Locations of Stuff

Alright, I have a bunch of questions as to where I can find stuff within RA2: YR namely because I want to eventually replace them.

1. Multiplayer Load Screens
2. Country Spec. Weapons (When you see the load screen, you see the image of the special unit, what it's called, and a description... Where are each of these?)
3. Pause menu buttons (I want to change Yuri's)

1. You have xcc mixer
2. Use it

Suggestion, try looking through the RA2MD.MIX

Wow, the geniuses at Westwood made different palets for the different load screens... How ghay.

But I've been going through the string table and still can't find all of what I'm looking for. For example, I changed the German unique weapon to the RA3 Guardian Tank, but if I try to load Germany in multiplay, it'll still say "TANK DESTROYER" at the top of the load screen. I was wondering where that text comes from...

Hey the1corrupted I suggest you either search better for the string or use DCoder's tip in this recent topic http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19390

But here's the thing, I've scanned the string table up and down and this line of text isn't on the image nor can I find it in any of the strings. (COOP, DESC, GUI, etc.) but I know this text is editable because I've seen it done in countless mods.

Change Name:TNKD from Tank Destroyer to Guardian Tank or whatever. The special unit strings on the load screens are hardcoded to the units strings.

Also there is a reason in YR why each different load screen has a new palette due to the flexibility in avaliable number of colours which helps modders greatly instead of one palette like in RA2.

In RA2 there is only 1 palette for every skirmish load screen.

Also the naming is quite logical.

You really shouldn't be so lazy and experiment more, think logically like

1) where else do I see Tank Destroyer, Desolator in the game ...
