zamboe Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 This is the link of the ladder in case you want to know,http://xccu.sourceforge.net/xcl/?lid=ebfdstill means nothing though since rules are not defined yet.Interesting that we can see which houses one player have used.

Ice_Cube Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Make sure you don't download the file with any download manager like DAP as this may corrupt the file (maybe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel71 Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Usage:Open XCL ProxyAdd the following line to your hosts file: 127.0.0.1 games2.westwood.comPlayRemove the line you added from your hosts fileClose XCL ProxyCould u be more specific what i have to do to play a game for the ladder?And do i need to change something back if i just want to play custom game?

Gobalopper Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 What OS are you using?The program should automatically add that line so you may not have to do that, if you do just find your hosts file and add it manually. And all you have to do is run program in the background when playing a game. If you don't want the game to count on the ladder you don't run XCL_Proxy.

Ice_Cube Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Simple I know, but are you sure you have winzip installed (or a similar program) so you can extract the folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraith126 Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 ive had a look at the ladder and i dont understand how ir works?how do i know who was with who, and who won? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraith126 Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 ive just played my 1st laddered game (the new 1 anyway), i won :) :D :)the new ladder system is pretty simple.when will we be able to see the ranks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraith126 Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 what does it mean when the names are green,yellow and red?how do we see whos won?how do we know who was allied with who?i know ive posted this elsewere but im so impatient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Well I don't know for sure yet but the green means win, red loss, and yellow I'm not sure yet. I think yellow is when someone quits.Can you explain your last game wraith? It looks like the results were a little odd. Did someone quit? Who should have won?http://www.dune2k.com/ladder/?idno=109887851 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite47 Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 doesnt it get cleaned when u run 'disk cleanup'?

Ice_Cube Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 You know what nema is like ;)Anyways, to clear your cache, in Internet Explorer go:Tools => Internet options... => then under temperary internet files click "delete files". And if you want some free space, click clear cookies and history too ;D P.S. Do not worry about deleting important files, they are all temperary and are safe to delete.

Harkdawg Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 So let me get this straight, u cant extract the zip file right now ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlyPIG Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Well, the problem certainly isn't the zip file...Perhaps it's your WinZip? Can you extract other zip files?At any rate, I'd advise you to kill winzip which is a trial license and replace it with Power Archiver which is free and better anyway. If that doesn't work I suppose one of us can upload the XCL_Proxy.exe file to a personal server so you can download it.Also make sure you're downloading this version:http://www.dune2k.com/?page=download&id=715If you download it the necessary hosts line should already be in your system from Emperor, so just turn it on and leave it on while you play.

zamboe Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Nice too see the interest in fed2k's ladder, it will be fun and I expect good games, on my side I'll try my best.btw, I think the first champ title should go to Gob and Olaf for making this happen.
