Way back when I was in college (like 10 years ago now), my friends and I made a mod for Red Alert 2 that made balance changes and added some new game modes. I'm trying to get the mod working again for a nerdy LAN-party reunion. I've successfully gotten the balance changes working by simply renaming the mod's rulesmd.ini file to spawner.xdp, easy enough. However, CnCNet doesn't seem to pick up the additional game modes that are added with the mpmodesmd.ini file. (They don't show up in the Game Type dropdown in CnCNet, though they work fine when running without CnCNet via Origin.) Is there anything special I have to do with that file to get it to detect these additional modes? Is this even possible?
Thanks for your help! Here's the contents of the mpmodesmd.ini file in case it's relevant:
; Define the multiplayer game modes
; modeID=Name, rulesOverride, mapFilter, randomMapsAllowed
; Battle is "standard" multiplay with rules.ini changes for modified gameplay
; It is the only one that allows AI players.
