== Adding a New [[Cameo]] to RA2 (By [[Kane 148]]) ==

Tools Needed: [[XCC]] [[Mixer]], [[XCC]] [[Mix Editor]], [[Red Alert 2]], [[Art]].ini

This tutorial will show you how to take an new [[cameo]] that is in PCX format and add it to Red Alert 2.

=== Step One: ===
Open [[XCC]] [[Mixer]] and go to the directory that the [[cameo]] is in. Make sure that it is in the correct pallette, and is named correctly. For more info on this, read the [[cameo]] making [[cameo making|tutorial]].

=== Step Two: ===
Select the [[cameo]] you want to add, and right click on it and select "Copy as SHP (TS)". The [[SHP]] file will be placed in your [[XCC]] folder. You can now close [[XCC]] [[Mixer].

===Step Three: ===
Open [[XCC]] [[Mix Editor]]. Now click "New", and save it in your [[RA2]] directory as "ecacheXX.[[mix]]" (XX= a number between 1-99). Now click "Insert", and select the [[cameo]] [[SHP]] and click "Open". Now click "Save", "Compact", and "Close", in that order. You can now exit [[XCC]] [[Mix Editor]].

=== Step Four: ===
Now open [[Art]].ini in [[Wordpad]] and go to your unit's code. Now add these lines to it (or modify the existing lines):

Cameo=XXXX
AltCameo=XXXX
(XXXX= the cameo SHPs' filename)

=== Step Five: ===
Save [[Art]].ini, and place it in your [[RA2]] directory if it’s not already there.

That’s it, you have added the [[cameo]]. You can add more [[cameo]]s by following these steps, except instead of making a new [[MIX]] file for each [[cameo]], open the existing ecacheXX.[[mix]] and add the new [[cameos]] to it.
