Love playing C&C online? CnCNet relies on donations to keep running.
We haven't posted much news or major updates lately, but we've been working on several things behind the scenes. Here's a recap of some recent progress on CnCNet and related projects as well as events in our game communities.
CnCNet - in development
- Ranked Match client update - ability to queue all ranked ladders at once, with Sneer
- A new map database browser - follow the project-development chat with yuris-director, Zordon.
- A rewrite of the Yuri’s Revenge Spawner in C++, with Belonit
- CnCNet Client .NET 7, now available for testing. More info in the Red Alert 2 channel on the CnCNet Discord. Credits: RanSacker for core implementation; devo1929, Kerbiter, Rampastring, SadPencil and Starkku for implementation support.
CnCNet - recent releases
- Ranked matches are divided into two leagues for Yuri’s Revenge - Champions and Contenders League. Contenders league allows newer players to compete in matches against similar skilled players.
- Ranked matches can be observed by a small vetted list of CnCNet streamers.
- Red Alert 2 Mode - Fixes Dog and Flak trooper behaviour, as per original Red Alert 2 gameplay. When dogs & Flak troopers are stationary, attacked, then commanded to move, they start running (crawling for Flak Trooper) and get a speed boost. Credits Belonit & Starkku
