First of all, you need the following:
1. Yuri's Revenge 1.001 patch installed (English version can be downloaded HERE)
2. Mental Omega 2.0psi main executable
3. NPSE #0022 (included with 2.0psi download above)
4. 2.0psi Patch 2 (included with 2.0psi download above)
And that's all! You don't need any Rock Patches, you don't need any other version of NPatch, you don't need Launchbase, you don't need Ares.
TO ACTIVATE THE MOD:
1. Make sure your Red Alert 2 is patched to version 1.006.
2. Make sure your Yuri's Revenge is patched to version 1.001 - if not, then patch it!
3. The final "make sure": make sure no other mods or mod files are present in your RA2YR directory. You can use Marshall's CleanUp program to remove redundant files.
4. Place Mental Omega 2.0psi executable and the patch file (XMLF thing) in RA2YR directory.
5. Install NPSE #0022.
6. Run the mod launcher (exe) and "Activate the mod".
If you did everything correctly, you should see this in the bottom-right corner of the menu:
TO REMOVE THE MOD:
1. After you're done playing, quit the game. Make sure (yeah) that the mod launcher is still on when you close the game. If it is, all mod files will be removed automatically.
2. Uninstall NPSE #0022.
TO PLAY MENTAL OMEGA 2.0PSI ONLINE:
Just make sure that all players are using the same version of the mod and NPSE, however I cannot guarantee 100% online stability for version 2.0psi. You can play the mod on both XWIS and LAN. You can also try VPN software like Tunngle - check this video for instructions.
TO PLAY ASSAULT MODE:
Well, this is a different thing, because I made a mistake and 2.0psi doesn't load Assault Mappacks properly. You'd have to download those mappacks, install them and then rename MIX files with those maps to expandmdXX.mix where XX is an index higher than the one used for Mental Omega mix files.
Assault mode will be fixed and fully supported in version 3.0.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Why can't I play as Yuri/Epsilon?
A: You did not install NPSE#0022.
Q: Why does AI do nothing but spam Police Vans?
A: You did not install NPSE#0022.
Q: Does Mental Omega 2.0 work with The Ultimate Collection version of YR?
A: No and it will not be fixed. However, 3.0 will work with it.
A lot of these instructions you already have on the cncguild page, it was about time they got on moddb perhaps? xD
glad there's finally a working link for Assault Mappacks as well, nice.
So, what about The First Decade?
I haven't used TFD myself but from what I've been told that it's basically the same way, except that YR is already patched to 1.001.
Hey Speeder, do you know why I cannot update NPSE #0022 and I did have YR version 1.001 on my file and I got this message 'The NPSE requires version 1.001 of YR. Please download and install patch.'
I have this problem too (windows10 32 bits
what is TFD ?
NPSE #0022=Oops! This link appears to be broken.
Yuri's Revenge 1.001 patch=old file is not found
how to fix this??plz respond!!
NPSE link has been fixed.
about the patch. if you've run it on your computer and then it said "old file not found" then reinstall the game or put your old .exe file back. dont crack it. do the update. then instal NPSE and then the mod and then play...
where i can get the original .exe file? i've lost the installer
mine did this, i assume its because we have a later patch and the old file that patch 1.001 would have replaced is no longer there. just skip this bit and continue. see if it works then
Took me a year to realize this was here. I never understood how to install the patch or assault mappacks. Nevertheless, thank you very much.
Boy do I feel stupid :)
I keep getting an error message: "Error finding game" right after I click "ACTIVATE THE MOD".
I'm using TFD (RA2 1.006 and YR 1.001), Win7 64bit and I've followed all the steps above.
Also, if it helps, I don't need link 1 (at top of page), link 2 is included in link 3, and link 4 has been deleted.
Broken links fixed.
I need help! I tried to install The NPSE but it keeps saying that i dont have it installed but it is installed. Anyone know how to do this?
Me neither
Is YR link for YR 1.001 with or without RA2 because when I was downloading YR it came with RA2, but I already had it, and how do I patch it to 1.001???
I can`t install NPatch, installation programm writes, that there is no installed game, but it is installed. What can you tell me to do it right
P.S. I can`t download another game
so wheres yuri's side? seen it said u didnt install the mod but i did. i fallowed it and put everything there. and everyones there but yuri and epsilion i guess
so wheres yuri's side? seen it said u didnt install the mod but i did. i fallowed it and put everything there. and everyones there but yuri and epsilion i guess
you hadn`t installed NPatch, without it you can`t use many things in that mod
RA2 doesn't seem to work on Windows 7. Add a patch or something.
In the bottom-right corner of the menu it is written MO 2.0psi |NPSE instead of 2.0psi P2 |NPSE
I followed this tutorial the best I could. Help please?
Because you activate the wrong mod? They have 2.0psi mod and 2.0c mod executable.
it wont let me install NP_SE_0022 it just tells me that i need to update my yuris revenge to 1.001 even though its already at that version any solutions?
I've been playing this mod for a couple of weeks now and LOVING IT!
If after the installation, you get the error message:
"Error finding game":
-reinstall YR (using your original disk, as MO does not work with illegal copies). This should fix the Windows registry entries for YR).
NOTE: NPSE#0022 does NOT work with the TFD 1.03 no-cd patch.
I have installed the MOD with Desura and installed the NPatch SE 0022 for 2.0 but it keeps saying Error Activating mod. Oh and i have the first decade. Any way to fix this problem
please help, i cant use allied spy to steal money...
Please help,
I cant use allied spy to steal money, cant infiltrate battle labs, war factories, infantries and power supplies...
The only two things i can do with allied spy is to disguised and infiltrate bunkers or building with enemies on it.
I already have the ff. requirements:
red alert 2 v.1.006, yuri's revenge v.1.001
Mental Omega APYR 2.0psi + Patch 2
which came from Moddb.com
NPSE #0022
but when im playing, it only says "MO 2.0psi | NPSE"
not the one in the tutorial "2.0psi 2 | NPSE"
This happaned to me once too. You need to make sure that the mod launcher is IN your RA2 directory. If it's not in, you couldn't get patch 2. Idk y the mod launcher still lauches the mod even if it's not in the RA2 directory.
If that doesn't work, your firewall or UAC or any more security softwares perhaps have prevented the mod launcher from being put into your RA2 directory. You could try lowering your protection (at your own risk :[!) or allow the the whole MO packet to make changes in your computer
what the heck is a NPSE #22 ?
It's the required patching thing for you to have Epsilon factions & their campaign. It would also prevent AI from spamming police cars.
where i can get the original one ? SteppeNomad... I can only find the patch thingy for original, but don't have the full file for original.
Anybody here, especially the Mentalmeister, knows how to have the full MO-specific OSTs played IN-GAME? I've download all 18 of them, put them in my RA2 directory, saved the thememd.ini. But I still could only hear the 7 YR OSTs?
CAN I PLAY MENTAL OMEGA WITH PIRATED VERSION
No, you can't, because NPSE patch will not edit modified files which the pirated version(s) contain. So you'll need to original if you want to play it fully.
I'm having a problem. I did everything in the instructions, and the normal RA2 and YR run fine, but the MO 2.0 psi patch 2 with the xml patch file in dir and the launcher in dir too -
So I run launcher as admin, but I get error message saying "Error Reading Mod" WTF? I make shortcut, same thing.
I am using a virtual drive YR disc. My real disc got scratched beyond repair, so I installed RA2 + YR with virtual cds, but used my legit serials. WTF? Should work no? I tried Win XP compatibility, still no go. Also dl assualt mappacks, renamed them to expandmd69 & expandmd70. Is that a bad thing?
Alright, I figured it out. Turns out teh Random Map button is the accept button. It's all good i can now play this game, **** yeah.
I can't install NPSE #22 ?
I don't understand what's happining i try to instal English version and appear this:Not Found

could you help me.. (:
hey, can anyone tell me that what is "tech lvl 1-10" and "tech lvl -1"??
I'm running out of computer space and I don't understand how to remove it. Help?
So if i have launchbase, i can't install this mod? It won't work or what?
when i can get mental omega 3.0 i'm really not indulgent please give me mirror download if it has been released
Is (Mental Omega 2.0psi main executable) a zip file or just one file? when I download it here I only get one file
Speeder, is MO2.0 compatible with a cracked version off RA2/RA2YR? (A downloaded version from the internet is a cracked version right? right.) Because I downloaded it from the site ''Kickass Torrents''.
Only if you manage to install 1.001 patch and then NPSE.
Ok thanks. Yea I managed to do that so that's good. ^.^
Ow oops I wasn't logged in when I replied to your comment so yea that comment was from me haha. :3
Hi Speeder me again, on this page it says at .7 ''If you did everything correctly, you should see this in the bottom-right corner of the menu:'' and at the picture it says ''2.0psi P2 NPSE'', but when I start up the mod, it says ''2.0psi P2 1.001''. Is this wrong? And could I fix it? Thanks. =)
i got same thing what do i do
