Will it work in generals challenge too? Or any way to get a vanilla faction to play generals challenge? Edited by user Tuesday, September 23, 2014 8:59:39 AM(UTC)

All that is easy
Yes this will work FO generals challenge
To add mor you need:
Starting unit 0 = xxx
Starting unit 1= xxx
Etc.
And to change to vanilla just change the starting building and dozer to that of the vanilla faction |

I'm not sure if that will work as it may just spawn one building on top of the other
Feel free to try but if it fails please let us know |

Code:
PlayerTemplate FactionChina
Side = China
BaseSide = China
PlayableSide = Yes
StartMoney = 0
PreferredColor = R:255 G:0 B:0
IntrinsicSciences = SCIENCE_CHINA
PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank1 = SCIENCE_CHINA_CommandSetRank1
PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank3 = SCIENCE_CHINA_CommandSetRank3
PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank8 = SCIENCE_CHINA_CommandSetRank8
SpecialPowerShortcutCommandSet = SpecialPowerShortcutChina
SpecialPowerShortcutWinName = GenPowersShortcutBarChina.wnd
SpecialPowerShortcutButtonCount = 10
DisplayName = INI:FactionChina
StartingBuilding = ChinaCommandCenter AmericaCommandCenter
;StartingBuilding1 = AmericaCommandCenter
StartingUnit0 = ChinaVehicleDozer
StartingUnit1 = ChinaVehicleDozer
ScoreScreenImage = China_ScoreScreen
LoadScreenImage = SNFactionLogoPage_China
LoadScreenMusic = Load_China
ScoreScreenMusic = Score_China
;HeadWaterMark = SCTempSelectPortrait ; don't use unless we add a "generalshead for non selected generals
FlagWaterMark = WatermarkChina
EnabledImage = SSObserverChina
BeaconName = MultiplayerBeacon
SideIconImage = GameinfoCHINA
GeneralImage = China_Logo
OldFaction = Yes ; This faction was available in the original Generals and should be available even if the oldFactionsOnly flag is set
ArmyTooltip = TOOLTIP:BioStrategyLong_China
Features = GUI:BioFeatures_China
MedallionRegular = ChinaGeneral_slvr
MedallionHilite = ChinaGeneral_blue
MedallionSelect = ChinaGeneral_orng
End
There is no spawn coords Cannot spawn extra buildings either by adding new line count or duplicating line StartingBuilding1 causes crash and the game only reads the most recent line - got americommandcenter with this; StartingBuilding = ChinaCommandCenter StartingBuilding = AmericaCommandCenter so can spawn extra units but not extra buildings extra buildings might need script

Try a china building, their dozers cant build it. I am checking out the ai.ini. they can set ai, their can be a way to build a second building...i think Since we start with the command center, I do not see why you cant do it. ;Skirmish AI Build List SkirmishBuildList America Structure AmericaCommandCenter Location = X:501.22 Y:546.25 Rebuilds = 0 Angle = -45.00 InitiallyBuilt = No AutomaticallyBuild = Yes End How do you place inside a 'code box'?

Do take note that the difference between a building and a unit can be easily blurred. You can try spawning the building as a StartingUnit. But it looks dumb sorta. unless mobile building. :oEdited by user Wednesday, September 24, 2014 11:54:45 AM(UTC)

Holy wowzers it can be done Code:
StartingBuilding = ChinaCommandCenter
StartingUnit0 = ChinaVehicleDozer
StartingUnit1 = ChinaVehicleDozer
StartingUnit2 = ChinaBarracks

StartingBuilding = ChinaCommandCenter
StartingUnit0 = ChinaVehicleDozer
StartingUnit1 = ChinaBarracks
StartingUnit2 = ChinaVehicleDozer

Nice work, I've been trying to figure that out as well. Could make game more challenging, especially against brutal air.
