What windows you have running?

[Slye_Fox]

I followed what the site said too, it says that it can't find YR

I'm running Windows XP Professional

[FS-21]

Good luck that I made these screenshots before the realase by precaution

This is your RA2 folder, then the C&C:R files should be placed in a new RA2 subfolder (in this case reloaded)


This one is the C&C:R folder with all the mod files:


Then if RA2 is placed in (for example) C:\westwood\RA2\ your C&C:R folder will appear here: C:\westwood\RA2\reloaded

I think that I should to do a bit more clear the error menssages of the Mod Manager to avoid these type of questions.

[Slye_Fox]

thats what i did whan i got the error

[FS-21]

an you PM the Screenshot error or tell me in what part of the activation crashed ("Enabling AUDIO of C&C:Reloaded... "Enabling MIX files of C&C:Reloaded... "Enabling other things of C&C:Reloaded... etc)? I have an idea but I need more info to be sure.

While your error is being investigated can you use the Mod Manager?

@ Slye_Fox

Try using the .bat file instead of the .exe. I had to.

@FS-21

Maybe using a Clickteam installer.exe woulda been easier than programming your own...it's just caused problems

Ok well i dont want to make another topic but im having a problem too. When i start the mod manager it says Red alert2 not found. Heres a picture.

[FS-21]

Thanks by the picture, is better than 1000 words but not show in what folder are the C&C:R files & where are the RA2 files (C&C:R should be placed in a RA2 subfolder, not in a independent folder)

Finally I think that I need to do a MM upgrade to show in this type of error where is the C&C:R folder & "where" should be located RA2 to be detected .

This is a question for FS-21. Do you need the yuri patch 1.001 to activate the mod if you do then they might not have it because I ran it excatly the same way you said to run it my downloading first then move the MM Reloaded folder into the RA2 folder and just hit activate mod on the MM so and it works I don't know if the patch is needed but I do know that most of these mods have to have the patch to ran.

[Mr. Darkness]

You will need the 1.001 patch to run the mod. he unpatched version doesn't look for any expandmdXX.mix or ecachemdXX.mix files besides the ones already precoded to be found. When patched, it will actively look for and load any material in any additional files.

[Samael]

So this maybe why the others can't get their mod to work because I have Reload working since the last Reload mod verison (before .99b1)I did not remove that patch at all.

[FS-21]

Excuse me but the coding of the menu is very sloppy, and why do you use alot of loose files and not an extractor like xccml?

I can't run the mod because it says yr isn't found, and when I go in the batch I see that it checks for expandmd21.mix ???? Excuse me, but everyone will agree with me that Westwood didn't put that much effort into making patches and fixing bugs...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

MrRuben5 , it says that isn't found because:
1º) isn't installed in the right folder (can be unzipped in the same RA2 folder but to install it you must to do a copy of the "Mod Manager.exe" & rename it to install.ccr until I find how the program can know his own filename & then will not be required the install.ccr )
2º) You has placed in the right folder the C&C:R files but you not have any of the required YR files to be considered "detected". Mod Manager scan if exist in the RA2 folder the next 4 files:
RA2MD.exe, ra2md.mix, gamemd.exe, expandmd01.mix. This ultimate file is VERY important because is created when you updates the mod from the v1.000 to v1.0001 and is required to ALL mods to have YR updated to the v1.0001 or they will not work well or simply they will not work.

If any of the 4 files aren't found will show the text "Not detected Yuri's Revenge" & by security will not continue ;-)
The next MM version will show if the YR v1.0001 isn't found in the RA2 (scanning if exist the expandmd01.mix that I said before) to forget this type of questions

Ah, and I disagree to use XCC mod launcher by few reasons that I said in the "information" comment in the download page of C&C:R

This is a question for FS-21.

Like I said the 1.0001 is always required (for this reason MM scan a typical file in the v1.0001 update and I think that the dosmenu does the same check, now I'm a bit tired to revise if is true but I think that yes)

EDIT:
I revised the dosmenu checks, only scan if exist these 2 RA2 files: ra2md.mix & expandmd01.mix & continue with the rest of activation/deactiavtion, if not exist then this error screen will be showed.

No FS-21 my mod works perfectly I just thought that maybe he doesn't have the patch and thats why it is not working.

[Slye_Fox]

right, i have uninstalled and reinstalled and updated YR, and reloaded works

Cool mod by the way
