Possible Way To Make New Side In YR

iceman559

yo, I am making a mod for YR and combined the ally countries to just allies and the soviet countries to just soviets. This allowed me to add up to 6 new sides. well, i added 3. they all show up in the country list when you start a game, but the thing is, when you go to yuri, third in the list, it says your germany, and tries to laod as germany, so it crashes the mission. I was wondering if there was a way to edit some file to get the list to point to the appropriate side?

extract the flag file from the local.mix (or localmd.mix) inside your ra2.mix (or ra2md.mix) and edit it. Place it back in the ecache (I think it's in the ecache of your expandmdXX.mix)

thats not my problem, my problem is that when I load it, it loads wrong country, i know how to do all that, ok, let me try to put it simpler. You want to play as Yuri, you cant right now, it tries to load germany and then it says, "Can't read scenario!" and goes back to the mission select screen

ok, i dont know what I did, but it will load as yuri now, but it still shows all of the German loading text like on the map, it says, "Missing Name:Germany" and then encounters an internal error as soon as game finishes loading

Missing Name: Germany = .csf file needs this name. Use XCC String Editor tool inside XCC Mixer to fix it.

Internal Error might be a problematic unit... check if the codes of the starting units are correct...
