Subject description: invite only - this weekend
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

cnc:evo is going to be hosting an invite only beta for a tiberian sun server this weekend. the purpose of which is to collect technical information such as bandwidth statistics and how well the server handles traffic. the invited party will be assigned pre-registered nicks as no personal information will be collected. in addition, the selected users will be rewarded with a Beta Tester achievement; only obtainable via attendance this weekend. however, two notable features will not be present: clans or the ladder system - they will however be available once the server goes live. ultimately, we would like as many players to participate and essentially provide the tiberian sun community with a much needed community supported server Smile

beta times:
Saturday July 10th 6:00am - 11:59pm EST
Sunday July 11th 7:00am - 10:00pm EST

as stated, this will be an invite only beta open to a limited group of people. if you are interested in becoming a participant in this beta please email cncevo@gmail.com with your current tiberian sun nick and why you would like to be a participant.

Does your server intend to support World Domination Tour? Such an interesting feature isn't supported on XWIS and would really let your server stand apart, which could do amazing things for the number of users.

If this happens, I will erect a statue for you.

just a statue? A monument!
Seriously, it would be awesome, but I doubt that it will be realized ...

hmm..that's very interesting indeed. im assuming a "World Domination Tour" feature would be something similar to matchmaking? that's an absolutely amazing idea! i could be misinterpreting though, so if you could please elaborate a bit further, i would greatly appreciate it. Smile

either way, i like the idea ( keep them coming ) - just wish i would have posted here sooner; might have been able to implement this prior to the beta

wait, this isn't ST haha. if new ideas are presented that will help keep things fresh with no substantial drawbacks, there's no reason why they shouldn't be implemented.

the world dominion feature was included in FS, though it was never online. Is the code for it even actually in FS implemented?

World Domination Tour did work, and was awesome... *memorys*

Im not sure how it will fair though because there is no way to actually get a response from the original Westwood Servers, now XWIS...

World Domination Tour was active when Westwod Online (WOL) still existed. But when WOL shutdown and EA gave XWIS responsibility for the Westwood games it was disabled.

And I see you guys are using EA's freeware release of TS. This could probably be a better alternative: http://www.cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=41

hmm.. according to gamespy -
Quote:
2. What is the World Domination mode?

World Domination Tour functions as a graphical ladder, where players fight in contested zones and we tally up the scores at the end of the day and award control of that zone to whichever side has more victories. As the game progresses, the battle lines are advanced until one side takes over everything, at which point the battle is reset and begins again.


logically, this shouldn't be very difficult to incorporate; would definitely take some time though - it sounds like an awesome idea. if anyone has a vivid description as to how this worked in the past, im sure we could come up with a working replica or at least come close.

excellent! you would be the ideal beta candidate. if you could just email cncevo@gmail.com - it'd make it so much easier for me when creating nicks for everyone. i will definitely be calling upon your help in getting WDT up and running Smile

Sean, I know you're doing work for Tiberian Sun, but is there a snowball's chance you guys would work on getting... Sole Survivor up?

Don't even bother, several people have tried and failed. The result have always been something like this.

tbh, you saying that just makes motivates me to give it a shot. admittingly, i've never played sole survivor but i can say this: if there was an online server for it at one point - there should be no reason why can't be done again. it would take some time and i would definitely need someone to help that knew how the online feature worked to help guide me but, theoretically it shouldn't be too difficult. if you want PM me and we can talk about it Smile

I think that you shouldn't overreach yourself.
Start one thing, finish it, then move onto something else.
