Greetings, could someone please advise me ? I've purchased and have been playing Command and Conquer The First Decade and would like to create my own maps for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge. I've downloaded Final Alert (1, 2) and am having no luck. The maps will not show up in the map-list. I am thinking this has something to do with the fact that the install folder/files from the C&C First Decade DVD are not even close to the originals that would be installed from the RA2 Disk. I would greatly appreciate help on this matter. thanks, J.
