Brute Force mod

[mbnq]

Hey,

I wan't to share my mod that I'm making for a while.
Just finished version to use with Steam edition of RA2YR.
(supports modern windows and high resolutions)

Short description:
Using Einstein's time machine, you have escaped with your soldiers to an unspecified point in time from a world conquered by Yuri and his clones. Unfortunately, Yuri has pursued you. Expand your base, train new soldiers, defend against an army of mind-controlled animals and clones then destroy Yuri! You only have access to basic units. To get better stuff, look for scattered supply packs that contain random buildings, units, and bonuses. Brute Force is a mod that turns Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge into a kind of tower defense. You can play on any map, use included brutelizemap tool to make your favourite maps 100% compatible (optional). Play solo, with allied AI, or with another player in co-op (wip). 99% of assets comes from the vanilla game to maintain the original atmosphere of the RA2.

Notes:
- supports resolutions up to 4k
- does not require to install anything, just unzip the mod
- uses Ares and Phobos famous RA2YR extensions
- Maps with [BF] and [BFRMX] prefixes are supported, if you run the mod with bf_launcher.bat not applicable maps will be temporally disabled automatically.

To launch it via steam library go to Yuri's Revene properties, General, find launch options and put this into the edit box:

"yourpath\Command & Conquer Red Alert II\bf_launcher.bat" %command%

Replace yourpath with your game dir location. It should look like this (example):

"G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Command & Conquer Red Alert II\bf_launcher.bat" %command%

You can also run it without launcher (not recommended):

"yourpath\Syringe.exe" "gamemd.exe" %* -NOLOGO -b=38 %command%

ps. You can run any mod that uses Syringe this way.

What is the difference between the Steam ARES.dll and the normal one and can I use this version for MO too?

Vanilla game does not come with Ares.dll
It depends on the mod itself which version of Ares.dll it uses.

For more info about ares.dll look here:
