I've started making special RA3 client.

For now it's called "storyboardcreativity ra3-net-client".

You can support me here, if you want: https://ko-fi.com/storyboardcreativity

Features in the future:

- Works MUCH FASTER than original RA3 client
- You don't need to wait for RA3 client start just to watch player list or current active game rooms
- You can minimize client window fast (no more resolution changes or glitches with original RA3 each time you minimize it using "windows"-button on the keyboard)
- You don't need to start RA3 game for using lobby chat or selecting game room
- You can chat WITHOUT starting RA3
- You can select game rooms WITHOUT starting RA3
- All features are RA3-compatible (RA3 users will see your messages and joining the rooms like you do it form RA3)
- You will be able to set notifications for each time when special room is created by somebody (with special map, for example)
 

Final goal (main feature):

- You will use ra3-net-client INSTEAD of old slow game client that full of bugs - RA3 will start automatically and connect to server when room starts the game

 

 

All development source code is published here:
https://github.com/s.../ra3-net-client

I thought C&C Online has this after Gamespy was no more. Couldn't you merge this implementation with C&C Online as a separate load entity?

This code is a separate client for any internet RA3 server implementation. It can work with C&C Online servers too.
My code can work even if you don't have real RA3 on your PC. I think, they can use my code if they want.

Can this possibly used on linux or macos? I’ve gotten RA3 running just fine but was unable to get the online launcher to start the game due to the required hooking process for ra3 installed via steam.

Code can be built under Linux
