Hi Everyone I am a zero hour veteran who recently returned to the game truth be told I had no idea the servers had moved.

I would like to make a small naval mod to introduce buildable ships creating an exciting new online experience, in the past I have made many maps and created some simple mods however this time I will need some assistance and would appreciate the assistance and guidance of the Gurus here.

The Mod I would like to create allows the player to capture the Boss War Factory placed in the water near their base and then build a number of naval units, additional modifications will be made to infantry so they can swim and other units.

I would like to design the features to my mini mod and would listen to any tips on the feasibility of the content with just an map.ini

1. As I want build cost and construction time to function I would like to repurpose the following units so they can be constructed at the player boss War Factory.
A. American Vanilla Aurora to become battleship armed with Spectre Gunship Howitzer.
B. American Vanilla Chinook to become amphibious transport with same behaviour so it can collect supplies and transport
C. American Vanilla Advenger to become Advenger gun boat.
2. Review Infantry Locomotors and add Over Water Condition with swimming animation.
3. Review some vehicle Locomotors such as troop transport and make them amphibious.

I have reviewed many threads in this forum and have learnt allot in the past weeks, I have started this thread as I could have a variation of issues to resolve and I will be so thankful for any assistance.

To start with I have figured out the command sets and buttons for my Boss War Factory and am in the process of making the American Vanilla Aurora into a Battleship, Find my Code below. I have an error and I don't see what's wrong , So far I have replaced every module in the Aurora Code with what I had functioning for a previous battleship object I had Modded successfully.
Would greatly appreciate some review.

Welcome to the forums! Hope you'll find yourself at home here with a small but great community. 😄

https://cnc-online.net/en/

I'm out of practice with Zero Hour and modding it, so I'm not really sure what's up with your Aurora-Battleship code. In fact this is even harder for me to figure out since it looks like you're doing map.ini modding.

http://www.cnclabs.com/downloads/details.aspx?id=274
Maybe you could find some useful stuff in there.

You said you're getting an error with your Aurora-Battleship unit. What's the specific error message in crashlog.txt? (I think that's the right .txt file)

Any old friends still on here can add me on discord @jcdenton2187. I'm far more likely to respond there.
