> I've got a little problem with the XCC MOD Creator/Launcher. I created a 200mb mod, exported it and then tried to launch it through the resulting file, but when it "extracts" all its files and runs RA2, the game just doesn't load. I have to terminate the XCC Mod Launcher through Windows' Task Manager and then Red Alert 2 loads with all the modded stuff (though I have to delete the leftover files afterwards).

Use the videos section, its gets dumped into the root folder IIRC.

Any category that gets put into expand(md)##.mix. Any files in this file override the default tiles.

As for terrain files.
