Anyone know?
hifi from cncnet.org wrote an online server list webpage and a tool that adds support for Renegade:// URI links which loads renegade and connects to a server ip+port supplied in the Renegade:// URI. He did that 3 years ago.
https://github.com/hifi/renlauncher
https://cncnet.org/renegade-servers
It doesn't show any servers as the GSA clone master list URL needs to be updated.
If we can host a download to the game on a third party server like we do with Dune 2000 (which is abandonware and no one even knows who owns the rights to the game), then we can add a menu item on the cncnet.org frontpage for the C&C renegade server list and link the download on the server list page.
It could boost player numbers quite a bit, the cncnet.org site gets a lot of visits and is in the top 3 results if you search for C&C game names on Google for older C&C games up to and including Yuri's Revenge.
I'm just wondering about the legality of it.
