Origin of Chameleron, The Vehicle in C&C Renegade Options

[2kool4u526]

Most of you know of the Extras Enabled command on some servers in Renegade and know of the NoD Extras vehicle the Chameleon


But do you know where the idea came from???
I found it on cncworld.org on the left side where it says WESTWOOD and underneath it, it says some stuff, and one of the things it says is "End of Westwood Pics" on the second page it has these pics:
Image: Aftermath of Chameleon's attack

Image: Chameeleon attacking monter and box.


and the best one of all...
Image: Westwood Battlebot

The caption under this says:
Westwood Battlebot
BattleBot (named "Chameleon") entry being prepped for a test run out back of Westwood. Greg Hjelstrom and Byon Garrabrant built it

You may recognise it from Renegade.


That is sweet, it would be awesome to have a remote controlled Chameleon to chew things up!!!

I saw the live pic long ago, but didn't know it was in Renegade. What did it do?

[2kool4u526]

In Renegade it was fast and heavy armored, no weapons, the only attack was to squish guys.
But they are good to use when rushing, I can drive right up to an advanced guard tower without it being destroyed, and take the tower out.

I never know this is were it was from

Enabling Extras
You can activate some fun extras in the multiplayer mode by pressing F8 to bring up the command menu and typing ''extras fnkgrrm'' (''extras quantifigon'' in the unpatched version). A message should appear saying, ''Extras ENABLED!'' Now hold down the Alt key while clicking on the character or vehicle buttons to bring up the extras (but there are no menu pictures for them). Extras do not work in laddered games.

Note: Some of the Nod extra characters are mutants. They regain health while they are standing on Tiberium or being hit by Tiberium-based weapons

It says to type "''extras fnkgrrm'' (''extras quantifigon'' in the unpatched version,)" but you don't have to do that, all you have to do is type "ex", press enter and it will finish the rest for you.
