust.

So not much good news eh? Well, I have some good news too, just read on ;)

We knew we needed some new mods so after we recruited Trace we recruited alanco9 and very recently we made HTT-Bird a mod too. Alanco9 will just become a "normal" mod and HTT-Bird will probably gonna do some coding for us. He will probably add some extra safegaurds against cheaters , which is ofcourse always a good thing :).

Site updates.


We've added playerlistings to the XWIS server page so it is possible to see who's in the server. Also we added a "Who's online?" section on the staff page so you can now directly see what admin and what moderators are online, and where.

Sorry for the lack of updates here btw, we will try to keep you guys informed ;)

That's it for now :).
