Nice Edifiers. I have the R1280T. Bought from Amazon.

I wouldn't even open this one. I'd already know the mouse ball would make the gameplay garbage. Best to keep it sealed as a collectors item. Download a free version of RA online and done.

If you lower the game volume through the client settings, it'll still keep the taunt volume as if its at max.

Old School! I wonder how gameplay would be with these:

What it would look like if CnCNet had badges and clans
aWarNoob1 replied to aWarNoob1's topic in Red Alert 2
Another thing that would help tremendously for the cnc client would be the option to organize players by various categories. For example, alphabetical-order and friends list. -
This map has come a long ways. Dont download this urban version though. It's full of glitches. Here is the working Sedona Global Warming: Edited and fixed by Tutankhamun

@Tutankhamun Is this the [!!Remastered!!] [Fixed] version of the map? What's in the [Fixed] version?

I like the change of lighting you did on these maps. Just tried rebirth, it's great.

What it would look like if CnCNet had badges and clans
aWarNoob1 replied to aWarNoob1's topic in Red Alert 2
Maybe should be YR icon next to badges? Here's the Xwis lobby back in the day: Notice only 26 players in lobby, yet it looks very active and colorful. Each guy with his rank, badge, and clan was bringing something to the table. The backdrop image is also a bit darker on CnCNet. Would be nice to brighten it up a bit. -
Did it have a plastic/petrochemical smell to it? That's my only gripe when ordering things from China. They have low regulations on the materials they use. I have a chi-fi tube amplifier I bought a year ago that still has a faint chemical smell to it when I turn it on. When I first unboxed it, I'd almost fainted it was so bad. I had to air out my room that had now been turned into a Chernobyl #2. They're called Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs. Most Chinese products I buy have this distinctive smell to them, unfortunately.

I'm not sure about this. We already have the option for no spot previews. Also on CnCNet many pros can easily change their nickname to remain anonymous. Part of the game is knowing who you're playing against and adjusting accordingly. If you're a pro finding yourself being teamed by a bunch of randoms, then I'd say, some fault lies with you for not knowing what game you were getting yourself into. If it's a free for fall, then it's a free for all to decide whom they need to attack. Besides most pros i've seen in these situations can hold their ground and would even welcome the challenge. I recall Matt and Paff winning a 2v6 on heck vs a bunch of regulars once, but even if they lost, do you think it would be a world shattering victory? It's not like it's a 1v1 or anything. It's a FFG and most good players can only grow stronger from these situations. One last thing is that theres a ton of guys on cncnet that dont even know who the good players are. Some are more popular like @Kikematamitos whom I've heard complain about this very thing you're talking about OP. The thing about him though is the audience he attracts. He gets thousands of views on his YR youtube videos, and i'm sure that brings in a few trolls who will follow him and team against him when they get a chance. From my experience, I rarely see this unfair teaming against pros that you're talking about. Even if it's an FFA and some guy has nickname [RxP]Win2Apoc or whatever. I don't see it happening that much.

Sorry OP, I do understand where you're coming from with this. I just wanted to extend a bit on what Sam-I-am commented about. With that said, I'm no pro, so I wont say which exact mouse I use. Only that it's a generic Logitech I bought at wal-mart for around 15 dollars. Gets the job done. No issues. I've dealt with shitty mouses before, and it's the worst for proper game-play.

Same thing with musical instruments. Most pro guitar players know that if Eddie Van Halen were to pickup any random guitar he'd still sound like Eddie Van Halen. Yet the nobos were still paying thousands for replicas of his exact guitars just to try to sound like him. Ok, you might get closer to his guitar tone, but are you a multi-hit composer now? Skill comes first then the toy.

How do i add new Ra2 or YR maps to the game?
aWarNoob1 replied to wolfgang953's topic in RA2/YR Maps
Did you install YR through Origin Games? First things first is locating the game directory and custom maps folder. Then, whatever new map you've created will have to end with extension .map for the cncnet client to read it. -
I bet everyone always selects No Spy.

It seems this channel was revived about a week ago. I just now heard of it. Subscribed!

How much would it cost for an app version of the CnCNet website, and would it be possible to make this happen through fundraising means? I presume the admins would oversee such a project. The reason I bring this idea up is because I believe it'd be the best way to increase forum activity. It seems as though most posts on here are related to maps and technical issues and not so much on random fun stuff, which is fine, but the activity is also disproportionate to the many players you find on the client. Some enticing features could be personal messaging and real time chatting with other players. This way you can stay in conversations with other users, on your phone, while playing ingame. Maybe even a separate client lobby interface on the app. I know many YR players already use discord for messaging purposes, but it could be better to have it all done through official CnCNet means. Sorry, I know nothing about programing, so I don't know how much of a pipe dream this ultimately is. I also understand that the cost to create an app could be prohibitively expensive. I would love for someone who is in the 'know how' to weigh in.

Can we get the full soundtrack back into the YR gamemode?
aWarNoob1 replied to aWarNoob1's topic in Red Alert 2
Yes, more people need to speak up about these things. So far the admins haven't even responded to the upsurge of loading/connection issues, which I think is a far more pressing problem. Hopefully they can drop a comment informing us that they're at least aware of these issues. -

No ones posted about it. That's different. -

aWarNoob1 replied to aWarNoob1's topic in Red Alert 2
Yeah, but thats a cheap fix. The point is for the entire community to enjoy these tracks. This would mean the Cncnet admins releasing a new client update making this change happen. I know i've heard these tracks a million times, and yet I still like them. Also the replayability factor goes up when we're dealing with 25 total tracks as opposed to only the 9 tracks we currently have on YR. -

aWarNoob1 replied to aWarNoob1's topic in Red Alert 2
Nothing the matter with the YR soundtrack. I just don't understand how in this case 'less is more' Why would they remove the Ra2 tracks? Was there people complaining about the Ra2 tracks being in the YR game? No. Was having the Ra2 tracks in the YR gamemode causing performance issues? I doubt it. There was no reason why they should have removed them. I say bring them back. -
There's a number of people reporting connection issues since the previous client update. Hopefully the admins will release a fix soon. In the meantime try other work arounds. To me it sounds like you might have your firewall blocking the game? Have you tried hosting the gameroom yourself and running alternate tunnel servers? Also try running the game on a different PC.

Is It worth it to spam Tank Destroyers vs Enemy Tanks/Vehicles?
aWarNoob1 replied to XGalaxyZ's topic in Red Alert 2
I played some maps with @[CC] RaVaGe yesterday where the tank destroyers had more strength. It was interesting. It made me realize how this particular unit had the potential to be useful had Westwood amp'd them just a tad bit. Only thing was, this time i think they were too OP. I wasn't expecting it, so I let my rhinos go in and be slaughtered by em. Oh well, was GGs. -
Cutting the Ra2 soundtrack from the main-game was a big mistake. I understand trying to keep it true to the original, but just not in this case. Most players only play YR and will rarely have a chance to enjoy the rest of these great tunes. Having the full soundtrack with the main game was a welcomed feature that needs to be brought back. I'm sure many Cncnet players would agree. +1 for Hm2 and Grinder Frank Klepacki is Legend

Can someone make a highreso preview for this map?
aWarNoob1 replied to aWarNoob1's topic in RA2/YR Maps
Hell yeah! thank you YosefAnan! Could you link me to your youtube tutorial for writing onto minimaps ? Edit: Nvm i found it
