Hi
I just registered an account here. I created that site & guide today... I've also created a quick spam-bot in 2vs2 chat room of generals online to inform everyone. I set it loose every few hours The way I see it is I don't want Generals to just... die...... I've been playing it since 2003. I now play it on Gameranger and have been doing so for a couple of years. When I saw the news, I thought others might want to know about it, and that with programs like Gameranger they could continue playing. My only intentions are to keep the game and its community alive.
Someone wrote to me (in generals online chat) that the creators of GenTool are working on something to keep online play working. Is this true? Or was he just speculating?
Also, when it comes to the 'crack', it's just what I use to play the game. I'm a bit busy now, so I don't have time to write a detailed guide and test for the optimal possibilities. I wrote this quickly in a matter of minutes in order to get the information out there. I'm not sure if the crack causes connection errors or version mismatches in LAN (using Gameranger), but my guess would be that it does.
Anyway if anyone has a better alternative to Gameranger, I can put it up on the site. My plan is to let my spam-bot continue over the month, just to make sure as many people are informed as possible.
If this cancellation does not affect Generals, please let me know so I can update my information accordingly.
Thanks guys, love the site & forums
