But, I need to find out how to add a faction to the game (if it is already present in the mod, but is not in the list of selecting factions in the game). Which lines do I need to look for in the mod's BIG files? Thank you in advance. P.S. we are Talking about Peace Mission Mod (2019).

I see playertemplate.ini is where the faction is added according to this tutorial. Have a look at it! ^^ http://www.cnclabs.com/f..._Make-a-new-General.aspx

Have a look at it! ^^ http://www.cnclabs.com/f..._Make-a-new-General.aspx It says (for example, about Sweden, which is present in the fashion, but is not in the list of choosing factions, as I wrote earlier) this (and it does not differ from the factions that can be selected in the game): PlayerTemplate FactionSweden Side = Sweden BaseSide = USA PlayableSide = Yes StartMoney = 0 PreferredColor = R:20 G:20 B:20 IntrinsicSciences = SCIENCE_CHINA PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank1 = SCIENCE_CHINA_CommandSetRank1 PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank3 = SCIENCE_CHINA_CommandSetRank3 PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank8 = SCIENCE_CHINA_CommandSetRank8 SpecialPowerShortcutCommandSet = SpecialPowerShortcutChina SpecialPowerShortcutWinName = GenPowersShortcutBarChina.wnd SpecialPowerShortcutButtonCount = 11 ;10 DisplayName = INI:FactionSweden StartingBuilding = SwedenCommandCenter StartingUnit0 = SwedenVehicleDozer ScoreScreenImage = China_ScoreScreen LoadScreenImage = SNFactionLogoPage_China LoadScreenMusic = Load_Sweden ScoreScreenMusic = Score_USA ;HeadWaterMark = SCTempSelectPortrait ; don't use unless we add a "generalshead for non selected generals FlagWaterMark = WatermarkChina EnabledImage = SSObserverChina BeaconName = MultiplayerBeacon SideIconImage = SideIconImageSWD GeneralImage = China_Tank OldFaction = No ; This faction was NOT available in the original Generals and should NOT be available if the oldFactionsOnly flag is set ArmyTooltip = TOOLTIP:BioStrategyLong_Pos9 Features = GUI:BioFeatures_Pos9 MedallionRegular = TankGeneral_slvr MedallionHilite = TankGeneral_blue MedallionSelect = TankGeneral_orng End For comparison in the same file and the same line, but about the Japan (which can be selected in the game): PlayerTemplate FactionJapan Side = Japan BaseSide = USA PlayableSide = Yes StartMoney = 0 PreferredColor = R:50 G:215 B:230 IntrinsicSciences = SCIENCE_GLA PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank1 = Chem_SCIENCE_GLA_CommandSetRank1 PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank3 = Chem_SCIENCE_GLA_CommandSetRank3 PurchaseScienceCommandSetRank8 = Chem_SCIENCE_GLA_CommandSetRank8 SpecialPowerShortcutCommandSet = Chem_SpecialPowerShortcutGLA SpecialPowerShortcutWinName = GenPowersShortcutBarGLA.wnd SpecialPowerShortcutButtonCount = 11 ;10 DisplayName = INI:FactionJapan StartingBuilding = JapanCommandCenter StartingUnit0 = JapanVehicleDozer ScoreScreenImage = GLA_ScoreScreen LoadScreenImage = SUFactionLogoPage_GLA LoadScreenMusic = Load_Japan ScoreScreenMusic = Score_JPA ;HeadWaterMark = SCTempSelectPortrait ; don't use unless we add a "generalshead for non selected generals FlagWaterMark = WatermarkGLA EnabledImage = SSObserverGLA BeaconName = MultiplayerBeacon SideIconImage = SideIconImageJAP GeneralImage = GLA_Toxin OldFaction = No ; This faction was NOT available in the original Generals and should NOT be available if the oldFactionsOnly flag is set ArmyTooltip = TOOLTIP:BioStrategyLong_Pos1 Features = GUI:BioFeatures_Pos1 MedallionRegular = ToxinGeneral_slvr MedallionHilite = ToxinGeneral_blue MedallionSelect = ToxinGeneral_orng End What do I need to edit and where?
