Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, Dune 2000 (+ Mods)

 

 

Linux (Ubuntu) example:

sudo apt-get install libmono-system-core4.0-cil mono-runtime

wget http://downloads.cncnet.org/cncnet-server.exe

nohup mono cncnet-server.exe --name "My cool server" --maxclients 200 --port 50001 > cncnet-server.log &

 

 

Note: Newer Mono versions are bugged and can't be used, please stick to 5.14 or below.

 

 

 

Windows:

On XP, Vista and 7 make sure .NET 4.0 is installed: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=17113

Download the server and start it: http://downloads.cncnet.org/cncnet-server-gui.exe

 

 

Note: Servers are chosen automatically by CnCNet and are only used in case 2 players fail to establish a Peer-To-Peer connection.

Linux autostart

crontab -e

@reboot nohup mono ~/cncnet-server.exe --name "My cool server" --maxclients 100 --port 50001 > ~/cncnet-server.log &

 

 

 

The servers will not show up instantly on the website, it can take up to 30 minutes
