As the title says, my Command and Conquer Renegade (on C&C first decade) won't do anything when I try to open it whilst running my FDS at the same time. It produces a loading cursor when I click on Renegade and then stops loading about 2 seconds after clicking on it.

Can anyone help me with this i.e. Any suggestions/FACTS?

Here's a print screen of Brenbot and Renegade Master Server up and running at the same time if it helps you:

Add +multi to the command line for the FDS server.

Sorry to have to act moronic, but what is the command line again - It's when you open up the FDS and are able to type commands in isn't it? With the > sign at the side of each message usually?

Because I typed in +multi and it came up as "+multi" is not a command.

Right click the shortcut that opens the FDS, select properties and add +multi to the end of the Target field. Then run the FDS.

Ah I see... Thankyou very much for your time, but now when I run the server it doesn't appear in the games list... That's about the 4th problem so far with creating this server and that's following a tutorial and all!

If you mean the Gamespy games list, you can't see servers hosted on your own IP in the Gamespy games list, it's some sort of wierd bug with GSA.

No I mean the WOL Games List.

EDIT: I just noticed that it disconnects me from WOL with the server running, maybe, just maybe, that's why my server doesn't appear in the list..... Although I don't know why it would disconnect me - It could be because I installed a different server.dat file which Crimson suggested on another forum to allow you to join your own game, which I thought might be useful.

Would the WOLProxy 1.1 sticky thread's instructions about changing the host file help at all?

Replace your server.dat with this one(and won't need the +multi): http://www.blackintel.org/files/blackintel.server.dat.zip

Note: This makes it so you can start renegade when the server is on and also has some other helpful things.

PS. Sorry to put your help down DanPaul I just think this works much better.

Are you logging in to WOL with the same username as the server uses? Because if so that's why you can't see it, as soon as you login with the same username as the server the server gets booted off WOL. You have to give the server a *different* username.

By the 'game username' do you mean the game name?

This is what's in my svrcfg_cnc.ini file as the game name:
; The name of the server as it appears in the lobby list. This has a limit of
; 25 characters in GameSpy mode.
;
bGameTitle = Goonhaven's AOW Server

The game title contains my username but it isn't just my username, does it have an effect if it has any part of the title with your name in it?

OR is this the game username (in server.ini):
; Nickname =
;
; This is the Westwood Online nickname you will use when logging into the
; Westwood Online matchmaking system. You can use a nickname from a previous
; Westwood Studios game or apply for a new one by copying the following line
; and pasting it into your web browsers address window
;
; http://register.westwood.com

Nickname = Goonhaven

Nvm... I found out that it's the one in server.ini and changed it... Now my game works just fine! Apart from the GAME PENDING screen... But I believe I saw a thread on that somewhere.

Or just use the +multi command line or the modified server.dat as mentioned in previous posts, which solved his problem already. Please read a topic before replying to it blindly, especially when your solution is not as good at the ones already posted which actually fix the problem, not just work around it.

I had the same problem then i thought well i I'll just try and load ren first see what happens. Works fine that way. You don't need to modify any files.

yes i know this is old, someone just showed this to me. sorry didnt look at the date before i replied.
