when i install code red and try to play it, everything works fine, but only a few structures and units have been altered... in addition, the patch doesn't work for me, computer says the file's damaged. anyone know how to fix this? or should i perhaps better wait for 0.965

As for the "units/structure-bug".. have you patched YR to 1.001?
As for the patch... the dl has probably been interupted. I suggest dl-ing it again.

Try to be more precise.
1. Which patch did you try to install?
2. Did you install the 1.001 patch for YR?

That error message is because you modded an unpatched YR.

In that case a full re-install is needed.

If the Mix files are named ****md**.mix you'll need the 1.001 patch and after a quick check that's exactly the case.
If you want to play CR without patching YR to 1.001 you'll need to manually rename all the mix files with md in it.
But they're no reason you cannot patch YR unless you've got a hacked version.

when i don't patch YR
You need to patch YR man. If you can't because of that error message it means you must have edited files in your RA2 folder... which means it must not be a clean install.

Shame on you for dl-ing it. Besides it not needed. RA2/YR is an older game so you can buy it for 5-10 Dollar/Euro.
Anyway for the renaming, it just occured to me that that won't work since all the ini's in the mix files would still have the md.
You'd have to extract all the ini's from the mix file and rename them and i think that's a bit much considering you already asked how to rename.

inis are correct, only thing different from 1.000 to 1.001 is the mix file naming process, both still use artmd.ini/rulesmd.ini etc... have a look in ra2md.mix/localmd.mix and see rulesmd.ini in there

Godd@mn! Since i haven't found a way to make the Code Red mod for RA2:YR work (i can't patch it to v1.001), i started looking for a legit version again in Ebay, Fnac, Free Record Shop & Bart Smit.
Neither one of these had the game. So i wanted (read: had) to buy the game directly from the EA store, but when i try to bill it, it says: choose country: US, Canady or Mexico. But I am from Belgium...
So now i (have to) ask again: is there any way i can get the game and install the code red mod properly???
