How To Make a MOD For Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge

[hellever85]

can you show it on windows 7 ?



[WARDEATHFUN]

@hellever85 maybe some day. By the time I actually get Windows 7, this game will probably have a dead community.

[timmy591]

I have windows 7 and it keeps saying: Doesn't responce(english is bad) What can i do?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@timmy591 No idea. Try changing compatibility, security, etc under properties of whatever program is giving you problems.

[KirbyWithAGun]

@NiTrodynamite either you didnt update to 1.001 or you did something else wrong completely. :(

[winterhawk211]

cant find expanddm01 what do i doo reply ASAP plzzzz really need help !!!?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@winterhawk211 download patch.

[1132Jay]

@KirbyWithAGun 0:02

[KirbyWithAGun]

@1132Jay oh shit, i didnt realize that until now O.o

well, I need to remove this video and make a new one completely anyways.

[1132Jay]

your real name is jake studeman @@

[KirbyWithAGun]

@1132Jay uuuh, source? :/

[darkdraco212]

yeah.



[bhanila19]

HOW CAN I change the starting money? I want to make it 50 000 cuz the maximum money is 10 oo at scirmish... tnks in advance

[WARDEATHFUN]

@bhanila19 Ctrl+f without quote "multiplayerd" and Multiplayer control section (dialogue i beleive or something, not important what it is exactly). There is a minimum cash, cash increasment slider, and maximum cash thing. There is also the units slider controls. Test it all out for yourself. Remember that there is limitations.

[darkdraco212]

i can't find expandmd.. help.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@darkdraco212 follow anotations then :) RA2MD.mix is actually the better location, I just was a noob when i made this video. (I think expandmd is in the patch or something.. maybe not in the original yuri;s revenge at all, i dunno.)

[darkdraco212]

@WARDEATHFUN i have tfd too though. but now what should i go too?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@darkdraco212 if you have TFD, you should be able to do it exactly as i did. :(

[darkdraco212]

@WARDEATHFUN it's not working...

[WARDEATHFUN]

@darkdraco212 well, is your yuri;s revenge updated to 1.001?

[rabbitspliff]

right. thanks for drawing to my attention why this other mod by someone who used this to make it won't work for me. damn vista! pile of filth.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@rabbitspliff i use vista and it works perfectly .-.

[AllButJustForgotten]

Thank you wardeathfun :D

[izawa20]

man sorry for being fool^^

now i know tnx^^

[izawa20]

cool man^^ by the way where i can locate the nuke duration where i can edit the clock timer of the nukes^^

[WARDEATHFUN]

@izawa20 go look for nuclear missile, then look at all its tags, there should be a superweapon= tag on there, whatever the superweapon tag says, look for. it should be easy to learn on your own (id tell you what to look for right away, but you wont learn)

[izawa20]

all i can see is the ConquerMD not the one you mentioned

[WARDEATHFUN]

@izawa20 I could be wrong, but I am guessing you dont have 1.001 patch installed :p

Go to RA2MD.mix instead I guess and look for it in there.

[TheGALIL30]

i lov the hellmarch 3 :)

[TheMrRydurr]

does this work for the command and conquer first decade?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@TheMrRydurr yup. The First decade works the same as the original copies.

[leviathon74]

Soylent means how much you get when u sell it or put it thru Yuri's grinder....

[WARDEATHFUN]

@leviathon74 thats right. forgot that. :p

[leviathon74]

Also dude, would u be able to have a look at my AIMD.INI file and see if there is anything wrong with it?

After a while the game slows down to a crawl if i have a yuri in the skirmish game somewhere. Its almost like yuri (or another ai team) is trying to do something but cant, I have added epic units to soviets and allies and other units that are contained in the AIMD.INI file. Was just wondering if you could look at it and soop it up a bit....

[WARDEATHFUN]

@leviathon74 its most likley animation or something. I cant really help by looking for it. The best thing you can do is test every little thing to see where the problem starts.

[antidark001]

Does soylent mean damage?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@antidark001 no... if i recall, it means value but i could be wrong.

[estonia336]

i have a problem when i got to xcc and open i have only ra2md.mix is thad bad or good

[WARDEATHFUN]

@estonia336 neither.

[Crumpleman]

Dammit, sorry for being a noob and all, I am able to place it on the map, but as soon as the plane enters the map, the game would crash. I suppose its a problem with the Custom Actions, can you explain to me the 7 values in the Custom Actions section that I have to put in, cos the NPatch isnt very specific in any way. Lol.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman will, if you copied and pasted the given action, it should of been fine. did you by chance used a custom plane? It may of caused the crash itself.

[Crumpleman]

Forget about what I said 7 hours ago, can you teach me how a make a new paradrop that works and drops vehicles? Can you give me some basic steps?

I tried the one in the Npatch tutorial and i tried to assign it to a war factory. I built it but no power came out. I tried to add vehicles to the American Paradrop but the plane did not arrive to paradrop the vehicles. How?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman well, inside the npatch mdk text file says fairly clear on what to do. I cant help you if that odnt help you since all you do is copy and paste ._. you installed

Npatch right?

[Crumpleman]

@WARDEATHFUN Yea I installed it, now there's a Missing Cameo in the tabs and it says Missing Name:NewParaDrop and when it says READY, I click it but the countdown restarts again and there's no way to place my airdrop.

[Crumpleman]

@WARDDEATHFUN Btw, all I did was just copy that whole chunk from NPatch and add a new super weapon in the super weapon section and went ahead to try.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman thats the action if its re doing its countdown.

[Crumpleman]

Wtf, why is it that after I patch YR and I open RA2MD with XCC Mixer and the things are in numbers? I can still find the files I need but weird.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman you open the right file? :/

[Crumpleman]

Hey, I was thinking of making another airforce command for Britain and it would have a paradrop as a special but I dont want it to have the same one as Americans. So how do I make my new paradrop drop the same way but just different units, what do I have to change. Reply and try it yourself please.

Thanks.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman i already make several paradrops. You must have npatch or some other exe hack. Npatch SE is the best really. Google npatch and go to first link on top, go to downloads, and get npatch se and npatch se mdk. inside the mdk is a tutorial of everything you ever need to know npatch wise.

[Crumpleman]

Hey, uhh, when I open the RA2/YR folder with XCC, I dont have an ExpandMD01 mix file there. Only uh, ConquerMD, ra2md, patchgetmd.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman expandmd01 is only avaialble if you got the patch i beleive. Go for RA2MD.mix instead, search around ;)

[Crumpleman]

@WARDEATHFUN So is it bettter to go for the RA2MD or the ExpandMD01? Cos for my YR to read my modded file, I have to put the ini files into the mix files again, as the game doesnt read the ones that are not in the mix files.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman better to go for RA2MD since its the perfered way of modders and all versions of yuri's revengeh as it. ExpandMD01 is just an easier and quicker way todo it, but a lot of people dont have it i guess.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@TheMirage023 i dont know. lol. i cant understand where your having a problem. your coding everything correct, right?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@TheMirage023 i am relaxed -_- and you either put them in the ecacheXXmd.mix, ExpandXXMD.mix, or just the RA2 folder.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@TheMirage023 the mod you downloaded may have some new mix files like ecache or expand with a number then an MD thing afterwords. the reason npatch does not install is likley because you either pirated yuri's revenge, or some other problem i cant help you with.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@TheMirage023 i suppose. its better to work from scratch first though. gotta learn to basics to get the furthest fastest :p

[EchofinderDJ]

hey i did what you said, download NPATCH SE but when i am going to install it, it says i need RA2YR V1.001, i downloaded the update patch but everytime i try to update it shows a error maybe because i hav a Ripped version of the game so my question is: there is other way to update the game?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@EchofinderDJ dont both spam my video and my inbox. it just makes you look like an impatient dick and someone i dont want to help. it wont make me respond any sooner and if anything, longer because you spam up my email.

[MrDeathsweep3r]

hey dude when i went to xcc mixer and i clicked file i cant click open it wont let me, so what am i gonna do???

[WARDEATHFUN]

cry... i dunno. if you did steps excactly like this and it dont work, try downloading the ini files off the internet.

[ExtremeFaithInJesus]

What program are you using to record what's on screen?

[WARDEATHFUN]

freeze or something. hypercam is better.

[private454]

like even if i put the hell fire in the game said i need to red alert exe

and after that th game wont work (the mod)

[WARDEATHFUN]

you make it sound like its an ra1 mod :/ though im sure it isnt so it shows i dont understand xD

I cant really help you since i have no idea :/ are you running some kind of launcher? the launcher may not be able to find the ra2.exe.. i would place the launcher in the RA2 folder so it find it better... my only guess since i dont know :p

[private454]

how do i add mod on the first decade please make avid

[WARDEATHFUN]

first decade is same as original game.

[bogdanbasag]

thx man :) u are the best ^^

[llouw1]

Does it need internet?

[WARDEATHFUN]

nope. if you have the tools used in the video, internet isnt needed.

[WatFva]

WOHO THANK YOU I BEEN LOOKING FOR HOW TO RUN YURI O VISTA BUT U JUST TOLE ME!!! woho thank you alot

[raguwweveer]

hey guys if u have vista and cant get ra2 or yuri in it

just right click it and click run as administator.....

the game runs.........

it's so sinple..........

[WARDEATHFUN]

im afraid we all know that... we are not discussing th game itself.... but the xcc device.

[BlackViperFilms]

I FIGURED IT OUT, WHEN YOUR ARE IN RA2's folder you just click COMPATABILITY FILES WHICH SHOULD BE LOCATED SOMEWHERE AROUND THE MID RIGHT - TOP RIGHT OF THE PROGRAM. The computer can now see locate and open ini files... i have vista as u can see

[WARDEATHFUN]

make a video. lol.

[BlackViperFilms]

cant open it cuz the comp cant see it or something... ummm is it because im on vista...

[WARDEATHFUN]

top right at very beginning of video is something everyone should of read....

[GARIDxxx]

hello what is the sound name ?

[WARDEATHFUN]

Hell March 3 from frank klepacki :p I forgot to say that in description n_n

[pokemaster77777770]

i cant find ra2md.mix

[pokemaster77777770]

nevermind it wont work i have vista

[WARDEATHFUN]

its in your RA2 folder. Also it works on some vistas... vista ultimate works with this program.

[pokemaster77777770]

thats the problem i cant find the ra2 folder

[WARDEATHFUN]

where did you install it? did you change it at all? if not... then look at the description at the common places of the RA2 folder.

[pokemaster77777770]

found it

[WARDEATHFUN]

if you followed the anotian tags, it should be right next to rules.

[ExtremeFaithInJesus]

Alright, I've figured out how to change the way units attack, but how do I change the way they look?

[WARDEATHFUN]

Image=whatever unit you want (E1,E2,HTNK, etc. put infantry for infantry, tanks for tanks

[ExtremeFaithInJesus]

I'm sorry if I'm getting annoying with all my questions, but how do I make infantry. I thought I had it figured out, but it's not working.

[WARDEATHFUN]

simply copy and paste an existing unit. look for the GI's section [E1] is the name of it, and copy and paste the entire section and change existing tags to make the infantry be different.

[ExtremeFaithInJesus]

How do I make the parabomb mod? So far all I've been able to successfully do is make a nuclear silo only $1.

[WARDEATHFUN]

learn how to make new infantry first. if all you know how todo so far is make nuke silos $1... you will not be able to make parabombs.

[ExtremeFaithInJesus]

ok, I've got another question too. Is it possible to change how long it takes for superweapons to get ready or change unit names?

[WARDEATHFUN]

yes on both of them. I will send you a video i made on the names part.

as for superweapons, simply look for the superweapon in the rulesmd.ini and change from there. should have something like "rechargetime=" or whatever.

[ThrashCore124]

I only do it for RA2 because i cant stand stock RA2

but i have never tried it for Yr because i have a good mod already installed

[Shadowmov3r]

huh where is expandmd01, even if I read your tag and that message that pops up while looking at the video, I still don't get it.

[WARDEATHFUN]

if you dont have it, read the tags on the side. i only recemonded it because its easier and faster and most people have it.

[Shadowmov3r]

nevermind. I didn't read the next tags. I thought you meant in the video that only that one tag would explain it.

[WARDEATHFUN]

nope... i do my best to slice everything in little peices so its easier for people to understand. because i too get headaches from walls of text and would rather have step by step processes. lol. i plan to remove this video and replace with another though... since the secondary way is better and the way most modders do (i just thought everyone had that file i mentioned in video and decided it was easier.)

[keetoungu]

do you have the origan disc and the an xp?

[WARDEATHFUN]

i have the original disk and when i made this tutorial, xp. yes.

i use vista ultimate now and it can do all this..

[keetoungu]

i have first decade and the files are very missplaced so i cant play ra2 and ra2 yr on the internet can u help?

[WARDEATHFUN]

oh... i have the first decade too... i dont exactly understand how your having a problem though.

[WARDEATHFUN]

did you install the first decade patches?

[keetoungu]

i donto know...... where would i get them?

[WARDEATHFUN]

i dont know... i never needed them. just google them.

[keetoungu]

idk but can u make a video showing where the orignal internet files are for ra2 yr that would help me and tones of other people that are having the same problem

[WARDEATHFUN]

i dont know where they are... tfd usually just works and lets you go online... where do you have a problem with online?

[keetoungu]

on my xp the files were in my computer / local disk c then somthing about red alert 2 if i had the name of that folder and the folders in that folder i could fix the problem

my ra2 yr is trying to update files in that folder and the folder dosent yet exist on my vista witch is the problem

alot of ppl are having this proble

[WARDEATHFUN]

if the ra2 folder does not yet exist.. then how do you play the game?

[keetoungu]

because the aplicatoin is in a folder where the files are and the update is old so when i try to get on the inter net i cant play because it ask to update files that arent in the right folder

[WARDEATHFUN]

cant you just move them in the right folder then?

[darrylrocker2]

red alert 3 song....

[Kpaxian007]

I guess this can't be done in the RIP of the game?

[WARDEATHFUN]

what do you mean by "rip"?

[Kpaxian007]

Some kind of optimized version. It's 253 mb and has no music or videos! I'll get the full version... Anyway I'm good in modelling and I'd like to know how can I import some models into the game and make them units, vehicles....

[WARDEATHFUN]

i do not know what you mean but optimized version... but if it has a expand file as mentioned it will work.

[Kpaxian007]

Unfortunately I can't find it... It should be there but it isn't!

[WARDEATHFUN]

Do you have the patch installed?

[Kpaxian007]

I don't know what patch do you mean but this is some extracting version. I have them both (RA2 and RA2 Yuri's revenge). The full game should be about 1 gb while this one and the other are 150-250 mb! And I searched all the .mix files... There is no rulesmd file...

[WARDEATHFUN]

well unless this is the full game i cant help you. (btw.... I do not know what game your talking about but mine does not take 1 GB of space =/)

[Kpaxian007]

Strange... Great tut anyway! Keep it up!

[Xzynorqui]

I dont have that Expand01 thing in my RA2 YR directory!!

I dont even have the Westwood file directory.......i have it installed...... Help!?

[WARDEATHFUN]

what version do you have? The first decade disk or Yuris revenge original disk?

[Xzynorqui]

I have the original disk thing not first decade...

[WARDEATHFUN]

so you do have a ra2 folder?

[Xzynorqui]

i do in docs but not program files

[WARDEATHFUN]

whats inside the ra2 folder?

[Xzynorqui]

Wait...now i cant even find that.... Do u think it mattes i hav the new patch? (1.001 i think)

[WARDEATHFUN]

uninstall the game, and reinstall it with the directory i given up there with westwood in its name.

[Xzynorqui]

Wait! i found the expand thing! wow..... thanks!

[toxicthug11]

Can i have a mod you made? like that nuclear reload one.

[lostmoon]

lols i see you so busy,tomorrow talk.

give me your msn?i add you there.

i want sleep now

[WARDEATHFUN]

alright, its WARDEATHFUN@hotmail(dot)com

[gtrsfan343]

can i also add u?or no

[WARDEATHFUN]

you can... but i dont have msn anymore. i have yahoo messenger though, which is wardeathfun@yahoo(dot)com

[EchofinderDJ]

vehicle list is in rules too?, or is the same stuff to copy grizzly tank and rename an new one

[WARDEATHFUN]

in the rules ini is a section of alot of numbers with vehicle names next to it. [VehicleTypes] is what its called i believe.

[lostmoon]

there are alot of stuff like tank,metal and alot more,then do what?

[WARDEATHFUN]

scroll down until you see text files. inside the local.mix is alot of stuff, including the ini files.

[lostmoon]

and i extract local mix?

[WARDEATHFUN]

nope, open it with XXC mixer also, inside will be alot of stuff, scroll towards bottom to find all of ra2 ini files.

[lostmoon]

wait,i opened ra2.mix and found got local.mix

[lostmoon]

extract to where and do whats next

[WARDEATHFUN]

extract the rules.ini to anywhere, simply open it afterwards and change the values to what you desire. Once your finished, place it in your RA2 folder.

[EchofinderDJ]

thats what i do: go to rules, copy the grizzly tank section and paste below, the only thing i have changed is the name and the prize, 2- go to art and copy grizzly section, my voxel is called NTANK, when i try i doesnt appear, what is my error?

[WARDEATHFUN]

did you add to Vehicle list?

[lostmoon]

i saw no text files -.-

[WARDEATHFUN]

you opened local.mix which is inside of ra2.mix right?

[lostmoon]

hey i found that RA2.mix thing

[WARDEATHFUN]

yay, now go open it, then open local which is inside, scroll down until you see text files, now once you see all the ini files, enjoy your plunder. simply right click them and extract.

[lostmoon]

i think i need a mod that is easy and straight can use...

[WARDEATHFUN]

this is one of the easiest modable games out there mate :)

[lostmoon]

sry man,i cant find anything at anywhere...

and im a pc noobie...

i guess these is too much for me to do...

[WARDEATHFUN]

lol, its fine. lemme help as best i can, no reason for you to be left out of the fun.

go back to your search thing and look up Ra2.mix

[EchofinderDJ]

thanks man, a last question how can i make my own cameos and how can i put in the game?

[WARDEATHFUN]

download SHP editor which is on the same site mentioned under windows vista users. Inside the program is self explanatory on how to use it, just remember to use the proper pallet. Once you made the cameo, simply place in RA2 Folder and then go in rules.ini and whatever your giving the cameo to, give the name of cameo, for an example, if the came was named CAMEO232 go in the rules ini and type in =CAMEO232 under whatever is the icon tag name (there is more then one kind of tag,)

[EchofinderDJ]

nice man, so if i have my own voxel, all i need to do is: make a file called ECHACHEMDXX.MIX and rename a tank section and put my voxel there, thats all or something more?

[WARDEATHFUN]

nope, its really that simple, go to rules.ini add the vehicle to the vehicle list, copy and paste grizzly tank section, rename and change values, etc. its really easy. make a section in art.ini is easy too, You do not need ecache either rally, just place the voxel in the RA2 folder, its just cleaner to have a ecache folder holding everything.

[EchofinderDJ]

ok, this time i understand, really simple thanks man

[WARDEATHFUN]

no problem, happy modding.

[EchofinderDJ]

oops, sorry for that stupid question man, the really question is, how do i put my voxels in the game?

[WARDEATHFUN]

Ofcourse, rename the section whatever the voxel is called, like if the voxel was name "NEWTNK.VXL" then you would copy a tank and rename the section [NEWTNK] and change the values below the section to your desire.

[EchofinderDJ]

hey man, i was downloaded the XCC utilities, but i dont know how to edit the expandXx file :P, please help i am new making mods

[WARDEATHFUN]

its not a stupid question, its a stupid video that needs to be redone (im planning to relase other video today) when you have the XCC files, there is a file called XCC editor, use that to add stuff to mix files, i recemondn oteditting the actual exspand though, but simply make a new mix file. in editor, select new and name it ECACHEMDXX.mix this is where you place the voxels. Once you do, then open ARTMD.ini and make a new section similar to whatever unit model is the closest to what kind it is.

[lostmoon]

it will be too bad if i cant enjoy these MOD thingy,i always daydreaming about adding new weapons,unit,building or tanks :(

and i have a lot idea

[WARDEATHFUN]

i figured it out, exspand is only for yuris revenge, in ra2, you go to your ra2 folder and open the ra2 file (its also named RA2) and then open up local, you will come across some text files near the bottom.

[lostmoon]

i just cant find something like expand in my RA2

file,maybe i don't have one?

[lostmoon]

i just cant find that expandmd01

[WARDEATHFUN]

if your modding just red alert 2 without yuris revenge add-on, then its just expand01 or something, its not exactly expand01, it may be a different number.

[lostmoon]

need help...

i search everywhere in my RA2 file.. i also used the search engine but no result...

[alexsplat]

Hell March 3! Yay! Not as good as Hell March 1 or 2, but still pretty good :D
