cnc-plugin

stuffin' C&C in your browser

I don't get anything for what I do and everything is released as open source so anyone can continue and hack on my code. But if you like what I do or want to sponsor some particular feature (ask first) I do accept donations!

News

2011-10-16 - Project abandoned

It was a fun hack but doesn't really have a future. Sorry.

2011-08-28 - Finally live!

Ok, time to release! The demo is now up.

It only works on 32 bit Firefox and Chrome on Windows currently.

About

cnc-plugin is a browser plugin for all NPAPI supporting browsers to encapsulate a cnc-ddraw supported game in any web page.

The plugin ONLY works on Windows and with 32-bit browsers (currently). 64-bit support might be possible to add at some point.

Also: Hi, I'm hifi. I made this. I can be found from the CnCNet IRC channel or contacted by mail (address at the bottom of this page). Comments and suggestions welcome.

Note: This project is still a work in progress! It might crash or do other undesirable things at the moment.

Features

• Any cnc-ddraw game support
• cnc-ddraw cursor locking/unlocking
• Can be installed anywhere as long as the browser finds it (MozillaPlugins registry recommended for non-extension installation)
• Configurable for any game without recompiling
• Firefox supported
• Chrome supported
• Opera supported (currently no way to *install*)
• Installing and updating game data over the internet
• Reference Mozilla/Chrome extension for easy installing with RA support

Multiple games running at the same time is not currently supported or planned.

TODO

• See if 64-bit support is possible (I don't have a 64-bit Windows so this is a hard one)
• See if getting it work on 32-bit IE is possible (gratz)
• Implement some window management hacks in cnc-ddraw and make a patch for Red Alert's sound problem
