I'm having a problem. I did everything in the instructions, and the normal RA2 and YR run fine, but the MO 2.0 psi patch 2 with the xml patch file in dir and the launcher in dir too -
 
So I run launcher as admin, but I get error message saying "Error Reading Mod" WTH? I make shortcut, same thing.
 
I am using a virtual drive YR disc. My real disc got scratched beyond repair, so I installed RA2 + YR with virtual cds, but used my legit serials. Should work no? I tried Win XP compatibility, still no go.
 
Also dl assualt mappacks, renamed them to expandmd69 & expandmd70. Is that a bad thing?
 
My real cd's hit or miss, sometimes it doesn't read, other times it works, gonna try it again right now. It could work and then astalavista!
 
EDIT: The CD showed up and everything in my drive, so I run MO with admin priv. and BOOM! Error reading mod. Now I'll try both the sidks at the same time.
 
EDIT: Oh wait I just had a thought. I used the auto patcher thing off of the ISO YR disc, instead of downloading thwe 1.006 patch seperately... hmmmm...
 
Anyways, I think my real discs are gonna work this time, so I've uninstalled everything and ams starting scratch from my scratched discs. Lets hope.


YOOOOOOOOO! IT WORKS, AGAIN! I FIXED MY OWN PROBLEM AGAIN!!!!!!
 
So yah, I still couldn't use my real CD's. They are scratched to hell. I uninstalled everything, then reinstalled RA2 with ISO image file of Soviet Disc, then download 1.006 patch, this time not using the auto patcher with the YR ISO. So I apply 1.006 patch, then fire RA2 up, watch video, laugh. Then exit, change resolution in ini settings to 1920 x 1080. Then I installed YR , then dled 1.001 patch, fired it up, watched video, laughed, worked fine. Exited, changed resolution again, then extracted mo 2.0 pis, launcher file, patch file and npatch installer into directory. I Install Npatch no problem, then launcher MO, and
 
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
 
IT WORKZ! PRAISE YOUR WEAK, DECEIVING GODs, THE SLEEPERS HAVE AWAKENED!
 
Can't wait for 3.0

EDIT:
 
OOOO, wow. Actually, although the mod finally fired up, I have encountered a severe problem. In Skirmish, I go to customize battle to change the gametype/map, and I select a new map, BUT THERES NO ACCEPT BUTTON. THERES ONLY RANDOM MAP, OR CANCEL. I CAN'T CHANGE THE MAP. I think I'm gonna go on a killing spree.
 
Damn, maybe it has something to do with the assault mappackes I installed after successfully booting up MO finally. So many hiccups to iron out.

Does anybody have nay idea on how to fix this fiasco or what? Post a reply already, even a flame would be constructive instead of nothing.


OMG, sothign hirrible has occured to me. I cant sutomise the battles. In skirmihs, I got change the gametype/map, I can't accept my changes! The button on the side bar menu inteface is missing! Theres only Random Map, and Cancel buttons. I can only play 1v1 on the the starting map for all eternity?
 
- The button to change map is not sho9wing up right below the random map generator button, which alos does nothing. I click the RMG button, and I'm brought back to the main skirmish screen! The button is missing, all I can do is cancel my plans to "customize battle". EA, can I sue you? Can I kill you? ANSWER ME!
 
As for you mod guys, do you have any idea whats going on with mine? Does any of it ring a bell?

I swear to god , my only issue with this mod now is trying to change maps in skrimish! As of right now I can only play on the default 1v1 map... it is horrible. This is an issue with the default RA2 and YR games - I can't switch maps in skirmish, because when I go to the customize battle screen, the list of game modes and maps is there, I can select on those, and the Random Map Generator button is the first button on the menu sidebar, with the cancel button being the last at the bottom. But there should be a button right below the RMG bitton which accepts the new game mode & map selection.

 

It's not there. You know the animation that plays everytime you cick a button on the main menu sidebar? The buttons lose their text, then slide back and new ones slide in, then new text lights up. When I click Customize Battle, the button's text winks out, and said buttons slide back, then I can see three buttons, two at the top and one at the bottom slide back in, but only the very top button and very bottom one actually appear after the slide in animation. Only 2 out of 3 appear after the 3 buttons without text sldie into veiw, only 2 materialize. The one button which should be the accept button seems to slide in, but then it dissapears!

 

WTF - is all I have to say. I am so close to playing this wicked mod.

@DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr, just to let you know, we're a community of all ages, backgrounds and moral standing. Remember that when you post next time, you don't need to swear to express yourself, and your doing so is not entirely appreciated. I'm not going to put you on a warning this time, but others may not be so tolerant.

[DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr]

ok fine sry.
 
I'm so close to playing this game. The use Map button will not appear. The Random Map and Cancel buttons will appear, as well as the two lists of gametypes and maps...
 
The button just wont appear, it is driving me nuts. I've been searching google to no avail.


HOLY SOMETHING, I figured it out:
 
The Random Map button IS THE CONFIRM SELECTION BUTTON. You click on the Random Map button at the top of the sidebar list after you pick a different map, and sure enough that map gets picked! But now theres no random map generator.
 
I really got pissed off at the UI ******* with my mind. To all the people with sensitive ears... well, eyes, I mean, Im, sry.

So now I can change maps and its all good now, Im back into MO, it works great. Can't wait for 3.0.

Merged posts. Please edit your last post to prevent double posting.

OK, first, thank you for posting that 90% useless system info... I take a guess you still use that integrated Radeon HD 4290 your motherboard have (because what I needed was your GPU, your CPU including if it's being x86 or x64 and your RAM amount).

 

Since you're using x64, I'm gonna ask if you're using compatbility mode at all.

 

Also, do you use DVI output or VGA output?

[Zenothist]

Well you didn't specifically ask what you wanted to know about his system, Graion.

 

Anyway, this certainly is something I haven't come across yet, but I agree with Graion that it is highly likely something to do with your GPU.

 

In the meantime, take a look at this thread and try LH_Mouse's menu fix program. Perhaps it will solve your predicament. It worked for me!

[DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr]

Oh ok, I am using on board gfx card.

 

Honestly the game is working fine now. There just two weird things I've never, EVER seen before, and I've had this game on this wicked PC many, many times before, and this has never happened. I've never even had to use compatibility mode:

 

- The sliders for starting cash, units, tech levels. Look at those sliders on my pick. The slider overlaps the numbers:

But once you set the sliders, they position properly.

Now heres the main thing that really pissed me off to the point of even more insanity:

 

This pic was taken just before the buttons light up, the transition slider animation was playing:

 

http://postimage.org/image/nuwlcq29l/

 

So theres two buttons, yaddayadda, there supposed to be there.

 

But now look at this, when the menu's animation finishes:

*** **** ******* PISS, damn! Theres only one button. Thats blasphemy!

@ Graion: U r absolutely welcome, anytime. Heres some more specs:

 

CPU: AMD Athlon 2 X4 635

RAM: 4.0 GB

GFX: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT

It sure is 64 bit, and I use HDMI.

O_o

 

Show me the contents of your RA2 folder. Which NPatch version you're using?

 

Does the button wtf happens if you use the VGA output?

how can i join the beta?

[Zenothist]

You can't. Beta's are closed for now.

[DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr]

Here's the files in my directory. It's still working great!

 

http://postimage.org/gallery/19w1zymi/

[Graion Dilach]

Remove that rulesmd.ini.

[DoMiNaNt_HuNtEr]

Only for online games. Besides, my game problems aren't related to that.

 

Also snipers. The only reason that file is in there is for the Soviets to get a sniper unit. I changed Boris into Spetsnaz, swapped AK with AWP, kept airstrike, made him No Buildlimit, 1500, battle lab. Then made Volkov standard 1 build limit sov hero.

 

Also, I'm experimenting with power plants. I want any given base to only have like 2-3 power plants tops. Makes them more fun to target/defend.

 

and it is realistic. WHO THE FUCK BUILDS TWENTY POWER PLANTS ALL IN ONE AREA (IN REAL LIFE- yes i know its a video game, but realism is awesome, u know it, u want it, but u dont think about it )? I'm liking it, gotta make AImd.ini to defend their PPs more.
