  3. C&C Remastered Celebration Events!

    in Community News

    Posted

    Hello folks!

    A few weeks ago, EA has announced that they are working together with Petroglyph to create Remastered editions of C&C and Red Alert 1.
    To celebrate this (as well as the recent start of the 2018 IotY awards), we are going run a competition! A competition that all of you can win by playing our games.

    Competition Time!To win the competition, over the course of the next 3 weeks, you can submit screenshots from the following games:

    • Interim Apex
    • Red Alert: A Path Beyond
    • Expansive Civilian Warfare

    Screenshots must be taken in the currently released version of each game (so no old Delta, 9935, Beta or Gamma screenshots please!) If a new version of any of the games is released during the event, screenshots from the previous version will still count.

    To take a screenshot, just head in-game and press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. Your pictures will end up in your Documents/W3D Hub folder. Then, upload your screenshots into this thread. 

    You may only submit up to 5 screenshots per day!

    Bonus points will be awarded for screenshots taken without the HUD on (press F8, enter 'HUD 0'. (without quotes) then Enter).

    From all of the screenshots posted, we will collectively decide the winners.

    The competition will close on Sunday the 23rd of December at 00:00 GMT.
     

    Prizes!The top 3 players (with the best screenshot submissions) will receive a poster of their choice (first come first served) and a key to the C&C Ultimate Collection on Origin!

    Here are the poster choices. These have been put together by Chronoshift's very own @CCHyper!

    You don't need Renegade for any of the games in the launcher, but you do need to install games from the Games tab.

  9. Dogs In APB: A Discussion

    That could work on some maps, e.g. infantry only ones or with special objective. But on AOW with vehicles players should choose to control them as it would be a problem to drag pets in vehicles. Plus is fun to play as dog as seen in AR.

     

    Testers agreed that it is not fun right now. Being under work.

  12. Server Side Modifications with TTFS

    in Server Side

    Posted

    Author: moonsense715

    Skill level: 4

     

    Introduction

    This tutorial will show you how to allow players to play with custom content on your server, without affecting their core game files.

    What does this mean? You can modify maps, preset settings, everything on your server (with the exception of client-side script updates). When players join your server, the custom content will be downloaded for them automatically on the "Joining Game" screen. If they hop on to other servers or you disable the custom content, then the clients will play normally, without the modifications.

    This can be ideal if:

    1. You run a server and want to change lots of things, but have no means to update the core game files of clients (e.g. a C&C Renegade server).
    2. There is a special event (Halloween, Christmas, Game Night, etc.) and you want to put custom models, sounds, etc. on a server but only temporarily.
    3. You are a developer, want to change lots of balance settings, distribute the changes to testers VERY fast, then do it again 10 minutes later, etc.

     

    For this tutorial we will distribute a custom objects.ddb file to players.

     

    1. Prepare your files

    After you're done with your changes in LevelEdit/Mammoth, save your objects. Then, create a totally empty level.
    I named mine ObjectsMix.lvl and exported it to ObjectsMix.mix (try to avoid name conflicting, objects.mix and objects.ddb might not like eachother).

    Now this is a completely empty level. If the level does not contain your new objects.ddb yet, use XCC mixer or RenegadeEx to put your modified objects.ddb into this mix file.

    Your file is complete, named ObjectsMix.mix.

     

    2. Create the package for players

    To play your custom modifications, players will need to download special package files. For them (the players), these will NOT be downloaded to their game files (Data) folder nor their Documents folder, but rather to AppData\Roaming or somewhere else.

    Copy your ObjectsMix.mix next to your FDS (the game server), next to the server executable file (e.g. server.exe). You should have serverside script files already if you run a server, along with PackageEditor.exe. If you don't, get them (ssgm files).

    Stop your server and open a command line in this directory.
    Enter these commands: 

    PackageEditor uninstall "ObjectsMix"
PackageEditor update "ObjectsMix.mix" 1.0 Westwood

    The first line makes sure any previously installed packages with the same name are gone.
    The second command installs your package. You can change the version and the author name if you want, but it's not necessary.

     

    3. Upload your package to a server

    You need a web server to upload your ttfs packages to. Your game server will tell the players' clients to go here and download any needed packages. 

    Grab the generated ttfs folder from your game server directory (it will be next to the debug folder, search for it), and upload it to your web server. It should be reachable via http calls and the file lists must be viewable inside the ttfs folder.
    For example, you could put them here: http://mysite.com/ttfs/

    Go ahead and visit the link (well obviously not this one above, but YOUR server's ttfs link). If you can't see the file list, it's setup wrong. Ask your administrator to make it viewable, or add a .htaccess text file inside the ttfs folder and make it contain this single line: 

    Options +Indexes

    Now you should be done.

     

    4. Make your server use the package

    You thought you were done? No! You only created the package so far, now you need to use it.
    Open your tt.cfg file. Take a look at the example below. 

    gameDefinitions:
{
	FirstMap:
	{
		mapName = "RA_FirstMap";
		packages = ["ObjectsMix"];
	};
};

rotation:
[
"FirstMap",
"RA_SecondMap"
];

downloader:
{
	repositoryUrl = "http://mysite.com/ttfs/";
};

    You need to define which maps use this new package (which is just a modified objects.ddb file essentially).
    Do this in gameDefinitions. In the example, one map (RA2_FirstMap) uses it only. If you want all maps to use it, add them all to the gameDefinitions in a similar way.
    The mapName is the full name, the packages can contain multiple packages, separated by commas. Remove the prefix from the rotation if you have a game definition for a map.
    NOTE: If you are trying to just add a new MAP that players need to download, just make the mapName and packages the same (e.g. packages = ["RA_FirstMap"]), the map itself is the package in this case

    In the repositoryUrl, define the URL where the players' clients will download your packages from. The link you have from Step 3 should go here.

    Make sure to restart your server after you've modified tt.cfg!

     

    Congratulations! Players who join your server will automatically download the packages you defined.

    If you want to stop using the custom content on your server, just remove ObjectsMix from the packages in gameDefinitions.

    why does not my rank come up :(

     :)

    What problems do you have with your rank?
    I suppose you are talking about the ranking system on the APB server?
    If so, make sure you play a game with at least 4 players ingame, and do not leave the server until the next map loads.
