Milkey Wilkey Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm using wsock from lan patch to play with frends in non-yr mods, like 1.007 patch. will it be restored after closing cncnet? no music? I was a bit disappointed. instead of merging ra2 and yr playlists cncnet has no tracks at all. why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkey Wilkey Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 also, what is brutal ai? isn't original brutal ai was just a hard difficulty? so now it also has 50k money at the start or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fir3w0rx Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 About the classic RA2 mode... the Industrial Plant and Robot Control Center are not in RA2. Not really important but some units still have YR voices like the -MCV -War Miner -Aircraft Carrier Everything else that I've seen so far seems ok.

I was a bit disappointed. instead of merging ra2 and yr playlists cncnet has no tracks at all. why? Well no, tbh that dll shouldn't even work on anything later than XP in the first place anymore. Huh? The YR tracks are there, nothing changed there. It's not that simple, the game loads thememd.mix, it only falls back to theme.mix when thememd.mix is missing. Unless someone figures out how to hack it to get the game to load both mixes nothing can be done about it, because we are not going to pack 75 extra MB just for music, the client is supposed to be lightweight.

Don't see a point in going back to the generic vehicle sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that simple, the game loads thememd.mix, it only falls back to theme.mix when thememd.mix is missing. are you serious? we play through hamachi and on real lan with that dll, all having windows 7, because there is no other real options to play ra2 mods, what are you talking about? without it network button does not even work. And I have music in normal game, but when launched with cncnet it gave me empty playlist. Unless someone figures out how to hack it to get the game to load both mixes nothing can be done about it, because we are not going to pack 75 extra MB just for music, the client is supposed to be lightweight. eh, YR playlist manager?

Rampastring Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 @tomsons26: The wsock32.dll works on everything prior to Windows 10. For CnCNet it's unnecessary and just causes problems though, so I made the client remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll work on a solution to such in a future update, but currently there were too many players complaining of errors caused by wsock32.dll so we've had to remove.

GertJanA Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 "- Improved the conditions for when players get the "Modified files detected" message to avoid false positives" I installed Red Alert 2 and CNCnet today. Keep getting kicked with the above message... Tried to uninstall, delete all leftover files, reinstall, still getting kicked. Something went wrong with the bugfix?

PrezSpammer Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Once again, it's great for what it is however I'd like to see more maps added to Meat Grinder and also make mod maps available under Unholy Alliance. I'm not sure if this was fixed yet in 1.87 but I tried hosting Extra Small with RA2 mode enabled and got an internal error right as the load screen appears; one thing though is that in both instances, "No Spawn Previews" was enabled... so perhaps that particular combination triggered the errors? For the next major update, I'd like to see more Game Lobby options (actually, mostly filters): -All random Positions -- when enabled, make an expandable option so that on any setting except FFA, it automatically knows which team to place each player... or perhaps have choices like LvR, TvB, 3v1, 4v2 etc. -Allied/Soviet only with two options: 1. Players or Host choose countries 2. Random -Yuri only -- players cannot select a different country -When crates are turned on, make these options available: 1. No Yuri MCV 2. Matching MCV from crates: The only MCVs that players can acquire from crates are the same as what they started with. For example, if someone starts out with a Soviet country, as far as MCV crates are concerned, they will not be able to acquire an Allied or Yuri MCV. 3. Be able to adjust the abundance of crates, perhaps have choices like this: A. Normal, B. Minimal, C. Double, D. Triple, etc. Imagine being able to play other official maps besides ToE where there's lots of crates! -Miners From Factory First (up to 3): Before any other vehicle can be built, you must first build the minimum number of miners required, which is set by host. It'll still let you queue other vehicles but the game will not allow them to start being made until the last required miner is ready. -No spying factories or barracks (primarily for ToE and possibly custom crate maps) -No Navy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puzzabug Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'd agree with renaming wsock32.dll to wsock32.dll.renamed or something. I use it a lot for lan parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
