ok this is the first time i have modded zero hour, i have modded generals and it all worked fine
but i tried a simple price change on the aurora bomber with faction USA in generals zero hour
What i did was change the price from $2500 to $500 to troubleshoot the problem with my mods and I tested the change in a skirmish battle and no change.
my ini files are laid out as follows:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour\Data\INI , and inside the INI folder are the extracted .ini files from the INIZH.big file
Can someone tell me why the mods i do are not working when i test them in shirmish battle?


the full path is :

C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer(tm) Generals Zero Hour\Data\INI\Object\AmericaAir.ini

I got the price change to work in Generals with the Ranger but i dont know why i wont work in Zero hour

I am so confused
When i first installed (the first decade, generals and zero hour) I modded generals.
I was able to give the sniper rifle to the ranger and give the c-4 ability to the ranger and it all worked perfectly.
Then i tried to do the same with zero hour and nothing so i uninstalled and reinstalled then i tried to change the price on the ranger in generals from 225 to 100 and nothing so i uninstalled and reinstalled, when i reinstalled i played the game and the ranger was at $100 without doing anything
I realized that the ini files are not uninstalled with the game but, why did it work after unintalling and reinstalling but not before, now i changed it to 500 to see what would happen and it worked so i tried to give the sniper rifle to the ranger again and nothing happend, with that same .ini files.

I am so confused can someone please tell me what is going on why is the FactionUnit.ini working and the weapon.ini is not, I made the exact same change as before when it did work.
so I uninstalled and reinstalled and this time i Deleted the EA directory before reinstalling so there would be no ini files from the last install then i extracted the INI.big to

C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer(tm) Generals\Data

and tried to change the price of the ranger to 100 agian and nothing happend, so i removed the original INI.big from the directory and tried and nothing still at $225. where the heck is the game even getting that number from, the only .ini file in the directory (FactionUnit.ini) says that the price is $100 i checked it many times an still the price in game is $225

Can someone who knows everything about modding please PLEASE help me? I am completely lost as to why the price is not changing

Thank you and sry for the long post


ok i just removed all I mean ALL .ini files from DATA and the INI.big file from the directory and the game still works like nothing happend!!!!! What kind of paranormal activity is this, where the heck is the game even getting the info for anything? Please someone explain to me what is going on.
