So, today i'll teach you how to add a new unit for vanilla US.
This will be called the CannonJeep. Basicaly a HUMVEE with the Crusader Tank weapon.
So let's get started.
First open Final BIG and open INIZH.big file. Them extract all files onto your Generals ZH directory. (They will be already in their positions, so just go to edit, extract all.)
The files we'll use for this tutorial will be:
> AmericaVeichle.ini (go to Data->INI-> Object)
> CommandButton.ini (go to Data->INI)
> CommandSet.ini (go to Data->INI)
AmericaVeichle.ini contains all veichles for vanilla US side.
CommandButton.ini contains all buttons in the game, and we'll need to use it to add a new button to buy the Cannon Jeep
CommandSet.ini basicaly puts the button you've made into the slot you want.
So let's get started, first open AmericaVeichle.ini
The first code you see is the AmericaVehicleHumvee.

End
And paste it in the end of the file. Now let's get started with the true modding!
Fist we need to change the object name to
Code:
Object AmericaVehicleCannonJeep
Good now we have our new unit! Now we need to change it's weapons and cost and build time!
Code:
; ***DESIGN parameters ***
DisplayName = OBJECT:Humvee
Side = America
EditorSorting = VEHICLE
TransportSlotCount = 3 ;how many "slots" we take in a transport (0 == not transportable)
WeaponSet
Conditions = None
Weapon = PRIMARY CrusaderTankGun
Weapon = SECONDARY HumveeMissileWeaponAirDummy
End
WeaponSet
Conditions = PLAYER_UPGRADE
Weapon = PRIMARY CrusaderTankGun
Weapon = SECONDARY HumveeMissileWeapon
Weapon = TERTIARY HumveeMissileWeaponAir
PreferredAgainst = TERTIARY AIRCRAFT
End
What we've done? We've changed the PRIMARY weapon of the Cannon Jeep to the CrusaderTankGun weapon. How can i add my own and new weapon? YOu'll need to edit the Weapons.ini (go to Data->INI) but we'll not cover it today. Let's make our CannonJeep Cost less? and build faster?
Now it's done!!!! We now need to add the buttons! For this open CommandButton.ini and find HUMMER.
The code that you'll find will be this one:
Code:
CommandButton Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleHumvee
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = AmericaVehicleHumvee
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructAmericaVehicleHumvee
ButtonImage = SAHummer
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUSABuildHumvee
End
Again copy it and paste on the end of the file. Them we need to change the object name.
Code:
CommandButton Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleCannonJeep
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = AmericaVehicleCannonJeep
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructAmericaVehicleHumvee
ButtonImage = SAHummer
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUSABuildHumvee
End
Now the button is done! We need to setup the slot in the CommandSet.ini. Open it!!!!
As you can see, the max limit of buttons in a place (like war factory) is 14 slots. But if you see you'll notice that the slot 10 is clear we just need to add the slot 10 and put the button code!
