This is a very quick guide to make RA2's music play in YR.
- Insert your RA2 CD (any side) into your CD drive.
- Copy theme.mix to your game directory as ecache*.mix where * is any string (ecachera2themes.mix is acceptable for example).
- Uncomment all the references to old tracks in your thememd.ini. It is recommended that you either leave this file in your ra2 directory or put it in the main for your mod expandmd##.mix file where ## is a number between 01 and 99.* You should not attempt to merge thememd.ini back into the main RA2 or YR .mix files as this will risk incompatibility with mods with no obvious cause and will make it impossible to install future patches.
- Please note that expandmd01.mix is part of the YR 1.001 patch and that expandmd02.mix and expandmd06.mix are currently reserved for community wide projects and thus should not be used. It is best to have your mod's main mix file be numbered above 10 to ensure future community projects are overridden as well.
To automate some of this work you could give the YR Playlist Modifier a try.
