Irony

I built it all myself recently and I think it came to about £1000

Just took a few. Computer Case: Lian-Li PC A-10 CPU: Intel i7 920 Mobo: Asus P6T-SE Gfx: Ati Radeon 5770 x2 (gonna upgrade to the new GeForce GTX 300 series when they're released) Mem: 6GB DDR3 HDD: 1x1.5TB, 1x1TB, 1x300GB Monitor 1: 23" 1920x1080 /w HDMI, DVI and VGA input (LG Flatron W2361V) Monitor 2: 24" 1920x1080 /w DVI and VGA input (Acer v243H) Keyboard: Logitech G15 Refresh Mouse: Logitech G9 Printer: Some HP Photosmart All-in-one Speakers: Some cheap 2.1 speakers.

NEDM - The game?! *gets* And I've got an old PC Gamer mag from the 90s with Jazz Jackrabbit on the front! here's mine:

It's a cool project. Especially since it's in java, because it will be playable on any operating system.

I'll look into linux support again at some point then. It's exam time for me atm, so there won't be an update for a few weeks.

Ohhhh. Okay. I think I sort of get it. I don't get how the code I've got helps though... Isn't each wine process in it's own 'vm'

Hey, Thanks for the offer. The translation stuff might happen a few weeks for now And CnCNet is already opensource! See the project at http://code.google.com/p/cncnet

Follow'd

The chatbox is more convenient than an IRC anyway.

okay, fair enough, but why would you want to do that over just hosting the game in windows?

Nah, still commented out. tbh, I don't see the point?

Hi, I'm afraid, I don't understand what you're asking? can you rephrase your question?

@Nyer, how simple is it to set the blitting to 32-bit colour as per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1054365/exclusive-directdraw-palette-isnt-actually-exclusive ?

...the hell? $5000 what for? I've charged less than that for big web development projects This isn't someone buying this, this should be about wanting to get the game back online.

I've not tested CnCNet with a VPN connection. What kind of VPN is it and why can't you use your main internet connection?

oh wow! I didn't know about that! Cheers for letting me know!

I said that I'd like to keep that one free due to the fact we don't want a user-made map at the top of the list

New release! Changes/Additions: Automatic Port Forwarding - Will now automatically forward port 8054 UDP if your router supports it Automatic Port Forward option - Allows you to disable the new feature if it causes problems New window style for options dialog - Squarer window with a close button ESC closes windows - As requested by Nyerguds Alt-F4 no longer closes application - As requested by Nyerguds Left click on tray icon opens menu - As requested by Nyerguds Re-enabled user joining message - You will now receive a message when someone joins your game I toyed with the idea of adding pings to users on the "Who's Online?" list, but since pings take a while to work out it delayed the opening time of the window and also most routers, by default, do not respond to ping requests. There's another way I could do this but it's a lot more work, so it'll not be until a later version. I'm also considering offering other languages for the UI, if you're interested in translating - let me know Also, if you find any bugs - let me know!

Nah, killing explorer is a bad idea. Users won't like it if their taskbar and folders all disappear.

Sure thing, I can probably add them to the next update. I think the Alt+F4 this is a feature of windows though. since it means "Close Program" not "Close Window"

Merry Xmas! Have a good one!

I'm going to be 100% honest. That looks awesome as hell.

It's down to when another application grabs focus (even for a millisecond) it will overwrite the current pallet with the windows standard 4-bit pallet. This could be fixed with one of two ways: 1. C&C could frequently reload the pallet (Not sure about the feasibility of this, Considering it'd probably need re-initializing of the DDraw object. and that DEP would stop any direct memory writes to that area) 2. There's the HKCU/Control Panel/Desktop/ForegroundLockTimeout=0xFFFFFFFF Which may work. But affects all of windows (basically sets an amount of time that has to be waited before an application can steal focus). Someone who has the issue a lot should test to see if option 2 works with C&C
