What is the purpose of Command Post, and what problems does it address?

Command Post is a one-stop portal for managing Replays, Custom Maps, Mods/Patches, and Mod Maps for KW. It addresses the problem of sharing and managing non-transferable game content and ensures your maps and mods are always updated to the latest versions. It also supports replay analysis, automated tournaments, match history, player statistics, ladders, and VPN servers for LAN play.

I know of Replays, Custom Maps or Patches... but what exactly are Mod Maps?

Mod Maps are enhanced Custom Maps that allow adding or modifying game assets directly into maps, enabling features without switching patches. Command Post simplifies the process of installing, updating, and managing Mod Maps.

Is this a replacement for C&C-Online/Revora to play multiplayer games?

No, Command Post is not a replacement or affiliated with C&C-Online/Revora. You still need C&C-Online/Revora to play online. However, Command Post provides VPN services for LAN multiplayer.

Can uploaded replays or mods on Command Post be shared by links?

Yes, Command Post lets you copy links for any uploaded content and share them. Pasting these links in the Command Post search bar or a web browser will direct the user to the specific content.

I want to create my own mappack with changes applied from the 1.02+ Patch. Is this possible via Command Post?

Yes! Command Post's ModMap Builder allows you to compile mappacks using downloadable asset packs and integrate changes like 1.02+ updates, weather effects, or new crystals.

How does Command Post's player rank/ladder system work?

Ladders for 1v1 and 2v2 are available for both online and network modes. Matches count for ranking only if all players use Command Post. 1v1 ladders use ELO points calculation.

Does Command Post require an Internet connection to work?

Internet is required for updated content and most features, but local files like replays and installed patches are viewable offline.

Phone notifications from Command Post... that's a thing?

Yes, if you enable notifications for the website on your phone browser and are a registered Command Post user, you can receive notifications.

Go to 'VPN Servers' tab, install OpenVPN, and connect to a server. Then play using Network mode in-game.

My game crashes when trying to go Online. How to fix this?

Install the C&C Online Tacitus Launcher. If the issue persists, try changing your online nickname or create a new profile.

Use a VPN service to resolve router/ISP-related connectivity issues. Command Post VPN is only for LAN play.

I have the 1.02+ Patch installed and enabled, but the rooms online seem grayed out so I can't join them.

Most online players use vanilla 1.02. Disable patches and ensure 1.02+ Mappacks are installed to join rooms.

I have no patches/mods enabled, but the rooms online still seem grayed out.

You might be running EA's 1.03 patch. Set your game version to 1.02 using Command Post's Game Launch Options.

I have One Vision Mod enabled under Command Post's Patches tab, but it still launches the vanilla game.

Likely due to running EA/Official 1.03 Patch. Use Game Launch Options to set your version properly.
