ROBOTICSUPERMAN Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 after a long break from the game, and then the discovery of the new online remakes , I have returned to the rts god that is red alert 2 yuris revenge. way back I did allot of modding and I had a mod I created that was quite fun, including adding Clint, Arnold James Bond, and Sylvester to the teams and AI adaptions to implement them but it doesn't seem to take effect anymore. open mod launcher click launch this opens the default yuri's revenge launcher click start game loads up the default game. I guess that the fact it opens the default launcher is the issue, but it doesn't launch without it. has anyone got a work around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 "open mod launcher"? What mod launcher? And, are you starting the game through cncnet, or the normal way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOTICSUPERMAN Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I'm not talking about running the online section, but about running the single player. like on mental omega there would be a little window which opened, which had buttons allowing you to launch the modded game, or manual etc. then you would click the launch modded game button, and the modded game would launch. which is the same as xcc mods. my mod works exactly the same. however when you click launch modded game, it instead opens the normal single player launcher, and loads the default game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Still have no idea what that mod launcher would be, or even that "default yuri's revenge launcher". It would probably help to know what kind of game installation you have, and which mod you're talking about, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speeder Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi. Old mods which use the XCC Mod Launcher won't work on CnCNet5. Mental Omega 3.0 Beta Revision 1 with its own custom launcher will not work with CnCNet5 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOTICSUPERMAN Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 What about with the single player game, I downloaded it when it was free on origin. But it won't run mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeder Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Can't speak for other mods but there should be no problem launching singleplayer games with Mental Omega 3.0 when you have the Origin version of RA2&YR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOTICSUPERMAN Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 so, I just downloaded mental omega to test that mods work. but it didn't run. I need more dll files. msvcp100.dll. is that normal for using.. windows 10, origin's free ra2 and yuri's revenge yuri's revenge 1.001 additional dll files were required to 'run' my mod too. edit the files I required were already in there. and are in there now. yet mo says they are not in there.

You'll see that it is full of otherwise compiled files like rules(md).ini and art(md).ini which are crucial for modding. It was a very lazy way of preventing cheaters from modifying the game. IIRC, the XCC Mod Launcher extracts all the files it holds temporarily once you launch the mod, and deletes them when YR is closed (saw that with my own eyes in earlier versions of MO). Solution - remove all files that may conflict with your mod. Also, disable Origin for RA2 and YR. Installing these might help: http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-collection-launchers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Actually, as far as I know, modern cncnet just has its own modified exe file for the game which uses differently-named ini files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOTICSUPERMAN Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 That's cool. So I can mod yuris revenge single player like a loonatic, then load cncnet online and play normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That's cool. So I can mod yuris revenge single player like a loonatic, then load cncnet online and play normally? If you mod, just back up your files incase, as when you play online your edits may get overwritten. Like nyer said it should be fine, just backup changes and try.

fir3w0rx Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I just uninstalled everything, reinstalled red alert 2 and yuris revenge from origin. so no cncnet in the folder. tried to run mods. nothing. no mental omega. none of my mods. nothing. anyone else got any ideas? Have you tried xwis' multiplayer-only version? I don't think any mods will work with the cncnet version because you can't even do a simple rules.ini edit, due to anti-cheat coding. Not that that's a bad thing. If you're computer savvy and you love your older games like RA2 that much, and you still have a copy of Win7, I would suggest to do what I've done for my nephew and dual boot his Win10 with Win7. Just make sure that you have a different serial number for Win7 (you probably won't if you upgraded from win7 to win10), otherwise it might not work. And also Win7 drivers. If all goes well, you will have very little to no problems running RA2/YR and other older games. If you know what you're doing, it shouldn't take too long. If you've never dual booted before, and you're afraid to mess up, don't do it. You know what, fuck it. That's the cowards way out; research it some more until you're confident. Then do it. Why put up with incompatibilities, workarounds, 'fixes', not to mention constant updates that you can't stop, when there's a better option. But admittedly there are some pretty cool free Win10 apps and games though, so dual boot to get the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOTICSUPERMAN Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Annoyingly I had to upgrade from 7 to 10. So I will probably have the same number. But also I have no idea where to begin on running 2 operating systems. I can barely run one XD I'm pretty sure that the problem lies in the fact that origins opens a window which asks wheather you want to run ra2 or yr. Is there a way to install red alert 2 from disk when you have no soviet disk, only an allied disk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fir3w0rx Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is there a way to install red alert 2 from disk when you have no soviet disk, only an allied disk? I don't think so, not legally anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOTICSUPERMAN Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Just so everyone knows, I'm crying inside. Am I the only person who got ra2 and yr from origin but can't run mods? Xwis doesn't run it either. so uninstalled everything (again) and just installed the ra2 and yr as standard. No cncnet or xwis or ini files or anything. But still nothing. Agh.
