[Feda]

outstanding job funky!

[youcef]

Yea, its cool !

[FunkyFr3sh]

Now with map previews in the game room, yay!

 

[Luminar]

It have got only Hard AI?

[FunkyFr3sh]

currently, yes :) i didnt look into the AI stuff yet, but i will (if possible) add options to change the difficulty/side/color for each AI player separately

[Luminar]

I only have 1 stable skirmish AI, which will build light factory earlier.

[FunkyFr3sh]

I heard the online AI is much harder than skirmish, i still need to test this :) I would try to enable the online AI for skirmish if possible

 

but you can use your own custom ai in this lobby too, the file is named _SPAWN.mis for cncnet, you will need to reanme your _PRAC.mis if you like to play it in the new lobby

[Luminar]

If the online AI is different than the skirmish AI, it is stored inside the dat file, because it is not inside the prac.mis file.

[FunkyFr3sh]

yes, it must be somewhere in the game .dat because online/skirmish are using the same .mis file :)

[Feda]

It uses same build order, so the difference comes in speed of building and somehow bigger attacks. Yeah, must be some check in .dat that increases AI production if players >=2, idk, just thinking :D

[FunkyFr3sh]

Good job funky with all your work , you just unsleep my dune spirit , hehe maybe I will decide to come back and play some games, see ya :)

thanks :D ya, would be cool to see you around and play some games

Take that Tiberian Dawn!

Take that Tiberian Dawn!

...you don't seem to follow the community very much. TD is practically dead on cncnet. It's RA that has hundreds of games.

Yea I follow the charts on CnCNet. I set our bar low since red alert has over 100 active players at any given time :P .

Update:

the handicap setting has been added (finally!)

 

Skirmish has been changed, i gave the AI players a money boost and removed some checks to try to get them as good as in online games. cncnet skirmish works now different than the normal skirmish, in the normal skirmish the Easy/Med/Hard setting is changing the handicap of the player (different prices) and it does also change the way the ai behaves, i wanted to have the handicap setting separated from the ai difficulty :D Now you can change your handicap to 1star (easy) and play with low prices but at the same time keep the AI at the Hard difficulty.

 

Go ahead and try it out, the cncnet skirmish AI is now much better than the original one!

Dato was sending me some graphics and asked me to create a game launcher with those, i turned it into a CnCNet starter kit for all those who already have the game.

 

The package contains:

Dune2000Launcher

Dune2000Config

CnCNet5

Isn't CnCNet already a launcher?

[FunkyFr3sh]

yes somewhat

[FunkyFr3sh]

Update:

 

You can now change the difficulty of each AI player separately. It is also possible to choose the side of each AI player now! This feature works in all modes Skirmish/LAN/Online

 

[djbaskan60]

good idea,  with allied play ( pc ) is this possible ?
