I'm not sure about other platforms, but Firefox on pc gives you the option of having translated subtitles.

I was about to sign up for the tourny 'till I saw that it was on P4 . Nothing wrong with P4, jst that I dont stand a chance

What makes you think I'm on Sustanon? 'Cos it's your new xwis nickname?

Well... there you have it people, the 'Dawn of CnCNet'. It's still in bits and pieces and needs to be all put together and written nicely, but everything about CnCNet's birth is pretty much all here. It may not mean that much right now, but years from now, when all the classic 2D C&C's are all up and running, every feature imaginable has been implemented, all the mods (and future mods) are also complete and working online, plus every unforeseen future goodies that lie ahead... this will be a nice story to look back to.

1. He bought it, how everyone get's their domains. ... 3. The Command & Conquer Communications Center was/is where CnCNet originated and over time they just merged into one. (The CnCNet site used to be part of the cnc-comm.com domain too (cncnet.cnc-comm.com)) Really smart ass?? I thought Hifi made the domain completely from scratch! What I meant was "how come Hifi got to register cncnet.rog to his name and not Myg, Nyerguds, Irony, or Tore (you)? Here's my guess: Hifi joined the team, realized that these games needed a dedicated server, so he purchased one and registered it under his name. Prior to his arrival, everyone played each other using p2p. Hifi was doing such a good job with upgrading the cncnet tool and was generous enough to pay for the new server, cncnet.org (which was named after their tool) that Myg, Nyerguds, Irony and Tore didn't mind. So in short, the torch was passed on from Myg (with the help of Nyerguds) -> Irony -> Hifi, while Tore kept everybody, including the fans, together. Correct? Anyone? Now about the 2 separate domains, cnc-comm.com and cncnet.org, I don't see the point in having one just for the forums and the other for allowing people to connect through. Why not just have everything in one domain? Oh yeah and I agree that the CnCNet History page should be updated. People deserve the recognition, especially when they don't get paid, imo. ******************* @Rampastring - for what my opinion is worth (maybe 2 cents), from a user's point of view, I think your YR client is awesome. I'm sure you'll eventually have all those KABOOMs fixed (I think with some of them, people just don't know how to add exceptions to their anti-virus programs). @SiRaLeX - Looks like that Sustanon is working huh? Hey, probably not the right forum for this, but I've got a 4-pack hiding under my fat stomach . It's been hiding there since not long after I got married. I lost some of the fat by doing a LOT of cardio and of course staying away from fatty and sugary foods. But the cardio takes up sooo much of my time that I've gotten lazy and the fat is back. Do you know of an effective, but quick, way to lose body fat? I don't even care about gaining or losing muscle anymore, I just wanna lose my chubbiness.

Ok so I'm a little more clear on how it got started, but... 1. How did Hifi end up owning cncnet.org? 2. @Nyerguds - In your link (http://planetcnc.gamespy.com/Viewab36.html?view=Techtroopers.Detail&id=74), which one is Myg; Tim Gokcen (was HeXetic his old nickname) or Adam Krock? 3. Why are there 2 websites for (cnc-comm.com & cncnet.org)? Which one is the server that the games connect to?

I'm under the impression that Hifi is the owner of CnCNet because of how he was talking in the xwis / cncnet merger topic, plus cncnet.org is registered to him. But, according to Nyerguds, it was him and Myg that started it. And to confuse me even further, the Credits section says that Tore was the founder!?!?!..??? . Can somebody please tell me the detailed, chronologically accurate story of the beginnings of CnCNet?

Yeah I read somewhere (forgot where) that xwis.net earns on average $500 (US) p/month. I found it interesting that cncnet is willing to cooperate, to the point that hifi would even give full control of it to Olaf, while Olaf who can probably port his ladder and all it's features over night to this server, doesn't even want to talk about it, not openly anyway. I also read (somewhere a while ago, forgot where now) that xwis.net will expire and be due for renewal on Feb 16 next year... maybe it won't have to be renewed? I do love xwis / strike-team, but what people don't understand is that neither xwis nor cncnet have to 'die' because they can work together. But back on topic... @SiRaLeX Again out of curiosity, if you wanted to, are you be able to make a client for Sole Survivor to connect people here on cncnet? If you are, roughly how long would such a project take?

I used to know the basics of C and x86 assembly back in the mid-late 90's. I was able to make simple games with C (nothing special but I remember making a version of the classic Snake/Tron game with a boss battle at the end ) and I could perform simple hacks (like give infinite lives to Commander Keen, or bypass registrations with simple security coding then patch it with a hex editor) using SoftICE. I even used debug.com to modify a couple of DOS games, which to me was an achievement because debug.com was sooo not user friendly. I wish I hadn't discovered other 'fun' things in life that ended up being a total waste of time and just kept on experimenting with reverse-engineering (if I can even call it that, at such a basic level), because by now I could probably be at a level good enough to be able to help you guys out with reverse engineering these oldies.

Genius, that's the best one!

Ok, I just tried 3 different people's nicknames that weren't mine and I was able to log in (while they weren't of course, not with the same nickname anyway). So no, nicknames aren't unique or connected to ip addresses. Using passwords sounds like a good idea, but admin would have to allow passwords to be associated with nicknames, otherwise your ladder won't work, not properly anyway.

Wow, nice. Hopefully you can one day implement those skills here (for money or not). You weren't banned from the game, you were banned from a server (don't take it out on one of my favourite games, it's not his fault )

@SiRaLeX - Out of curiosity, what else are you capable of regarding RA2/YR? I mean, for example, can you make or help with 1. ladder features, like on xwis (badges, ladder stats like win/loss ratio, maps played, factions played etc.) 2. a Quick Match system for the YR client (except don't call it 'Quick Match' coz that's a dumb name imo ) 3. a Clanning system 4. a Clan ladder 5. a Hall of Fame 6. anti-cheats (in addition to what's already here, against future hacks) 7. the YR Client 8. general server issues/improvements (a while ago, maybe years ago now, you told me that RA2 can run online as fast as single player skirmish mode) 9. Win 8.1 /10 compatibility issues 10. Other things RA2/YR related? Xwis already has some of these things but CnCNet has way more cool things (8 players, multi engi, no engi eat, easy to install and play...), and so much more potential with admins that welcome additions and changes.

Maybe with a password? You tell me. I've never played on CnCNet. I'm not sure coz I've only ever used fir3w0rx and I don't think anyone else has used it (not at the same time that I've logged in with it anyway).

Are nicknames unique to ip addresses? I mean, how are you gonna prevent 2 or more players from using the same nickname? I wouldn't want anyone using my uber pro top 500 nickname, then intentionally losing my points!

Can we have a teaser screen shot?

The 'Custom maps.txt' in the Custom folder says: "Custom maps need to have a .map, .mpr or .yrm extension." But .yrm and .mpr files don't seem to work, they're not showing up in-game, only .map works.

Who do we have to annoy to make the client do this; Rampastring?

This isn't for an official change in slogan or anything (I'm not even sure if CnCNet has one), but just for fun, what are some catchy, memorable, maybe funny slogans you can think of for this server? Here are some of mine: CnCNet - The past is not what it used to be. CnCNet - Making your childhood dreams come true! CnCNet - Don't talk, just play! CnCNet - Welcome back, commander. (I've seen this one floating around, but I'm not sure if it's already been used as a slogan) CnCNet - The Future of the Classics. CnCNet - The battle continues... are you ready? CnCNet - Suit up commander... we're back!

I look forward to all of the updates, but mostly this. A 3D/HD version of the original missions would be real nice to see

That video is private... I wish I could watch this one You're not missing out on much so don't worry, it's just Ivan constantly blowing up a bridge without the player doing anything (except at the start) My favorite :3 Yeah this was pretty cool. Lucky I had my recorder on because I've never been able to do it again!

I think EA/Westwood made Yuri more powerful than the others because it's called 'Yuri's Revenge'!

See you on the battle field mrabd423 and get ready to get annihilated! Just kidding Welcome, and if you see my nickname (fir3w0rx) in the game lobbies, feel free to join and we'll play some games.

I use Norton, which is one of the most paranoid av's out there, and yet I don't have any problems with updating. Be careful, maybe you do have a virus! Which virus is AVG detecting anyway?

funny. YouTube subtitles aren't the best but it's better than nothing.
