How to add CnCNet Online/LAN/Skirmish support to any old existing or newly created mod.

Below you can find a tutorial about adding support for any mod to CnCNet. No matter if you created the mod or if it's a random mod you found somewhere on the internet. Make sure you check the README.txt.

http://downloads.cncnet.org/ExampleMod.zip

Works for Tiberian Sun, Red Alert and Tiberian Dawn.

Note:
This is using my client, not rampa's client.

Differences: My main focus lies on simplicity, you just drop a few files into your game folder and play any mod you like online. You don't have to code an updater, you don't have to buy a server to push updates etc... My client will update itself, but won't touch your mod files, you set it up once and you'll have multiplayer support for many years to come without the need to take care of anything.

If you're just into singleplayer then use rampa's client instead, it offers way more modding features Smile

Is the source code available for your client?

Why not make the example just for TS and include all the needed files like the mix files, INI files etc. in the pack itself? Let it check only for updates.

You can also use my client without an update server. Your mod just won't automatically update then.

This is still nice for simple rules.ini and MIX based mods though.
