Can anyone help me or at least give me a tutorial on how can I use Final Alert 2 for my mods and for the creation of missions using the added units i included in the game?

Any additions you make to the game will appear in FA2 along with the original units/buildings/objects.

Pressing F1 while using FA2 will bring up a guide with basic tutorials, you can also find more here & you are welcome to ask questions on any specific problems you are having.

I successfully added the units but whenever i select the unit that i added or the modified unit (e.g. apocalypse with a new voxel) it appears as invisible.

My co-modder told me to place the Final Alert 2 files together with my RA2 folder but the units are still invisible.

IIRC, FA2 only sees graphics in echacexx.mix and not expandxx.mix. Not sure tho.

So, I do need to put my assets on a mix file named as ecachexx.mix so that Final Alert 2 would read its graphics?

Not exactly "xx". This bit can be anything for ecache, any number between 00 to 99 for expand. I recommend you to use 00 to 99 for ecache too.
