Luminar Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It have got only Hard AI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminar Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I only have 1 stable skirmish AI, which will build light factory earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminar Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 yes, it must be somewhere in the game .dat because online/skirmish are using the same .mis file :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feda Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyerguds Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 ...you don't seem to follow the community very much. TD is preactically dead on cncnet.

FunkyFr3sh Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyFr3sh Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 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:Dune2000LauncherDune2000ConfigCnCNet5 Download: http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/files/Dune2000StarterKit.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
