Hello AlphaDMF Welcome to Deezire Online Forums

is this for RA2 or YR?

is it called expand02.mix?

SHP files normaly go to into ecache(md)xx.mix...if the mix file name ended with a (md) (without brackets), this means the mix files will only work with yuris revenge.

ok..regarding .mix files stuff:

expandxx.mix contains: .INI, .PKT, .MAP files
in other words, it contains the INItialization settings and map files that are to be loaded in the game..

ecachexx.mix contains: .SHP, .VXL, .HVA files
in other words, it contains the graphic files of the game..

the same goes with YR but instead it has an md (mission disk) entry like:

expandmdxx.mix and ecachemdxx.mix..it contains stuff the same as i mentioned above..

I am using TS BTW, but there is no other thread to guide me in this kind of editing.

Thankyou for the link, but while im online, how do you get the little animations on custom buildings to work? I tried to make it like a gif but I get nothing out of that, plus when I go to change PCX's to SHP's (in this case six PCX's) I set the count frames to 6, because of cause there are six PCX's, but the XCC mixer app spews XP 'Encountered a problem' errors at me..I have the ecache02, and expand 02, with the ecache 02 file inside the expand02 file..But only a cameo works, not the building.
