Welcome to the wonderful world of modding!
Anyway:
1) make sure your object is in .shp or .vxl form.
2) place it in the ra2 directory
3) code it in rules(md).ini, using example from other things of the same type
4) put in art code, following example again
5) Play

Thanks, I managed to put a new cameo for a new unit
I've seen the site and it's really good explain
But I just want to know now where do you add the graphic units (I know that you had the icons in cameo.mix) because i downloaded SHP and voxel and I just wonder how to put them in them game :oops:

well, you can just put them in the ra2 directory. If you're making a mod, they go in certain .mix's, but someone else will explain that.
NEVER PUT ANYTHING INTO THE ACTUAL GAME .mix FILES!

I put a cameo in cameo.mix :(
Is it really serious?
And for the SHP and the voxel, what do I put in art.ini after? :?

it's just easier to put it into the ecache and expand .mix's (wait until someone properly explains what goes where). If you mess up while using the actual game files (like cameo.mix), you'd have to spend the time finding it and getting it back

just make a ecachemdxx.mix (remove the md if you are not using Yuri's Revenge, and the xx is the number from 01 to 99, doesn't matter what number you use) then put all the SHPs and Voxels you are using in there with XCC Mix Editor
Okay, now if you'll back at the weather map you'll see that we don't have one. Try to picture last night's map in your mind, picture all of the little lines and rivers.
The temperature at the airport is 88 degrees which is stupid cause I don't know anyone who lives at the airport.
Tonights forecast: dark. Continued dark tonight until turning to partially light in the morning.

1) if you put the .shp and .vxl files in a ecache(md)xx.mix file, it will work fine. again, DO NOT put stuff in the original game files!
2) like was said above: in ecache(md)xx.mix

:idea: EUREKA ! I've understood everything ! 
I don't try your cachexx.mix, I just put my *.shp in CWestwoodRA2 and put *.shp in the art.ini and it works fine, it was really izy :| , and I can play with my friends in internet like if I had none-corruputed files(just have to switch rules and art) 8)
I will try all the units i've download, will say if it's work

Loads faster... and just less files to deal with.

-VALUE
-VALUE.vxl,VALUE.hva
-somthing else
