The images are located in the Game's directory, in a file named "EnglishZH.big". You need an application called FinalBIG which you can download from here: https://www.moddb.com/ga...wnloads/final-big-editor

Open the file "EnglishZH.big" with FinalBIG and you will see files with .tga file extension. You can see its preview on the right hand side and you can even extract it.

If you want to copy the images from a mod you will probably have to look for a file with a different name.
For example:
The shockwave mod stores its images in a file called "!!Shw_cicons.gib"
for files like these change the type of the file to ".big" by renaming it.

You will also need to look for a folder named "MappedImages" as it is very crucial since it contains the necessary codes for the images. You will probably find this folder in any file with "INI" in it.
For Zero Hour it is found in "INIZH.big".

To edit the words on the Skirmish loading screen you need to edit a file called "Generals.str", which I attached to this post. You can edit it as per you want and then move it to "Data" folder in the Game's directory.

If you need further help don't hesitate to ask
Hope that helps!

edit them via paint.net or what ever app you like - crop them into images and mapped it with cameo studio

I suggest you just copy the textures(Cameos, portraits, medalions, etc...) you like from other mods and add them to your mod.

just copy the existing generals challenge textures and tampered it with your desired image ....

then use the coordinates used on that big ass picture got it ? .. then your done.

that comment is for the one who work for ea ...

just ignore it .. do what you wanted :P

you can see the light skin in the zh/gen original files lightbeam.dds iirc

if you get black cylinder then mapped it manually

had you tried textures.big in generals folder (not zh)

some of the missing textures can be found only on generals

Leave it as it is .. changing model names per faction that they will be used isnt really required

(all models can be used on all factions that you wanted .. changing name of w3d models requires tricky stuff .. its hard , its not too simple as you know it )
