CnCNet Leaderboard

This is an open source WOL leaderboard emulator for legacy Westwood Studios games; specifically, those hosted by CnCNet. Ideally though, this application should work with any client sending WOLv1 or WOLv2 Game Resolution packets. This application serves several REST API endpoints (documented below) to consume and post leaderboard data.

Games Supported

• Red Alert
• Red Alert: The Aftermath
• Tiberian Sun
• Tiberian Sun: Firestorm
• Red Alert 2
• Yuri's Revenge
• Tiberian Dawn
• Dune 2000

Usage

1. npm install --production
2. npm start

REST API Endpoints

There's a few params listed below.

• :game can be any of the following ^(td|d2k?|ra2?|ts|dta|fs|yr|am)$
• :gameId can only be numeric (\d+)
• :player and :clan can be alpha-numeric with some special characters (\w\d\[\])

General Endpoints

• GET /ping to ensure that the server is online

Leaderboard Endpoints

• POST /ladder/:game accepts gameres packet (via POST body) for the supplied :game
• GET /ladder/:game will return the top 150 leaderboard players for the supplied :game
• GET /ladder/:game/game/:gameId will return all data for a given :gameId
• GET /ladder/:game/player/:player will return most data for given :player

Clan Endpoints

URL /ladder/:game/clan/:clan is used for the following methods. Most of these endpoints require authorization similar to Player Authentication.

• GET will return most data for the given :clan (does not require auth)
• PUT create the given :clan
• POST will join, part or modify (supplied to action query) the given :clan
• DELETE permanently delete the given :clan

Player Authentication

• GET /auth/:player HTTP authentication using Account credentials

Successful authentication of this endpoint will return an JSON Web Token which can be used to call subsequent endpoints which require auth. This endpoint uses basic HTTP authentication.

example player auth request

curl -isu Tahj:MyPassword http://localhost:4007/auth/tahj3z

Account Creation

• PUT /auth/:player using HTTP authentication

Accounts can be created using this endpoint. After an account has been created, users can then proceed to login using the Player Authentication endpoint above. Future iterations will allow consumers to additionally update Account information using this endpoint.
