Red alert 2 Yuris Revenge How to make Mod Maps PT 1

[ekhounit1]

what if i have THE FIRST DECADE?? i cant find the rules.ini

[WARDEATHFUN]

@ekhounit1 THE FIRST DECADE is exactly the same as regular copies. If you are having a hard time finding it, then just download the ini files I guess.

[ekhounit1]

@WARDEATHFUN yea i did that but then when i tried to play online it said "i dont have the latest version of ra2 but i do...

[WARDEATHFUN]

@ekhounit1 you cant just play the game with a mod online unless others you are trying to play with have it too.

[xmobster5]

what do i type in? sounded like you said zueze...

[WARDEATHFUN]

@xmobster5 where?

[sikomaniac123]

wtf dude i don't have rules.ini -.-

[VideozMinecraft]

HELP! When I tried to load a new map (completely new one), it is always black!

[zarnab89]

@VideozMinecraft right click on the program n go to properties n click 'compatibility' menu n run the program for windows 98 compatibility.it will work. :)

[mumerafzal2011]

PlaceAnywhere=yes (can this building be placed anywhere without getting Red?) Can any one tell me that do it work for all building which we can construct ?? i tried this and added it on rules.md but did't work

[andrayd1234]

where can i download that map editor???

[logamvsmetal]

@andrayd1234 find a software named as Final Alert 2

[yeahsayeh]

how do u make oil derricks buildable i go to rules.md and edit it but i run yuri to find an error when i start a game

[WARDEATHFUN]

@yeahsayeh I dont see how you managed to make the game get an error when you just adjusted oil derrick to TechLevel=1 and a valid Prerequisite... :/

Make it this in its section:

TechLevel=5

Prerequisite=PROC

then there is a tag saying it needs an engineer or requires an engineer or something, make the line say no or delete it completely.

[yeahsayeh]

do u need ALL of the stuff in the des?

[Rwaaaaar]

@yeahsayeh yes

[TheBurningRebel]

When I downloaded this program, it shows the ground, units, buildings, and EVERYTHING in black. Is there a patch for this?

[Rwaaaaar]

@TheBurningRebel run as admin

[TheBurningRebel]

@Rwaaaaar How to I run as an administrator? (Thanks)

[KirbyWithAGun]

@TheBurningRebel right click and select it (same guy)

[lilleboso]

@Rwaaaaar WOW I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LONG IT WORK THANKS THANKS THANKS :D:D:D

[Snsuzele]

this site is awesome with, all grount units, all water, and air army, thank's man.

[hockeydude634]

i couldent hear a word he just said

[mumblejunkie]

Can u make the cloning vat put out tanks instead?How can i get the paradrop to drop tanks......Have tried but they r invisible

[WARDEATHFUN]

@mumblejunkie you cant do either.

[mumblejunkie]

@WARDEATHFUN Gutted...do u know anything about making a medic? The hospital doesnt work!!! Have messed around with my rules to allow bunker to be built and robbed the paris tower death by electric and put it on a statue and gave the russians the mayan prism tower and made other units available but the medic thing and cloning thing is driving me mad.......must be possible. There r some other files but they r boxes and stuff do u know how to read these?

Thanks for ur time.....Red 2 diehard fan

[WARDEATHFUN]

@mumblejunkie making a medic is possible :) I do not know the whole steps to making it though. I just remembered a special warhead or something that made it work. As for the other files, what are you talking about? D:

[gxycybro]

@WARDEATHFUN when i make a normal map when yuri's revenge starts the map the game close

[WARDEATHFUN]

@gxycybro bad coding. check for typos and stuff.

[gxycybro]

@WARDEATHFUN I didn't code

[WARDEATHFUN]

@gxycybro what did you do...?

[ooijiyoung]

PlaceAnywhere=yes won't work...

[WARDEATHFUN]

@ooijiyoung hmmm, really? It works for me at least. You sure you typed in yes and typed it exactly as needed?

[ooijiyoung]

@WARDEATHFUN Is need to near your base?? I want to bulid anywhere like at enemy base...

[WARDEATHFUN]

@ooijiyoung it should be able to be placed anywhere period. even on top of other stuff. Its really a bad thing to use since it causes IE a lot.

[GeneralsAlert]

one more thing, if some one puts ramdom things (not the ones you listed) for INI editing, will it mess some things up?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@GeneralsAlert if its not a real tag, then the game wont read it. So it shouldnt mess anything up. However, if there is like no = sign or something, game could thing its a response to the last code. So Its best to just not have anything. I for one do not know for sure but wouldnt test it either.

[GeneralsAlert]

for the protect with wallone, the Al sometimes build walls around their battlelabs aswelll

[WARDEATHFUN]

@GeneralsAlert ai actually ALWAYs does that once they get the chance. They do it as well with superweapons ;)

[GeneralsAlert]

what's beginnier mode for?

if it's on, then you don't have to do all that?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@GeneralsAlert beginner mode disables all advanced stuff... So if you have it on, your not allowed to do this.

[GeneralsAlert]

@WARDEATHFUN , ok

[PokemonVideosOST]

how to make a ROAD????

[bloodshedhero]

question: i made a map with final alert, but i cant seem to load it in my multiplayer games. do i need to save it to a certain place? or maybe change the extension? or perhaps adjust something in the editor? once u have a map made what are the steps for getting to use it in an online game? maybe im messing up with loading it in my custom game? how do i bring a saved map up? please help!

[WARDEATHFUN]

@bloodshedhero if the map is for yuri's revenge, make sure its saved as .yrm if its for ra2, save it as .mpr

to top it off, make sure its in RA2 folder (where the game is installed)

[bloodshedhero]

@WARDEATHFUN ahhh, thank you so much! got it working now.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Nearazeroxx your a lazy idiot you know that? try reading comments around... even my most recent comment says what todo with this.

[madness983]

when i try changes onwer of some building and units they turn color to the yellou.i save the map.run ra2 yr with trainer and start map.map was load , but units and buildings on my side (america) disappeared.doing i something bad.please help(sorry for bad english)

[WARDEATHFUN]

@madness983 thats not how you properly make buildings go to your side in skirmish. think about it, what would happen if both people played as america if you setted it as america? nothing... so look up my triggers tutorial, it explains well enough if you have anotations on.

[benadict22]

It's all pitch black for me and I can't see a thing.

Help?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@benadict22 run as administer.... *twitches* its been asked so many times... try to read through comments before asking a common problem... its common knowledge to do so really.

[wibier6]

sorry but i cant understand a singel word of what your saying

[WARDEATHFUN]

@wibier6 then learn to read since anotation tags are in plain view.

[Crumpleman]

Hey, I finally got my YR to install but I have this technical issue and was wondering if you could help me. Im using Windows XP and when I try to start YR, it says YR has encountered and error and needs to close.

Any tips?

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman nope/ my only guess is compativilitity.

[Crumpleman]

@WARDEATHFUN Now it works but it occasionally hangs and I have no choice but to close it. Any other tips? Lols.

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Crumpleman if you get a charming little pop up like Internal Error, then it means you have bad coding. May be careful. i cant think of anything else more helpful then that. sorry

[slimshaby]

wow Ive always wanted to do this and now i can thanks to you and i now know most of the commands as well thank you very much

[ThePeterbuilt379]

this is a fail video it doesnt help at all

i cant see what hes doing

[WARDEATHFUN]

@ThePeterbuilt379 turn on anotations.

[Robbieman111]

I have no sound so i don't watch the movies for long, but how can you make those pop-up texts in the upper left corner of the screen when you start?(in a skrimish map)

[WARDEATHFUN]

@Robbieman111 its a trigger. go through actions and you will see something on text. i dont know how to make it not say missing however.

[patrickcorp96]

you sound like an alien

[Navigationify]

Only got YR INI no YR inis

[taichee09]

nvm i found it liao but only works on ra2 not ra2 yuri

[taichee09]

i cant save

[WARDEATHFUN]

i dont know what todo if you cant save the map.

[unnoon]

hi i only have ra2 but how do i change the owner of the units i spawned? because theyre all grey

[WARDEATHFUN]

you cant for ra2.

[taichee09]

i cant update sia

[WARDEATHFUN]

sia?

[taichee09]

which is the lastes yuri verison?

[WARDEATHFUN]

1.001 or something like that.

[gamesguide123]

never mind about the last thing i said i found out myself :D could you put all the other building codes (CAOILD is one) in the description if you don't want to could you tell me where to get them from?

[WARDEATHFUN]

rules.ini

[gamesguide123]

yes where may i find rules.ini is it in finalalert 2 yuri's revenge folder?

[WARDEATHFUN]

if you downloaded it in the link i provided, you would be able to open it with notepad (the ini files). Browse through the rulesmd.ini or press CTRL+F and look up what your looking for and hope for the best.

[gamesguide123]

thank you very much :)

[gamesguide123]

how do you make the buildings that you have made to make it buildable or to put it on your mod map?

[gamesguide123]

could you help me please? my problem is that on my minimap its not like yours like grass and water ect. mine is black and grey 8s why is that?

[WARDEATHFUN]

no idea... never heard this problem before... if its vista, then run as admnister maybe?

[gamesguide123]

yes my computer has windows vista and thank you for the help =D

[Adunn88]

Do you know how to create building models?. I want to make an airfield for Soviets but I don''t have a clue how to use OS SHP builder.

[WARDEATHFUN]

i would learn how to copy and paste.... Thats how I would think most people start... Though I do not know how to do anything like that.

You could always use photoshop and just use the proper colors.

[jeiskina]

ya same here

[WARDEATHFUN]

yahoo sends me an email notifacation on my tool bar ;)

[WARDEATHFUN]

run as administer or kill vista ;)

[kessu212]

when i try to open fianl alert 2 it says:red alert 2 is not correctly installed (ra2.mix could not be loaded) what should i do?

[WARDEATHFUN]

You can try going into your RA2 folder and right click, then properties/customize then see if its hidden or read only (uncheck both :) )

Other then that... I have no idea. This method I did fixed my final alert problem i had recently... Though I would google and see who else had this problem... I am sure its common enough :) good luck and sorry i couldnt help much.

[therealKINDLE]

Bare effort! Like I can be arsed with all this!

[GeneralsAlert]

what did you typed on 1:07?

[WARDEATHFUN]

did you read the description?

[GeneralsAlert]

no but i will

[WARDEATHFUN]

dont ever ask a question on anyones video before reading the description. people like you bother the hell out of me and sometimes makes me feel like not helping anyone ever.

[shohamjac]

king! where can i find more option to type? like paratroop a Ivan or building things faster?

[WARDEATHFUN]

it be under General in rules.ini /rulesmd.ini

[shohamjac]

thx... but it didnt work... im probebly not good enough in computers... do you have any guide or something i can use?

[WARDEATHFUN]

i do actually, I dont know where... just go to my page and search general.... just pray i dont have that many generals/zero hour videos.

[killomg99]

sorry i didnt so PT1

[ChocolateStroodle]

Dude, when I put down tech secret labs, I play and capture them and they dont give me new tech. Waddup with that?

[WARDEATHFUN]

dunno. bug i guess.

[Xzynorqui]

hey. Nice video, but my final alert is really laggy. Like the framerate is low or something. The little green square doesnt follow my cursor at all. My computer should handle it fine. Any suggestions? Also, when I go to skirmish mode in the actual game, it runs perfectly for like 5 mins then gets really laggy. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

[WARDEATHFUN]

sounds like your computer needs to be cleaned. Run C Cleaner (Known as Crap Cleaner) and fix errors and delete files. Should make your computer a bit faster. Though i dont know what todo. Never had this problem before.

[Xzynorqui]

yeah, I think I fixed it. I had like 100mb left on C drive, so I moved stuff to my other drives. I hope it works :S

[yurisrevengemod]

u really got nice vids man!!

but ive got a question. in some of your other vids you start with alot of building directly on our side? how you do that?

thnx

[WARDEATHFUN]

watch my trigger tutorial video.

[SHARIFF0]

Umm, Exuse me, I've just Downloaded the Program & don't know what to do next :S...

What do i press to build anything at all??

PLEASE HELP???

[WARDEATHFUN]

if you are new to the program, then dont make mod maps or maps with triggers, get used to it in beginner mode. To do anything, simply make a new map, then on the left side is allot of + signs. simply click them for category.

[SHARIFF0]

I've Read some of the Turtirals But when I say file new, etc... The Whole SCREEN is black not plain grass!

I GOT WINDOWS VISTA btw, is that the problem?

[WARDEATHFUN]

yes, vista is the reason. Run as administer.

[SHARIFF0]

Whoa, Thanks, 100% clear now, it works perfevtly, mad 4 maps so far!....

BUT there is still ONE PROBLEM:

All the Maps only exist in RA2, but not in Yuri's revenge, i can only fid them & play them in Red Alert 2, why not Yuri's Revenge??

[WARDEATHFUN]

go to your RA2 folder and right click the map, then select rename. then change the .mpr to .yrm

[luvthe7scorpio]

I was just about to ask thanxs :)

[2bpilot1]

How do you make waves of enemies that respawn after certain time limits

[WARDEATHFUN]

click on my profile and look for my tutorial on how to make Survival maps.

[NarZzZzZzZ]

I cant find the Final Alert 2 Map Editor at the download link.....

[WARDEATHFUN]

look on the page... if you cant find it... then press CTRL+F

[TheElderOne28]

well i had a big number of oil derricks also. After i removed all the tech buildings apart from a single secret lab it worked.

[TheElderOne28]

you were right. on a new map it works. it's odd though... maybe the big number of labs could be the reason?

[WARDEATHFUN]

doubt it. the map may of been corrupted or somehing was added without you knowing.

[TheElderOne28]

No, i don't even know what are those. I'm a beginner in editing maps. I found the secret lab, in the buildings list, i put it on the map and when i capture it with the engineer, it says "secret lab captured, new technology available" -like normal- but no technology appears.

[WARDEATHFUN]

i dont know what todo. should just work. do you have any mods installed? other then that... try making a new map and put on some labs see if they work there. may need to make a new map.

[TheElderOne28]

do you know how to make tech secret batlle labs work? I put 16 on a map and none of them did something when i captured them.

[WARDEATHFUN]

they should work automaticly.... did you adjust any ini codings?

[PoPoIsToSlow]

how??

[PoPoIsToSlow]

when a strat Fa2 then i make a map 50~50 and then i got a black screen who knows what to do??

[WARDEATHFUN]

Run as administer.

[PoPoIsToSlow]

how man?

[WARDEATHFUN]

windows vista requires some programs to run as administer. simply right click and select run as administer.

[4131610141316101]

can u help me WARDEATHFUN ? can utell me how do you do the thing by which the more war factories you put,and all of them can make tanks at the same time.plz reply

[WARDEATHFUN]

only the AI can do it.... humans cant. Simply copy and paste warfactories and put TechLevel=-1 on it so the ai builds it but humans cant. For each factory type, the ai builds an additional whatever.

[De1Meesterchef]

Huh when i open a new map everything is just black. no grass

[WARDEATHFUN]

Run as administer.

[seopeter22]

does map editor allow editing of unit/structure properties like hp?

[WARDEATHFUN]

yup. double click the unit and adjust the strength.

[seopeter22]

sweet!

[Jawbone220]

dear god that is a lot of desktop icons

[WARDEATHFUN]

whats funny is its all for my mod.... and whats even more funny is its orginized.... and that the laptop is even worst.

[Jawbone220]

haha nice

[WhizKid767]

Can anyone tell me how to make Yuri's Revenge work on vista

[WARDEATHFUN]

run as administer and go to properties of the exe file and uncheck the compadibility and give all users full control under secruity

[ziad10000]

ok thanks a lot ~

[ziad10000]

yo, in the rules ini there are many other folders in there, i am looking if there is a file in there that says for the infantry which is what. like for Tanya it says Tany, only if you know it is Tanya. For others it is random numbers/letters. Is there a folder that says who is who for infantry?

[WARDEATHFUN]

nope. rules.ini is only way really. what you can do is press CTRL+F and type in for an example, GI and see if the section for GI will pop-up. sometimes the section will mention part of their name.

[ziad10000]

yo, i can't understand anythin anyways, im trying to learn how to make moded maps such as a double paradrop that drops yuris or any kind of cool things so if you could help me that would b great

[WARDEATHFUN]

did you download the Rules.ini?

[ziad10000]

yes i did download them

[WARDEATHFUN]

ok good. in your map, go to Edit, then go to very bottom "INI EDIT" and then a pop-up will show. add a new section and type in "General" without " and then select it.

Now go to your rules.ini and press CTRL+F and type in SOVPARADROP and then there its self explanatory. read the helpful notes above to understand fully. simply type in the Inf and Num lines into General in your map and add what units you want and etc.

[WARDEATHFUN]

Just remember only Infantry work. tanks or anything else will not.

[ForerunnerLuke]

wtf is that noise? a jet? a fan? wtf. btw, how do you put the map onto RA2/RA2YR?

[WARDEATHFUN]

a fan. it was really hot when i made this video. you simply save the map in the ra2 folder. make sure you save it properly though by selecting what kind of map it is on the bottom of when your saving it (like select yuris revenge map or ra2)

[tarantularose]

thnx now i can see

[tarantularose]

no grass is on the ground on the editing screen for me. its just black

[WARDEATHFUN]

run as administer.

[WARDEATHFUN]

right click and select properties and look around the options in the new pop-up window.,

[WARDEATHFUN]

check what?

[WARDEATHFUN]

you do have a ra2 folder. I use TFD on vista aswell.

Go to

C:/Programs/EA games/the first decade/red alert 2/RA2

[WARDEATHFUN]

did you check through compadibility or run as administer or any of these options?

[WARDEATHFUN]

did you save it in the RA2 Folder? if so did you save it as .YRM if for yuris rveenge?

[WARDEATHFUN]

vista can play any game the xp can.

[lewski07]

i think iv got it but all i want to know is how to make quick build and lots of money but i cant find where to edit it even though i have the codes is it the edit then ini but i dont know what to do after that.

please help, thanks

[WARDEATHFUN]

inside the rules.ini file you can look up the warhead and change the values and add it to the map.

[WoWpallyup]

anyone know how to make it so the computers build like crazy?

[WARDEATHFUN]

be more clear on what you mean by crazy.

[ziad10000]

yo man when i create a new mapp :S it seems to be in black i cna't see what im doing... can you please help me? respond back ~

[WARDEATHFUN]

Run as administer.

[xVhincex]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.

[engino90]

[WARDEATHFUN]

[PurexIice]
