Zero Hour has everything and more. It even replaces some old coding with new ones. The only thing ZH doesn't have is a Particle Tester, which was in Generals. QUICK_EDIT

In Generals/ZH you can create your own particles (actually, all anims except model anims are particles). It seemed there was a Particle Tester/Viewer in Generals, but they got rid of it in ZH, because of changed coding in particles. QUICK_EDIT
In vGens, there's a few weird bugs. First is the shroud select bug. You can select units in the shroud by dragging the selection box over the area. There's also a force fire bug, which I forgot what does it do.
ZH has a few new modules, namely BikeContain, W3DOverlordAircraftDraw, and a few more which I can't remember immidietely. There's also possibility for more command button space in the command set. In-game, it is already more than vGens, at 14 compared to 12.
Though vGens have the Particle Editor, it is not really needed to edit particles. You can do it with Notepad. The editor is there to help you around for the first few particles, then it's easier to just mess around with notepad when you are experienced. But don't quote me on that, I have not learned particle editing myself.
The force fire when used will tell your units to continually attack a spot, whether it be an allied unit until it's destroyed, or the terrain... It's actually a bit good for the area of effect attacks like the SCUD Launchers that are upgraded to have chemical warheads (I think it's in the game, haven't played GLA in a while.) QUICK_EDIT
Huh? I have a particle editor working in ZH. You just drop ParticleEditor.dll into the ZH directory, worked for me at least. And vGen WB does do the same error detection, it just doesnt report it in the same way. QUICK_EDIT
Generals and ZH have quite a bit of differences. Actually its not too far fetched to say that ZH is almost a completely different game. Is there anything specific you need to know? _________________ Go to CJ get yo BJ only 2.99 fo a limited time - The Chronicals of BJ written by myself. QUICK_EDIT
