  1. Hello, welcome. Incase Google leads you down the wrong rabbit hole (virus, bitcoin miners, porn...) here are some good tutorials that might help you out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa9Udz4hdmEOVfsjXD36XUgvSigAPMpST https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/7976-chrono-vortexs-content-hub/?tab=comments#comment-61825 https://forums.cncnet.org/forum/13-mapping-tutorials/ https://www.ppmsite.com/ There are others good ones out there but maybe check these out first. You can of course just ask in the Mapping Discussion section.

    News from EA.

    So in other words, with the amount of reverse-engineering done here, CnCNet actually has more resources and knowledge of the inner workings of the games than EA? I hope you're wrong because that's just sad (both unfortunate and pathetic). I don't think a remake will be good enough for the fans because we already have an unofficial 'remastered' version which is "Dawn of the Tiberium Age" (DoTA)(<-- my click-bate acronym ) and yet nobody plays it, not online anyway. But then again a remake would remind old fans of the classics, and maybe even attract new ones that may wonder what the originals were/are like. In my opinion, and probably mine only, they surprisingly made a break through with C&C Rivals, but completely ruined it by making it pay to win.

    "With that in mind we’ve been exploring some exciting ideas regarding remastering the classic PC games" I had this idea almost 4 years ago!! ?? https://forums.cncnet.org/topic/2582-suggestions-for-future-campc-titles/?do=findComment&amp;comment=22468
  4. How about a TEMPORARY solution that uses what we currently have (and maybe with a few, hopefully only minor, additions). Will this work?: @ Devs / staff / anyone who understands what goes on behind the scenes: Are all in-game nicknames linked to an email account? If so, does the current ladder have the option to sum up ALL the points from ALL the nicknames that are linked to a specific email? Is there such a feature behind the scenes that players can't see, like a filter or something? And if not, would it be too difficult / time-consuming to add it? What I'm getting at is, for example: [email protected] (linked nicknames): xyzAndrew - 200 points xyzBrian - 350 points xyzChris - 50 points xyzDarren - 450 points Then somewhere in the ladder... "Clan [email protected] total points so far = 1050" Obviously all members of the clan will have to be given the password to the clan's account, which means they will all be able to add, delete, or do whatever they like with the account, so it's up to the clan's creator to only invite players that they trust. Also, all the nicknames in each clan account will have to be allowed to log in and play at the same time. So again, only as a TEMPORARY solution until a proper clan system is in place one day... will that^ work?
  5. You're question is confusing because one team makes Allied War Factories and the other makes Soviet ones, but in battle they somehow have both tanks available? ? But I get what you mean now. In an isolated match up with no outside factors involved, and both sides are identical in numbers and skill, I don't think it would matter either way because it's a catch-22: Rhinos can make use of their stronger armor at the front, but then the grizzlies', though able to fire faster than rhinos, have a shorter firing range and might not all reach the enemy tanks from behind. Some of them will just be sitting there not doing anything. On the other hand, the rhinos being at the back will be making use of their longer range, but won't be taking advantage of their armor. If your enemy has their grizzlies in front, your rhinos will be stronger, but they will have more grizzlies than your rhinos, which as I mentioned, fire faster. Vice-versa of course if you both switched positions and you have your grizzlies in front. If you both have the same configuration, then luck will decide it. That's all well and good in theory any way. But in reality, some people are so skilled that they can even hotkey their promoted units to land the final shot (whether against units or structures), and become elite quicker. Against such players, none of the above matters. Maybe just mash all your tanks up together and hope for the best .
  6. Is Alex still around? His source codes might need to be checked for any uh... "bugs"... but he can probably help out.
  7. Ask old man Olaf. It's his birthday soon btw. Tell him you'll send him one of these (in real life) if he makes you a clan system...
  8. I'm not saying that the staff are asking for payment (which they deserve anyway), but just out of curiosity, have people donated for the 1v1 ladders yet? Because I remember conversations similar to this, except it was about the 1v1 QM ladder.
  9. If it's possible to have new colors (that the other players can also see), I think it should be an unlockable. Like if you play more than 1000 QM games, you can choose special colored units, or even structures.
  10. Yeah I've made my peace with them ?. They failed with C&C in recent years, but at least they tried, and they're not afraid to try new things... unlike Olaf Stubborn Spek!
  11. This would have been pretty good if it wasn't pay-to-win, even with the AI opponents made to look like human players. I know that just about every smart phone game these days is pay-to-win, but at least some games don't make it so difficult just to try and make you wanna purchase things. But that said, I still play it from time to time for some reason .
  12. You need to react fast. To react fast, things have to be done automatically, without thinking about it. For things to be done automatically, they have to first be in your subconscious. You need to do something over and over again to 'program/engrave' it into the subconscious part of your brain. Repetition --> subconscious --> automatic --> fast reaction time (But make sure that what you are putting into the automatic part of your brain are only good strategies/counters, otherwise it'll become a bad habit that will take a long time to get rid off!)
  13. I was having a text conversation with this gorgeous woman-friend that I want to bang. In the middle of it I accidentally texted my wife instead!! ? I was SOOOOOooooo.. lucky that the miss-sent text only said "Are you busy right now", and not one of the other texts talking about her sexy short black dress (which my wife does not have). Boy did I dodge a bullet. Jeezus... sometimes I do dumb things . I think I'll go buy a cheap second phone. #dumbass
  14. Fiverr.com has a lot of people who do all sorts of jobs for money, if you can't find anyone on the C&C sites.
  15. You could have written all that in one sentence: "Focus on what you are feeling right NOW (the present) and leave the past behind - you will better"
  16. Some people will only log on and actually STAY for specific reasons. But sometimes (maybe most of the time) log on at the 'wrong time' and will straight away log off. So how about if they're told, or NOTIFIED, WHEN to log on? Right now you can only enable notifications regarding FORUM activities, which is good, but would it be possible to add notifications specifically related to current SERVER activity? Like for example... Notify if: there are 10 or more TS matches running/open there are 10 or more players in Quick Match a friend is online an event is about to begin (tournament, ladder soon to end/reset) rank has dropped below top 10 there are major updates ...and so on. People will also have to be reminded to have notifications enabled on their Firefox / Chrome apps on their phones as well so they can be notified anywhere.
  17. Wise man say... "You will learn more playing 1 game against a stronger player than playing 1000 games against a weaker player."

  19. For some reason 2560x1600 shows 1 more row of cameos (or available cameo containers) than 4096x2160??? That's strange, probably has something to do with the aspect ratio ?. Anyhow, as FunkyFr3sh said, ultra high definition resolutions only work with the CnCNet versions of the games. Here are a few matches played in 4096x2160p... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5EN6OvYpNXOu-hxWwaKi1y8OJwReRGm7
  20. I've been waiting over 6 years for this idea to happen --> http://xwis.net/forums/index.php/topic/172869-elite-nicknames-for-hofers
  21. I just copy/pasted the already installed files. I'll try that^ when I get a chance.
  22. I tried RA just now but no luck, the first menu (Play Online / Skirmish / Settings...) doesn't even open. 'RA-95Spawn.exe' works though, but only single player, and I did try different graphics settings. I don't think Exagear can open windows or dialogue boxes or anything from WindowsAPI (or wherever Windows stuff comes from), it's only designed to open the game itself - that's my guess anyway, I'm usually wrong. I think you did something wrong because I never have that problem.
  23. For me it's just the hotkeys really that I've gotten so used to over the years, I have no problem with moving units or placing down buildings or pretty much anything else related to playing the game itself. But my main keyboard problem is that my phone doesn't have an ESC key, which means whenever I accidentally press the info button (TAB) while scrolling around with the radar, I can't get back into the game! I also can't skip cinematics when playing campaign mode. I think the main reason why the cncnet launcher won't even open up is because it opens up on the desktop and is not the actual game. But I'll still keep trying, maybe open it in full screen or try different renderers. I can't connect to xwis either because (and I'm just guessing here) the game needs WOLAPI (internet components) info from the Windows Registry, which Exagear doesn't have.
  24. If you can figure out how to get the cncnet launcher to work with Exagear, let us know please. I've been trying to get it to work on my Samsung S9, with no luck ?. Single player works fine though (besides keyboard problems).
