Old (RA1) structures look very nice, but are not functional at all. I can't train infantry from barracks, or build vehicles from WF. (Haven't tested CY, helipad, service depot or refinery yet.) I can't also sell such a structure. Weirdly enough, I can select it as primary. I should get faction's construction options, or even some alternative construction options (rifle infantry, ranger, light tank etc.) like the Twisted Dawn mode in TI?

Tested on Allied co-op Mad Monster (a really nice remake of Monster Tank Madness, TBH) and Memory Dealer.

BTW. Is there any point in marking the old refineries and (advanced) powerplants as Allied or Soviet? There was no distinction in RA1. On the other hand of Nod, the war factories, helipads and conyards looked the same but were in fact different. If you wanted the enemy faction's structures, vehicles or choppers, then you had to capture the appropriate structures, and you needed both Soviet CY and WF to build a Tesla coil .

Oh, and I can start a co-op with an AI teammate, as long as I go online for that. Usually it can't handle itself and fails the mission .

Today I tested MO minimal install, copying only the files specified in readmeMO.txt.

After aborting the mission, the client crashed with a message (in terminal, as I ran it through Wine from command line):

err:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Loading of typelib L"RA2.TLB" failed with error 2

Solution: copy the ra2.tlb file to the installation directory.

@Speeder, could you update the readme and http://mentalomega.c...hp?page=install to add the required file?

I am getting this error in Client whenever:

1) I try to save the config

2) Start a game

 

It says that cannot save configuration "The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media.MediaPlayer' threw an exception."

 

Game itself runs fine but client crashes when I come out of the game.

You may try disabling the menu music in client's audio options.

If that didn't help, try deleting/moving/renaming the following files in the Resources directory:

mainmenu.xnb

chaoticimpulse.xnb

chaoticimpulse.wma

There's a workaround (I've not tested it on MO yet); basically: use WinXP compatibility mode and .NET 4.0 + XNA.

Described in https://github.com/C...lient/issues/29

There's also one petty problem that makes the client not run under Wine: https://github.com/C...lient/issues/26 - but the workaround is easy.

You need to get rid of .wma and .xnb audio files in Resources directory. Otherwise the XNA client crashes. Better to run without music than not at all...

I got the DTA and TI clients to run eventually. MO will probably work as well.

+1 from a Linux user. I've got a hard time getting the MO client (as well as DTA and TI) to run at all. Even installing Microsoft .NET framework (tried 4.0, 4.5 and 4.6) instead of Mono didn't help.

I figured out that you have to run the client (through Wine) from the game's directory; it'll try to start and write some error log. Otherwise it won't even do that...

Ares and Syringe are libraries/utilities that do some modding magic on Yuri's Revenge in such a way that no permanent modification of the game itself is needed (so, you can still play YR through XWIS).

Wine is an implementation of Windows APIs; basically a bunch of software that lets you run Windows programs under different OSes (most notably Linux and MacOS).
