Tiberian Sun Beta Test
Subject description: invite only - this weekend
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
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. QUICK_EDIT
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. QUICK_EDIT

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

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.
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. QUICK_EDIT
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 was active when Westwod Online (WOL) still existed. But when WOL shutdown and EA gave XWIS responsibility for the Westwood games it was disabled.
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.
i actually just reinstalled from my original NOD disc lol

spots are filling for the beta, if you'd like to participate this weekend don't forget to email cncevo@gmail.com with your nick and a brief description as to why you would make a good candidate. QUICK_EDIT
Sean, im a good candidate because i know a lot about the Tiberian Sun executable, so i can help on the data being sent/requested. I would like to get WDT working again. QUICK_EDIT
lol feel free to register there and tell chris to fix his post!

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 QUICK_EDIT
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? _________________ Victory! QUICK_EDIT

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 QUICK_EDIT
