Hi everyone, hope everyone is enjoying the project! I've recently seen some issues regarding the map editor, and today I thought I'd write a brief tutorial in order to fix the dreaded "ra2.mix could not be loaded" pop-up. This pop-up is related to a setting within a file. If a player wants to fix this issue, all they will have to do is manually set the location of the directory of the mod in a single settings file.
Step 1: Navigate to the location where you have CnC: Final War installed, and find the Map Editor folder. Open that folder, and find the file "finalalert.ini". This is the file that controls the location of the ra2.mix that the editor struggles to find. The entry within finalalert.ini should look similar to this:
[TS]
Exe=C:\Westwood\Command & Conquer Red Alert(tm) II\FW\ra2.exe
Change the following line to match where you have the CnC: Final War mod installed. You do not need to specify the location of ra2.exe, just the directory location where the mod is installed. When changed, the following line should look something like
[TS]
Exe=D:\CnC Mods\FW\
If this fix does not provide the correct solution, please comment below and we can look into individual issues more in-depth.
