This update is aimed at modders. For immediate fun, try RA2YR Enhanced, an open mod included in and entirely made with RedModAlert SDK which you can use to start your own mods:
RedModAlert SDK has been updated with many fixes and improvements along with more tools, code and tutorials, completing the journey of enhancing the modding of Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge. This doesn't mean the story is over but that a reasonable milestone has been reached and new opportunities have become available!
Fairy is the latest sprite editor (for .shp files) included in the SDK. Providing advanced functionality, it allows artists to mod the game much faster than ever before, without having to watch their every step for all sorts of pitfalls. Although mainly intended for converting already done artwork into game assets, Fairy also offers some basic drawing support mostly meant for retouches.
If you're new to spriting, you should also check out the new tutorials for a full introduction before you begin.
Another honorable mention is World-Altering Editor, the latest map editor made by Rampastring with the help of the community. It's not finished yet, but this is getting closer and closer to the hot spot, already becoming a good option for making new maps. For now, just a download link has been included in the SDK.
You can download the latest version of RedModAlert SDK from the following link:
This project has not earned and never will not even one single dime. This was all done out of sheer love for the game. If any of this is useful to you, please support it by promoting it in your work so others will know about and benefit from all of this. A simple logo of any size will do. Not required, of course, but really appreciated. Help the good stuff stay alive or else trash will take over. Thank you and rejoice the fun of modding your favorite game with the best tools out there!
Till next time!

Hey, nice mod, and welcome back! <3
Thanks SCIP but I wasn't away. Doing this for fun whenever I can, not 24/7, so it may seem that way. I'm actually trying to release more stuff altogether as a package to boost the community but this takes time to do it right (Yvory's been upgraded as well), hope I can do it by summer or fall...
Hi Trufales great work on the mod. I have a question I'd like to ask before I re-install my game. I tried a Crazy Ivan skirmish and both enemies (seen with Allied SpySat) are more or less idle. No pressure is coming from them at all. Is that supposed to happen? Also they seem to ignore capturable tech buildings completely (and I literally placed right near their spawn points. Also for a Soviet AI, I placed some empty buildings nearby to garrison, but it destroyed them instead.
Now there are three issues I might see here:
1. Using a custom map messes AI (I find it unlikely, though maybe I should try an official map then).
2. I have CnCNet installed. Now, your installer warned me about possible incompatibility, but application-wise I had no issues, game runs smoothly. Could it be that still?
3. Maybe I just didn't wait enough, and AI players at Crazy Ivan difficulty just wait to build a ginormous army before attacking, I never really did finish a game with the mod, as I was "disappointed" hahah.
The latter point seems likely based on what I read from previous comments. Although I noticed the enemy bases stuck at 1 factory only, though again, this might simply a better management of resources. There is still the issue of capturing tech buildings and not garrisoning (or even destroying) civilian buildings.
Thank you in advance for your time. And awesome work there! I also noticed a great deal of rebalancing in quite a lot of aspects of the game. :P
AI plays quite randomly. One game they play lame, another they can wipe you out. Computer players can build many factories, depends on the map and the space they have around. They also capture any tech buildings on the map, most likely oil derricks, including your own!
Custom maps can override AI behavior and mod settings, they can act like little mods of their own, some of them can even disable the whole mod. RA2YR Enhanced is mainly intended for skirmish games on standard maps (without custom AI), although you can play the modded campaigns too. If you're a strong player, try an unbalanced setup, for example I enjoy playing 3v5 on Arena of War map. When my allies play bad I usually lose because I'm left alone 1v5 lol
Try playing a few more games and different setups to match your skills. AI starts fairly to allow human players of all levels to develop, but it can get really strong if left alone. AI will also have some big enhancements in the future, once the latest version of Phobos will be released.
Thanks for the review by the way, have fun!
Hi, first I'd like to thank you for still making mods for an old game like this, its well appreciated! I'm hoping you'll be able to help me out with my problem.
I had downloaded RA2 Yuri's revenge couple years ago from a website (I believe it was Repack-games.com or something along those lines). It was obvious it was a rudimentary hack but it got the job done so I was happy. Then recently, I came across this mod, and I rly wanted to play so it. So I thought why the heck not? Let's try to install it, and see what happens. As expected some errors came up when installing but to my suprise, it actually worked! I couldnt make too many condor or siege choppers or the game would crash but other than that it worked fine!
Since then however I was looking for a good version of RA2 Yuri's Revenge and today I found one! So I deleted the old version I had, installed the new one. Tried to install your mod but now a lot more errors came up and I can't even click the install button.
These were the errors that came up:
System.FormatException: De indeling van de invoertekenreeks is onjuist.
bij System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)
bij System.Number.ParseDouble(String value, NumberStyles options, NumberFormatInfo numfmt)

My question obviously is how to fix this? Is there a fix for this? Plz help because I did enjoy getting back in this fun lil game, but only because of the mod. The brutal vanilla AI just doesnt feel satisfying to fight against. Thx in advance for your time.
Thanks for the report! It seems to be a cultural issue.
Edit: this was fixed in RA2YR Enhanced 8.1
Let me know if you encounter any other issues.
Tried to install the 8.0 version of the mod it didn't probably finished successfully as it the button below the installation were not activated. Tried to uninstall it still stuck there says that i have to use the 8.0 installer (which I am). Tried on new folder still the same tried on a different drive the same. Any idea solution? Can't find something in the registry
Could be a security software issue. Ares and Phobos use "syringe.exe" to patch the game while running. Some antivirus software may check and intercept that file as being dangerous while the mod is installing.
Also, RA2YR Enhanced doesn't store settings into registry, check "C:\Users\$user$\AppData\Roaming\RA2YRE" for error logs. If you still can't fix it you can pm me with more details and screenshots, maybe we can work something out.
thank you i have yvory!
Great!
