A mod for Yuri's Revenge that reverses the roles of every original Red Alert 2 mission to play as the other side; defend Moscow against the Allied Chrono assault, or destroy the Statue of Liberty in New York.
This mod uses minimal actual changes to the game's code, and instead focuses on delivering a faithful adaptation of the original missions. Some of the minor changes that make this mod possible utilise Ares dll.
This mod is currently in development by myself (Thordorb) and with client work by Vodrix. Credit is also due to Rampastring for the DTA client we are modifying. Many thanks to our internal testers as well, making sure these maps are fun, fair and challenging!

Welcome Back Commanders,
It's been a long time since I last updated this page, or given any real update on the mod at all. Almost a year, in fact. I'm sorry about the silence but real life has to take priority and this project has involved a lot of uninteresting fine-tuning that doesn't make for engaging update content.
That said, the silence is broken. I'm happy to announce that the mod is in a complete state and now available for download. I am pretty confident that the work I've done has brought the mod up to a strong standard, so the full experience of Red Alert 2's Flipped campaigns will be available, as well as two bonus missions and all the game's original missions supported by the client.
You can download the mod here on ModDB, or follow this link to Google Drive, where the files are also hosted: Drive.google.com
Once that's done, the next question is... Yuri's Revenge when? This project is quite exhausting to work on, so you might not see YR content for a while. However, I definitely haven't abandoned this mod and you can expect at least some updates in the relatively near future.
If you're having difficulty installing the mod, refer to this tutorial I made on YouTube: Youtu.be
And while I have your attention, I just wanted to thank everyone who's been asking me about the progress of the mod in this hiatus period. From the Discord messages, emails, posts here on ModDB and comments on YouTube, it's been a big driving motivation for me to finish this first release of the mod.
And finally, this mod would not be possible without the hard work of everyone other than me involved. AlexB and the Ares Contributors have provided the tools to really enhance the game while retaining all the great core gameplay that gave RA2 its popularity. The CnCNet Client that makes all of these changes easier to manage and navigate is the work originally of Rampastring, and the specifics for this project were painstakingly hammered out by Vodrix, who also created the mod's installer. The main menu art is by CCHyper, whose work you've probably seen in all different facets of the C&C community. A few graphical tweaks to in-game infantry by AtomicNoodles have also helped to polish up some of the uncomplete aspects of the original game. And last, but by no means least, is the testers. NizzyStorm, Omega, ShadowKnight649, Koala with Hat, Paul With Many Voices and Vodrix have put countless hours into testing every tiny minutia of these missions to make sure they're stable and functional.
With that, good luck to everyone out there, and I'll see you in the future.

Does this works on steam?
This is already possible to play steam.
Point one. First open FM installer and install the mod in destination C: > Program Files x86 > Steam > steamapps > common > Command and Conquer Red Alert II.
Point two. Then open Steam and go to Steam settings and in the Steam settings there is Library and there you can add a foreign game.
Point three. Press add foreign game on Steam and it opens Search program, search is at the bottom, go there and do what is at point one, C: > Program Files x86 > Steam > steamapps > common > Command and Conquer Red Alert II and choose FMClient
Point four. Be careful when adding someone foreign game, errors occur.
Point five. The mod only works if Command and Conquer Red Alert II with Yuri's Revenge and ver 1.001 is installed.
Ok. So i have issues but they're most likely my fault.
-The games loads normally now, but the text is still "MISSING: FM1L22" or something.
-My mouse dissapears if activate the menu.
-I can still play the normal RA2.
So i can normally play like i did before. Copy the files from steamapp and install the game there. The only issue will be the text is missing (that could be fixed, i just dont know how). And the game migth need an extra minute or two to load. But goes well once it fully loads. And you can still see the main objectives in the main menu so take it from there!
If you have game errors please contact the developer,
For those who just create folders with RA2 and put the mod in and leave it somewhere on the hard drive or desktop, it doesn't work on Steam and Steam can't find the folder or the executable.
The game and mod must be in this order, see below.
C: > Program Files x86 > Steam > Steamapps > Common > Command and Conquer Red Alert II FM
Steam can only find foreign games in the Steam folder.
GOOD NEWS everybody. I found the error! My Toaster PC! It takes some time to load because the bigger the map the more it requires from the PC. I found out while playing Mental Omega.
The text missing must be just an error. It happens, this is a mod.
Thank you i will try it now! So i can still play the original RA2 even with the mod?
Because before this i installed this mod in a copy i made of the RA2 files (because i didnt want to lose the OG). But the games takes forever to load, i had bugs and the texts are not working.
I will tell you how it goes!
As long as you have the original game but without mods please.
Make it a special folder called Command and Conquer Red Alert II FM and put it there with the mod.
I did that too so that the original version wasn't lost.
The mod would have to go on steam.
If not, there is an error with Steam or the game.
If there is a Steam error, it is easy to fix this, restart the PC or repair Steam, in the event of a critical error, delete Steam and restart the PC and reinstall Steam.
I forgot something else: the Steam portal doesn't have any updates for the game or mods because it's foreign game.
