Grant Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Hello, Welcome to our new CnCNet website. Further to our forums update the other week, we've now set our new website live too! Take a look! New features coming soon: Multi-lingual support New Player Online graphs New Twitch.tv Live page Big thanks to everyone who helped out. @hifi @Tore @tomsons26 @FunkyFr3sh @Speeder @Ferret Let us know what you think, and if you spot something out of place or incorrect, let us know. 1
Plokite_Wolf Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 The general design is pretty good, well done to everyone involved! It's also nice to once again see a Renegade server list. The only thing I'd change are the somewhat misleading (especially in the case of RA2/YR/Ren) "Download & Play Online, Free" buttons. Why not change that text to simply "Download Client" or something? 1
Rampastring Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) https://cncnet.org/download "Download & Play Online Free." For free. The same also applies to all the different game download pages. Edited April 23, 2017 by Rampastring

The same also applies to all the different game download pages. It still kinda hints at free releases of RA2/YR/Ren, which don't exist I get what you guys are trying to do with that, but that particular wording can't go right in this case. (I also can't think of a reputable game server that you have to pay for.)
Iran Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Could you add a seperate page/menu link item for the renegade servers list instead of putting it under downloads?

(I also can't think of a reputable game server that you have to pay for.) I was just complaining about the grammatical error. Seeing such mistakes on an otherwise very nicely done site hurts my brain. Especially when this is probably the 4th time I've pointed it out to Grant. Oh and also the DTA link on the downloads page leads into a 404, because it points to Dawn of the Tiberian Age instead of Dawn of the Tiberium Age. https://cncnet.org/download Edited April 24, 2017 by Rampastring
Grant Posted April 30, 2017 Author Posted April 30, 2017 Twitch.tv Livestreams are now available again at /live. Forums will also see this update later today.

Why not change that text to simply "Download Client" or something? It's pretty much a copy from the last site in that respect. I'm going to apply some changes to make this more clear. Edit: I've updated the site copy for RA2/YR/Ren to be a little more clear. It might take a couple of hours for cache to clear.
Rampastring Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 I miss the network status graph. Especially the one from 2013 or something when it showed the activity separately for each game. 2

It was awesome to see exactly what time of day Tiberian Sun peaked, so I could play during those peaks and not waste my time waiting on games!
Grant Posted May 8, 2017 Author Posted May 8, 2017 I've added the old sites work in progress graph that never really got seen. It still needs improving, and the stats it's reading is missing Mental Omega. Should fill the void for now. (When cache clears in a couple of hours)
riderr3 Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Hmm... this design is almost similar like doomworld (they updated the forums in march)

Grant Posted June 11, 2017 Author Posted June 11, 2017 I had a spare license just doing nothing from past work. IPB is so much more feature rich and user friendly than the previous software. Plus the conversion has transitioned well I believe.
Grant Posted June 16, 2017 Author Posted June 16, 2017 A new addition to the homepage includes a featured videos section, currently showcasing the latest videos from our official YouTube channel. We'll also be looking to feature some video content from the community channels too, though this is not yet implemented.
Plokite_Wolf Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Nice stuff! Noticed a bit of an error on the site, though. The Renegade list says that TT scripts 4.0 are required for multiplayer, although the official TT website has 4.3. Also, a link to it would help people get patched up.

Grant Posted June 18, 2017 Author Posted June 18, 2017 Thanks - I've updated the page to include a link to TT scripts.
