Ra2Nub

Very interesting. Did it got advertised there somewhere or was MO always famous in China? I somehow hope they do not go to YR because language barrier may become a huge problem, unless they speak English too Do you need YR to even play MO?

Where do those 300 people playing Mental Omega come from? I am really curious on this.

Some mod maps skip it, but I don't think its currently possible everywhere.

More differences: in RA2 you can force a harrier or black eagle to go to any Air Force command by hovering over one and left clicking (you will see the 'enter' cursor'). In RA2mode and YR this was removed due to unknown reasons. Its actually pretty useful if you want your Herrier to go to a specific one of your Air Force Commands.. if this can be fixed, can it be fixed in YR too? --- A more useless difference and most likely seen as a bug: In RA2 you can set a rally point on your Air Force Command. This however is completely useless and doesn't work.

New bug or at least very recent. Hard to see but these are black eagles with a bullet. Wrong and barely visible icon Other difference still (since we went hardcore RA2 mode now) 1) When you spam order a unit to do something, you will repeately hear the voice clips over and over in RA2. in YR (and RA2mode) it will wait until its completely over until a new one happens from same unit. Probably not possible to be changed, however. More posted this due to Black Eagle (and Harrier) bullet bug.

Another record for YR. 350 online.

Other difference: When capturing a tech building now you hear nothing anymore. If the purpose was to remove the 'Yuris's Revenge' additions which is hearing which type of tech building you did capture, RA2 still had the 'Tech Building Captured' sound when you did capture a tech building. Now you hear nothing.

Noticed that the score background colour got weird since this change, or maybe earlier? RA2 mode: YR: EDIT: seems to only happen with the Soviet one.

If you are building a refinery without one your miners will mine ore, even if its not build yet (on command of course). This might be what you mean.

Moreee minor stuff. Ore Purifier still animates regardless of low power or not in RA2. In YR (and RA2mode) it no longer animates when you are low on power. The loading theme on RA2 mode is still the theme of YR (Bully Kit), not RA2 (Jank). Not sure if this can be changed or hardcoded in the client. Ditto for the score theme, which I think could actually be easier replaced, since score is not used in the 'BGM playlist', while loading is. When you have something mind controlled of a team that is defeated, the unit explodes/die in RA2. In YR you will keep it and if mind controlled yuri dies, becomes neutral hostile. When a neutral oil derrick (and any tech building I believe) is half destroyed, and its still from neutral, it starts moving in YR. This is not the case in RA2. I know this gets so minor that I doubt it will be made THIS authentic (as well as very unlikely events like the mind controlled defeat thing), but differences is differences.

More things I remember: In vanilla RA2 civilian caps (taxis, etc) that are mind controlled do not get auto attacked if you move them to enemy base (except AI I believe). In YR and RA2mode it does. You could bring a school bus with 5 infantries with it and sneak on someone's base, this is no longer possible since it gets auto fired. This is very minor but differences are differences. Also, the Propaganda Truck civilian truck in the RA2 mission has an announcer speaking over and over. While this truck was only used in Single Player, the truck also had the same speech in Multiplayer if placed in map. in YR it was completely removed. In RA2 neutral hostile is friends with the AI, and in maps such as city under siege the gates open for them. This is no longer the case in YR. Yes, minor shit here but its differences

I suggest removing the oil exploit. I still don't see many people do it, and wouldn't want that to happen if this bug is unfixable. Isn't this one exclusive to RA2 engine? I am very sure you can't move an MCV in YR when its deploying/undeploying unlike RA2 Ditto for this, unless its a different exploit then I am thinking of Rest is YR though

Wasn't this fine before the new client though? I remember when I joined here the RA2 mode art was fine, the new client came out, and suddenly the art reverted to YR again and never got fixed since Other thing if I remember right: Tanya's dead sound is from YR in RA2 mode, not RA2. Things that I prefer not removed but is different: -Hospital heals units all the time instead of 1 unit entering like in RA2

Just copy paste a clean RA2 folder and keep 1 you use to modify. RA2 is such a small game that its not an issue having two of them, if you really have issues with CnCnet detecting you as a cheater.

I think the title of this thread better fits 'the different kind of playergroups in CnCnet' Even the original RA2 supported mod maps, so I am not sure how playing an unofficial map is not 'playing the game how it is meant to be played' I kind of play everything, except ladder. I am about average. The reason why I do not play as much official maps vs veterans is purely because I do not really have fun playing games with people way above my skill range, while unofficial maps or official maps like dune patrol are played with okay people, which means less stress and less srsbusiness. I play Sadona as well from time to time, and what I noticed negative about this map when I took a half year or so break, is that now everyone plays this map with Superweapons off. This map is do-able with SW on, but when its off its one big boring camp fest, and on most part shit. For anyone that host Sadona and read this: please host with SW on again. P.S: I am surprised you didn't put a list of 'Extra Small' noobs. That map is dominating CnCnet as much Funny big map 4 was dominating XWIS, when it comes to custom maps. TL:DR: Everyone plays games a different way. A lot of RTS games had custom map features, most famous would be Warcraft 3. The custom map possibility with that game is/was insane, and added countless hours of additional replay value when it comes to online play.

For starters just make a filter that not ANY map can have an identical name as the official maps. With just that filter you already shape off 99% of the cheated maps, where people are now forced to put an extra character or space in the identical map name, which is very easy to spot. Its already very easy spot in general because the map preview will be very ugly, and you never have to download an official map, but if they can't have an identical name anymore as the official maps it helps a lot too, since that's how they put people off-guard.

Can confirm the Gap recon error is a thing, and indeed since day one. There's times at Sedona it happens if someone nuke someone with a gap, usually at the first frame the nuke does damage the game recon, but its very inconsistent and surely don't happen all time. Usually I hear the 'low power' sound when the recon appears EDIT: Gotta say though this haven't happened since a bit, but it surely happened before, at least about 5 times for me.

Title. In CnCnet you can still build a Refinery, this is incorrect. Furthermore, in CnCnet you do not get Engineers as starting units, in vanilla you do. CnCNet: Vanilla: I am probably going through all game modes since I am pretty sure some other are still incorrect as well, including some very minor stuff in RA2 mode.

Fair points made, I agree. Perhaps its more a picky thing from me in 1 vs 1's and I need remember to unlock the room

Been back after a long MIA and being busy, see many client improvements have been made, nice! One thing that bothered me a lot is when you kick someone the room doesn't auto unlock. Many times I stare at screen to only notice 10 minutes later that the room is still locked. I wonder if its hard or difficult to make kicking auto unlock the room. Cheers!

Its not really freezing, but more invisible state. Try move your mouse to the go back to game button and it should go back to normal. For #2 move your mouse to end game button and same happens, it should unfreeze and end game normally. Yes, I am aware you can't see your mouse, you need do it in your mind. though yeah this is a Windows 8/10 issue and I am pretty sure there's no solution that fixes YR 100% for W10.

316 current record for YR.

Out of curiosity but what is the top 5 countries that play over CnCnet as a whole? I am still busy myself so been playing less :<

Can confirm it works fine on Vista, so should be in list.
