> > > Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me add new voices to the units in Red Alert 2. I have extracted the audio.bag and audio.idx files with the sound editor, and have made my own .wav file voices. The question is, how do I add them to the audio.bag file?? I tried the "drag and drop" method, but it didnt seem to work, any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

that might confuse some ppl.

I didn't have the program running at the time of typing, so I couldn't remember whether there was an OK button, or whether it said something else similar (some programs have OK, some have Save, some have Close. I didn't actually mean the top-right x button)
Now I've checked, and there is an OK button. So I shan't be telling anyone else (or close or whatever) anymore. :-)
