INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

To install it, just extract all the files into your RA2. Don't worry, even if you have other mods installed it won't overwrite them. After unzipping all the files, just run enable.bat to enable RealRA2, it should automatically disable other mods that are present. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE! Anything that says "rename XXXXX" or "missing file" is the batch file renaming the necessary files. Any renaming that has to be done is done by IT, not YOU. Ignore all the messages that come up in the screen that loads. After that any time you play you'll be using my mod. If you don't want to play my mod anymore, just run disable.bat and it will disable itself and attempt to restore any mod that was enabled before. Same things as before, ignore anything that comes on the screen. That's the file doing its job. If you want to delete it, why bother? Just leave it disabled, takes a total of 4 megs so its just a waste of time.
