Okay, due to some computer problems which seem to have been fixed I'm going to restart my ZH mod. Wouldn't be surprised if somehow last .ini faction I was working on using GLA as base got glitched/corrupted.

these INIs seem messy. Since last was GLA-based that gave me trouble, I think I'll start with it to get them factions outta the way. I'd like to replace/make Commander Center to use USA Dozers and Supply Center to use China Supply Trucks.
So, new faction should require power, I'm thinking like China's powerplant but with America's powerplant upgrade instead, maybe just somewhat weaker? meaning power output (both the 'plant itself and upgrade) 😄

I'll see about working on some INIs later... still WIP [Work In Progress] everything.💀

course, general powers like MOAB and such need to be switched to one that fits faction better. Eventually will get actual edits.

May Be Changed, depending...
Base+Factions: (in no particular order)

GDI = America
Steel Talons = America/China
ZOCOM = China/GLA
NOD = China
Black Hand = China
MoK = GLA
Mutants = GLA
JDA = America
Sprawlers = Boss
Allied = America
Soviets = mix GLA/China
UEF = America
Cybrans = GLA/China
Aeon = America/GLA
Terrans = America/China
Zerg = GLA
Scrin = GLA/Boss
CABAL = China/Boss with some extras
ARM = America
CORE = China
Seraphim = GLA
Hierarchy = China/Boss
Masari = GLA/America
Novus = America
RisingSun/Japan = America/Boss with China tanks included
Empire = America
Exodus = China
Harkback = GLA
LF = GLA/America
SR = China/Boss with America tanks included (+ vehicles)
Protoss = China/America

If looked at spoiler, yes I love RTS games and wish to bring in those factions to ZH for fun plus they are actually needed for my mod's story... 😄

I have full C&C series, Supreme Commanders, StarCraft's (aside from their newest 'hearts of the swarm'), and Dark Reign 2.

So trying this still, launched WB to see what it had to say...

💀

Red Box Outlines, I do not have an .ini named that? ❓

Xenoforce eh?

This is simply because SDF-1Trail doesn't exist in your particle system.
As well as the SDF-1Locomotor, I suggest you just don't simply copy the object data. If you can't provide all the resources, otherwise, you can comment them out.

Yes, the Gundam General has its own ini file... I assumed you just copied it without all of Xenoforce's Particle Systems and Locomotors.

Death Label:
Reduced back to 3 main factions(and a couple of extras).
Each faction can choose a(or all of them) tech-tree via General's Powers.
Angel Wings: Jets and Anti-Air, Helicopters and Missiles, Hovercraft and Lasers
Red Skulls: Armor Division, Mecha Armada, Drone Swarm
Earth's Saviors: Air Raid, Homeworld Security, Stealth

I looked in it's pathing it claims and the .ini it speaks off isn't there. Glitch or something?

So how can I copy something that isn't really there?

Is it possible another game could have somehow conflicted/glitched it? Latest game I played during that point was Maelstrom The Battle for Earth Begins.
My computer's being a little weird...

EDIT: Did another search, the file is in this path

NOT where WB says; where it thinks it is... now to find out what else is messed.

So be it if my ZH wants to keep the Xenoforce files in.

So after plopping Xeno INIs and Backed up norm INIs before I plopped in the Xenos.
Well, WB has new errors but otherwise actually opens. (still has that apt.big error though)

Show Spoiler

Still more fiddling to do apparently.

If anyone wishes to help me pinpoint the problem spots, here's my norm INIs
INI.zip (3,548kb) downloaded 4 time(s).

If you read the error...

Try to check if those entries exist in your BIG Files.

The first(and the probably rest) one means your missing a Weapon Data.
The third one means your missing an OCL.

The Case-sensitive issue is basically a typo in your WeaponSet Entries. Get the Actual name of the Weapon and edit the WeaponSet.

So far.

So, reextracted INIs from INIZH... WB is now complaining about line 808 in GundamGeneralBuilding.ini? (hmm)

redownloaded Xenoforce mod...
Apparently that fixed all the problems save for the apt.big file. WB opens now. (though had to open SpecialPower.ini to delete tab characters) [grin]

now just the APT.BIG is left to figure out.
