YR unit sounds problem.

Steve_1993 · Posted: Fri Feb 06, 2015 2:06 am Post subject: YR unit sounds problem.

The problem is: When I'm adding new sound effects(e.g mammoth mk2's railgun sound),or new soundtrack to RA2,they're working fine(in RA2).But when I'm playing Yuri's Revenge,it appears that the unit sounds are not working at all! The only working unit sounds,are the RA2's one(not the YR's ones).That happened to me before,and the only solution was to uninstall and reinstall both RA2 and Yuri's Revenge,in order to fix it.Is there an another way to fix it?

RA2 uses expandXX.mix and YR uses expandmdXX.mix. YR uses md in the filename for INI and other files also.
You should make the changes separately for RA2 and YR.

That's not his problem.

There's a loose audio.bag and audio.idx in your folder, Steve. That file didn't got a md rename, so when you play YR with your modded RA2 audio.bag/idx, you won't hear the YR sounds ofc since they're not in that bag/idx.

The solution is to either remove the audio.bag/idx of your RA2 mod's from your RA2 folder before launching YR, either simply mod YR's audio.bag/idx instead of RA2's (YR bag/idx has all the sounds of RA2 excluding the 5 propaganda ambient sounds played during that RA2 Soviet mission where you defended the Apoc's blueprints).

Last time I modified the game,it was when I added some themes from TS to RA2,I think that's the problem.I have another question:In which game file the Yuri's Revenge themes are stored,since I can't find a thememd.mix anywhere in the game files?

If you're using the original disc versions, thememd.mix is on the CD, and it never gets copied to game dir by the installer.
