If you open a vxl that doesn't have a hva file it will automatically make one for you.

New questions this time something important I can only play my mod on one map, resulting to a crash of I play on another map I might upload the crash report

too bad you don't give even the slightest details, otherwise someone might be able to help.
Does it crash
-during map loading?
-ingame?
-when building something special?
-when the AI is playing?
-when only a certain house is chosen?
-only on a certain theater?
-what makes your "one map" special?
-do you tried to revert your latest ini changes?
-what were your latest ini changes?
...
...

Well yes it was not enough, so what I could see is
-the loading time takes slightly more time
-the crash happens after that the map is loaded
-the changes are maybe that I deleted the E1 and E2
-the map is a island in a urban theatre

Make sure both sides have at least one unit that AllowedToStartInMultiplayer. That you deleted E1 and E2 gives a hint that your mod may not have this, and that is bound to cause issues. I'm not sure if it causes downright crashes though.

It's probably best if you post the log file and except.

A gap generator that simulates the fog of war?
Can you explain how this would be different from the 'regular' Gap Generator?

If you mean by that that the map terrain should still be visible (but "dimmed") under the shroud, but units should become invisible - that is not possible. The Shroud of Tiberian Sun is apparently entirely disabled in RA2/YR. Once a part of the map is explored, it stays fully visible, even if not within the sight range of any of your units/structures.

Shroud can - to my knowledge - not be generated by any sort of GapGenerator setting.

I said stimulate,what i meant is a gap generator that is invisible and affect the entire map

I think you mean simulate as stimulate means something different. Yes, that will a fog of war like effect except fog of war is separate from the shroud.

I hate the autocorrection in this phone(simulat and not stimulat) ,I already solved it .for my second question,how can i replace some colours from the voxels pallete

EDIT:I found OS Palette editor but which palette is the one used by voxels
Unittem right

you cant really replace them all you like. VPL will be messed up if you change them carelessly.

Not all, I only need 2 colors. And I applied it to the voxel editor, how can I apply it to the game putting it in the game's directory doesn't seem to work

Insert it into the ecache mixfile.

Just in case you're using it, the Custom Palette feature of Ares does not (yet?) work with voxels, only with SHP. So that may be why your modified palette is not working.

I saw some mods using custom pallets how could they so that, oh and its not custom it's a edited palette, unittemp to be more specific

Put in expandmdXX.mix. Ecache load order is lower than the pal files in original RA2YR mixes.
