okay I have a starlifter problem. in map.ini I have placed this code:

Code:
Object AmericaVehicleChinook

 Draw = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01; Main body
    DefaultConditionState
      Model = AVStar_L
      Animation = AVStar_L.AVStar_L

      TransitionKey = TRANS_Vertical
    End
   
    ConditionState = DAMAGED
      Model = AVStar_LD
      Animation = AVStar_LD.AVStar_LD
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      TransitionKey = TRANS_VerticalDamaged
    End
     
    ConditionState = REALLYDAMAGED
      Model = AVStar_LD

      Flags           = START_FRAME_LAST
    End
  End
End


I want it to replace the chinook model in one of the USA missions. but everytime I try I get the serius error messages which is started to annoy me.
it works fine in skirmish when I replace the model with a chinook but it doesn't work for map.ini
any Idea why??

and also
I have beaten every official map against maximum medium player in ZH. why don't I ever get this medal that I am supposed to get?

Map.ini code works differently from normal INI code.

Modules have to be added, replaced, or removed, like so:

Code:
 AddModule ModuleTag_99_Override
  Behavior = FireWeaponWhenDeadBehavior ModuleTag_99
    DeathWeapon   = SmallFireFieldCreationWeapon
    StartsActive  = Yes
    ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaBlackNapalm
  End; Behavior
 End; AddModule


Code:
 ReplaceModule ModuleTag_99
   Behavior = FireWeaponWhenDeadBehavior ModuleTag_99_Override
    DeathWeapon   = SmallFireFieldCreationWeapon
    StartsActive  = Yes
    ConflictsWith = Upgrade_ChinaBlackNapalm
  End; Behavior
 End; ReplaceModule

Replace is very specific. You can't replace a FireWeaponWhenDeadBehavior with a PhysicsBehavior for example. You have to replace it with another FireWeaponWhenDeadBehavior.

Code:
 RemoveModule ModuleTag_99


Most map.ini crashes are caused by having too many Ends, too few Ends, or just Ends in the wrong place. ReplaceModule and AddModule both need an End, but RemoveModule doesn't. Quite often, you'll have 3 Ends in a row as you close Behavior, ReplaceModule and finally Object.

Go into SkirmishStats.ini in Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data and add this to the bottom:
Code:
maps\armored fury\armored fury.map_4 = 5
maps\scorched earth\scorched earth.map_4 = 1

Long story short, there are two maps that are required for the medal that don't actually exist in the game. Thus, to get the medal, you have add them manually.

okay,
thank you for the codes to get those medals.. they have been driving me crasy.

about the replacement.
I do understand what you are saying but,
I don't really know what to do.
I don't really know if I should add ReplaceModule or somethinglike that.

do I then have to re-name my module tags or something like:

Code:
Draw = W3DModelDraw ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01; Main body


or

Code:
Draw = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01_Override; Main body
hmm...

Like this:

Code:
ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01
  Draw = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01_Override
...
  End
End


Here's a working example of map.ini code:
Code:
Object GLATunnelNetwork
  KindOf          = +MP_COUNT_FOR_VICTORY
 AddModule ModuleTag_money
  Behavior = AutoDepositUpdate ModuleTag_money_Override
    DepositTiming       = 20000   ; in milliseconds
    DepositAmount       = 100   ; cash amount to deposit every DepositTiming
    InitialCaptureBonus = 0  ; no initial bonus
  End
 End
End

okay I did this and it is still not working

Code:
Object AmericaVehicleChinook

ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01
  Draw = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01_Override
    DefaultConditionState
      Model = AVStar_L
      Animation = AVStar_L.AVStar_L
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      TransitionKey = TRANS_Vertical
    End
   
    ConditionState = DAMAGED
      Model = AVStar_LD
      Animation...

ReplaceModule ModuleTag_02
  Draw = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_02_Override
    DefaultConditionState
      Model           = AVStarD_A
      Animation       = AVStarD_A.AVStarD_A
      AnimationMode   = MANUAL
      Flags           = START_FRAME_FIRST
    End
    ConditionState = DOOR_1_OPENING
      Model          ...


I don't understand why..
but I am starting to see how map.ini works.

yet I am still comfused why this did not work

It shouldn't take too long before you get used to it. The hardest part, as I said earlier, is how many 'End's you need.

Code:
Object AmericaVehicleChinook

ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01
  Draw = W3DModelDraw ModuleTag_01_Override; Main body
    DefaultConditionState
      Model = AVStar_L
      Animation = AVStar_L.AVStar_L
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      TransitionKey = TRANS_Vertical
    End
   
    ConditionState = DAMAGED
      Model = AVStar_LD
      Animation = AVStar_LD.AVStar_LD
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      TransitionKey = TRANS_VerticalDamaged
    End
     
    ConditionState = REALLYDAMAGED
      Model = AVStar_LD
      Animation = AVStar_LD.AVStar_LD
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      TransitionKey = TRANS_VerticalDamaged
    End

    ConditionState = RUBBLE
      Model = AVStar_LD
      Animation = AVStar_LD.AVStar_LD
      AnimationMode = LOOP
      TransitionKey = TRANS_VerticalDamaged
    End

    ConditionState = MOVING
      Model = AVStar

With comments to show what each End is doing.

I have an odd feeling that I've forgotten something, so if this doesn't work... you'll know why.

yep.. something is missing because it is still not working...
I am going to check with another vehicle..

nothing works..
do you think it might be related to another moduletag in the chinook vehicle?

Changed the above. Ironically, I missed an End. I missed out the close of conditionstate.
