Hey all XD
Subject description: Mod problems :L
Hey guys i was kinda hoping you could help me with a small mod with generals zero hour,i have had alot of exp in modding weapons and tech tree creation but i'm going for a full try this time, to make a whole new side,i'm not adding anything new as in units meshs or textures(i'm not that type of modder srry guys),however i could use a hand when it comes down to new unit buttons and icons and the odd text errors which i may incounter,should i be successfull i'll create two more sides and post em on here.
ok enough of the boring talk
this is how far i got:
> I made the new side selectable and is partly ok
> I added 2 more colours but they are both "missing"(text(also has the colour on the missing text))
> My new Side is the Flame General(yes i'm shure many people have made simular)
> My side has a full china Control Bar so i'm good on that front
The main errors are the moment which i'm curretly in need of help is of 2 things
1. how do i change the option on the general selection so its not "missing INI: FlameGeneral"
2. how do i change the colour options so it reads "Black", instead of "Missing"
Image of issue at the bottum for better idea of whats going on Ty in advance!!!
rawr, you referenced a wrong point in the csf file. Double check your csf name for White. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

thats problem the main problem in this lol,
i have no idea how to use the csf file i tryed opening it with xcc but it makes no sence.
PS any idea about general's loading screens and how to make my own?
along with editing the units buttons ty in advance XD i'm noob _________________ QUICK_EDIT
There's a special csf editor for Generals. Take some time and look for it. Once you get it, you can just specify a new text string and name with what you want. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Thanks for the quick reponse,
it seems to work much like the str files in C&C 3/KW.
do you have any idea about the icons/buttons,or general loading screens? _________________ QUICK_EDIT
uhh, about buttons and icons, etc. You should look in the .big files. They are floating around in there somewhere. _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

High Tech Napalm
FireStorm (plane drop) General Power
Flame-Thrower Infantry

some or most of my stuff is done in csf now
,i maybe able to use str file to get a few missing strings though.
my only problem now is that button/images are nearly imposible to find or edit.
Update!!
i've got the loading screen to tell me the factions name successfully and also the option to display properly on the drop down bar,the name,colours and options are perfect,
I now have my general's template thanks everyone.
General Iona
Tech:Flame
Pride:Demon Dragon Tank
Rank:AA
(due to rating of napalm weaponary and the lack of humanity of the deadly weapon,napalm is a weapon china chooses to look down on,most generals agree that Nukeular power is the way forward for china)
I can now say that i'm planing a USA Missle General as well,
My General for GLA is most likely to be the most orignal idea,
i'm planing to cover the missed out parts of China,USA,GLA tech ideas _________________ QUICK_EDIT
