  1. You can still block the warfactory with a tank even if you wall it like this. But for some reason you cannot block it with a miner, which is good. You cannot do it with refineries though, both tanks and miners can still get in. That's not alting. You did not press 'alt', you pressed 's'. That's... uhh... s-ing Yeah that was a big wtf moment . A squid-firing dreadnought - I have to learn how to replicate that .
  2. Are the live stream notifications still active with this new forum update?
  3. Yuri's Revenge is fixed at 800x600 at start up (game menu). My GUESS is that's what's causing the problem, and that you haven't installed CnCNet's Yuri's Revenge launcher (which shouldn't be necessary, but usually helps and also makes the game so much better). Try the following (one at a time)... Change your desktop resolution to 800x600. Change the game's resolution in ra2md.ini (located in your game's installation folder). Download and install the previously mentioned CnCNet YR Launcher (the good old download-the-launcher solution!). Run the game in windowed mode.
  4. Links to specific forum topics/pages don't seem to be working. Like for example, I just googled: -> red alert 2 maps (without quotes) -> then clicked on my map topic "RA2 & YR Maps - A ginormous collection of maps! - CnCNet" it took me to the front page of the forum instead of the topic's page. Same with other links to specific topics here. Also, it's a little annoying how if you copy a link from Google (or from anywhere else) then paste it onto your post, such as this one, it automatically turns it into a link, even though you didn't want it to be a link in your post, just a normal sentence. You have to either double-click that new link on your post then click "Remove Link", or right-click on your post while holding Ctrl, then click "Paste without formatting". Is there a way to create/edit posts using <tags> ?
  5. I like this pop-out menu hovering over the background thing, but how do you edit your post if you make a mistake? *edit oh ok, you just can't edit old posts.
  6. United Airlines - Board as a doctor, leave as a patient.

  7. XXxPrePxX is such a nice guy that he makes walls for his enemies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE4KEj5KLPU
  8. He posted, a while ago, that he uses the arrow keys, as well as right-click scrolling: http://xwis.net/forums/index.php/topic/178578-playing-habits-how-do-you-play-ra2/#entry1543512
  9. You ask "pro?" in the chat and when they say yes you kick them. :laugh:
  10. Your psychic system? "He who controls his sugar intake commands the future, He who thinks he can see the future has probably had too much sugar" -Sugar Kane
  11. Turrets are actually used on a regular basis, and are balanced enough (except for maybe the grand cannon), the same goes for the rest of the gameplay related things that you mentioned. If you disagree with me, it'll be a perfect example as to why the community will never come to an agreement.
  12. There are lines in there related to shroud and fog, but they don't seem to work. One of the lines say ShadowGrow = deos the shroud regrow? (def=no) DESUPPORTED. Why is it still in RA2's rules.ini if it's no longer supported? There are also lines related to tiberium and visceroids and other things which aren't even in RA2. Why are they there? Did the WW devs get lazy and just use a rules.ini template for all the old C&C's or something?
  13. Maybe you hacked the stats . Too bad you guys didn't record it, would have been fun to watch.
  14. Any vids? (Because no vids = didn't happen )
  15. Those^ units are too noisy to hide under fog anyway. I mean, as soon as a kirov is built it'll let everyone know that it's "REPORTING!", then make a constant deep hollow drum sound wherever it goes. Siege choppers' propellers are louder than rocketeers' jet packs. Tanya will tell your enemy that she's ready to "ROCK 'N' ROLL!"(YR) or just literally LOL (RA2). Oh and superweapon structures can't be hidden from your enemy by default. But yeah for the most part, fog of war would be useful. But I think it'll force people to change their strategies a lot (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Like for example, planes will be built more often because hit n runs will be a lot easier to execute (the same goes for those fast ifvs), stopping your war miners from getting droned will almost be impossible, you'll have to repeatedly scout/anti-scout, more base defences will be built (including scattered dogs to defend against spies), the Libyan demolition truck will become useful... and so on. It's probably possible to mod the game to have a re-shroud option (but only with the black shroud, not fog) by constantly triggering whatever is triggered when your Spy Satellite Uplink is destroyed.
  16. It'd be cool if we could earn 'CnCNet Credits', maybe 10 credits per game played (win or lose), a bonus 500 credits per 100 games played, etc., and then we could spend it on new VEHICLE SKINS, or new UNIT VOICES, new GAME MODES, cool LOBBY NAME FONTS... and so on. Not just for DTA but for all the games here.
  17. I like it a lot. I'd like it even more if they decide to continue working on and eventually releasing the RA2 & TS mods.
  18. Your maps look like alien crop circles
  19. Here's a fairly lengthy debate about this on the xwis server back in 2012 if anyone's interested... http://xwis.net/forums/index.php/topic/172213-fixing-planes-on-a-depot-bannable/ Feel free to continue voting on the poll ... http://xwis.net/forums/index.php/topic/172279-fixing-planes-on-a-depot-bannable-poll/ Bottom line is that the decision whether this is permitted or not is up to the admin(s) of the server. In the end of that^ debate, Olaf (the xwis admin) posted: "to me it looks like it should be bannable."
  20. You've done just about everything with this mod, including adding multiplayer save games. Do you think you'd be able to add a replay feature one day? Is that possible?
  21. I don't really like the logo, but it's better than the previous one. The new map location selection feature looks pretty good though. When is this version going to be released?
