On that sentence there's just about everything wrong. It makes no sense at all.

@TAK: Python is a programming language, but this has nothing to do with RA2. (Ares is C++ and there are no tools or "modified exes" created with Python)

I know it's a programming language, but I meant "what code?".
Should have made it clearer.

I'm pretty sure he's asking about which files he needs to bundle if he writes a mod installer with Python... but that'd condone piracy.

I see it's C++ that I need, so which files from my mod would I need to make an .exe?

It's piracy if you include the files in a modded exe from RA2 because it's not freeware. It's not piracy if you have the mod installer require the files read from an end-user's directory and injected to the exe from there.

See the files Mental Omega requires from you to install it, should be what you require.

I believe you mean you want your own mod to have another 'game.exe', It's possible since literally many larger mods were using a 3rd 'game.exe' like Mental Omega and Red-Resurrection both before the DTA client was released.

Ya I don't necessarily want to add RA2 stuff in the exe, but just the .exe have my own created files and require RA2 game installed for it to be usable.
