The Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations audio files are in a format that cannot be read by Yuri's Revenge, so they must be converted.
You do not need to have The Covert Operations installed to extract the audio files; it can be done directly from the Command & Conquer:
The Covert Operations expansion game CD.
There are 14 music themes in The Covert Operations. The audio files must be converted from AUD to WAV. XCC Mixer can perform the conversion in
a two-step process that must be repeated for each audio file.
Creating the Covert Operations Music Pack:
- Refer to the following table to perform the directions below. Be sure to name the music pack filenames exactly, or the game will
not find them; and name the mix file exactly as well, or the YR Playlist Modifier
will not recognize that you have the Covert Operations music pack installed.

- Insert the Covert Operations CD into your CD drive. Using XCC Mixer, navigate to the CD's root directory. Open scores.mix.
[Help]
- Use XCC Mixer to convert (not extract) the files listed in the 'Source File' column of the table to WAV. You won't find the Map Theme or
Great Shot! tracks here; you'll do that in the next step.
[Help]
- Close scores.mix, and open Install\transit.mix. Convert (not extract) map1.aud and win1.aud.
[Help]
- The files are now in WAV format, but they do not use the proper compression. They must be converted again. Use XCC Mixer to now
convert the WAV files you just created to 22.050 kHz WAV IMA ADPCM format. [Help]
- Create a new MIX file, and name it ecachethemeCO.mix. Insert the 14 tracks listed in the table into this MIX.
[Help]
- Ensure that the new MIX file you have created is in your Red Alert 2 folder so the game can find it.
- If you wish, you can now delete the loose audio files you've been working with to create this music pack.
- Enable the Covert Operations soundtrack using the Playlist Modifier. During
the game, the Covert Operations music will be available.
