WW 2 Mod

Nikademis Von Hisson

I am trying to create a new World War 2 mod for RA2:Yuri's Revenge. It will be as many battles of WW II (roughly 25 in all) I can do. I am trying to add new countries. I kept the list in order, I edited the countries with the CSF editor. I left the names as they are but put different countries in the smaller box. All my countries show up with their new flags. I have on the Allies side USA, England, France, Nod side Russia & Poland, on the 3rd side I have Germany, Italy & Japan. I edited the building & vehicles for each side. I have tried using the original countries names & the game crashes, then I tried using the new country names & the game crashes. I am using maps that I created as tests in skirmish mode to see if all countries work. I have a mix file that contains the vehicles & buildings in it & the rules are loose in my RA2 file. This happens without the rock patch & with the rock patch. the following is some of the ini file. I got the American/British/French to work. Does the Good/Evil thing make any difference? I read the tut encycolpedia & since i have the germans/alliance (japan formerly korea)/africans(italy) on 1 side....2 are allied & 1 soviet what do i put?

This is not a tutorial, Moved and didn't like that font size 18.

If you wanna have WW 2 Mod then wait for D-Day's release...

You posted it in the Tutorial Warehouse, while this ain't a tutorial... Also, as DA said, wait for the release of D-Day (a RA2 mod with the same idea as yours) Wink
