You were right, the worldbuilder loads fine now, I can place the command center and everything👍

But why is the AirGens Icon messed up?

I don't like having to rename my normal Generals game files, or adding in the entire Zero-Hour .big files.
Why does it only work when I put in TexturesZH & W3DZH .big files? What was wrong with me manually putting in the correct files?

I'm kind of like😒 with this one. Surely there are other mods where people have added in new factions and not had to do what i'm doing??

**EDIT**

I sorted out the ControlBarScheme.ini problem. It must have been me trying to use the Airgens code from Zero-Hour instead of just copying the normal USA and changing the name for the AirForceGeneral.

The icon isn't just messed up in the worldbuilder, it messed ingame as well😒 :ashamed: ❓

**EDIT**

More successes, I have added in the Airgens dozer!

I figure that after I have added in all the rest of the AirGens structures, units, powers etc. I can delete all of the other unwanted .w3d and textures from the W3DZH & TexturesZH, to save space and make it all more organised...?

I would love to move onto all of the other structures but I want to sort out that messed AirGen icon first😞

Yeah, you could just manually take out the files. But I was thinking it would be convenient to just take the whole .big files & not have to worry about the .wnd files any more. But maybe if you did do it manually, it might fix the logo. Who knows.

You might want to try the forums at DeeZire.net.

Thanks for the offer but, I don't see how there forum differs from cncgeneralsworlds.They just seem alot more...'proffessionaly minded' about game modding.

This is just a guess but, could be that somehow the game is not reading the Command Centers texture files right? Because from where I am, it looks like the colours are inverted. Where it should be white background it's all black and the jet is all blue.

Obviously the game is reading the file, or else it would crash and give an error report.
To be honest, I prefer it when something doesn't work at all. At least then you can identify the problem easier and fix it😒

Well I've tried going through .ini's .wnd's .dds', no luck. I wouldn't worry to much about this, unless the same problem happens to other units. I'd recommend that you get all the rest of the stuff done & then worry about it.

Yeah sure.
Why spend time dwelling over one problem, when you can be making progress.

But I am noting this. I didn't go to this length to have my Command Centers look wierd. :P

**EDIT**

I have added in the AirGens powerplant. At first it kept giving me a ( ' Object AirF_AmericaPowerPlant' ) error. But when I used the method that made the command center work, it worked!

It's obvious now that there must be something from Zero-Hour that Generals doesn't support. Because pasting only the 0-hour Art parameters and the generals design parameters, makes it work. But if the code is all from zero-hour, it crashes...

**EDIT**

I have noticed that when I purchase certain upgrades on the airgens buildings, such as the Capture Building upgrade from the barracks, the 'Upgrade Complete' EVA sound doesn't play.
I do however get the flash bang upgrade complete notification.

Any ideas how I can fix this? I have checked the Upgrade.ini & the FactionBuilding.ini and found nothing that could cause this problem...😞 ❓ :ashamed:

**EDIT**

ERROR

I have added in all of the AirForceGenerals structures successfully. But when it came to the firebase, I get errors.

Because there is no Generals FireBase Design parameters code, Generals keeps giving me errors ( 'Object AirF_AmericaFireBase' )

Do you reckon you could find what Generals doesn't like in here? Because i've been looking through the code for the past hour and can't find anything wrong with it...

To tell you in advance, yes I have added in the Firebases weapon code from zero-hour into generals Weapon.ini

Thanks in advance👍
I know it's a pain when someone posts asking you to look through lines of ini code😒 :ashamed: .

I don't think it's possible to put a fully functional Fire Base into vanilla Generals. But if you're curious as to what is causing the problem, try running WorldBuilder.

Don't worry about the art peremeters. I don't think they cause a crash, if there's anything wrong then the building just wouldn't look right.

Did you add the FireBaseArmor to your Armor.ini? Also, Try going through your INI files & copy & paste all the names again to avoid spelling errors.

When you paste INI code into a post, be sure to wrap it in Code not Quote so that all the spaces before the text show up.

No I didn't add in the Armor.ini stuff, I will do it right now and edit back to tell you the results.

**EDIT**

I have added in the firebases armor into the Armor.ini

Instead of getting the ( 'Object AirF_AmericaFireBase' ) error. I am getting a ( 'Armor FireBaseArmor' ) error.

I'm not sure since I only run ZH but I don't think that Generals has microwave tanks (please correct me if I'm wrong, it's been a long time since I played it).

You could try removing that line.

Hope it works

You can't blame me for my defeat, it's all the fault of my soldiers.

There are no Microwave tanks in Generals. Only Zero-Hour.

Although, since that's a part of the AirGens arsenal, I will add it into the game along with the AirGens tanks etc.

I am doing the mod systematically.

Structures -> Units -> New Upgrades -> SpecialPowers

So I won't be wanting the Microwave tank in the game yet. I'm pretty sure that I don't need to remove the Microwave line completely.
As anything with a ; before it won't be read by the game.

You'll need to remove the SUBDUAL damage types as well; vanilla Generals doesn't use it.

I could have replied sooner, but I got backtracked pretty bad to day.
Turns out I got to go to my dad's brothers wedding tommorow. He and my Mum have been running round all day trying to find something 'nice' for us all to wear.

Anyways.
I did as you said and removed the SUBDUAL damage types from the Armor.ini, and the FireBases code in the FactionBuilding.ini.
It didn't give me any more errors from the Armor.ini but from the Object code.:ashamed:

So I did some more searching and found a few things that it wouldn't have liked.
A pretty embarresing error I overlooked was the:

DisplayName = OBJECT:FireBase

Which didn't exist in Generals.

And I also found that this line of code isn't in Generals either.

IsEnclosingContainer = No

Even though I fixed both of these problems, it is still giving me errors :ashamed: 😒 😞 😠
It's becoming something of a frustrated obsession now.

I HAVE to know what the hell is causing it to mess up.
Here's the code as it is now, after I fixed both new errors I found.
Please, if you can find or think of anything that Generals won't like from Zero-Hour in this code. Don't hesitate to say what👍

A pretty embarresing error I overlooked was the:

DisplayName = OBJECT:FireBase

Which didn't exist in Generals.

Sky Demon wrote:

That shouldn't cause any crashes. At worst, having a missing text string will cause an error message to appear ingame where the Fire Base's name should be.

And I also found that this line of code isn't in Generals either.

That was something I was afraid of. Unfortunately, you won't be able to remove it without significantly changing the properties of the Fire Base. What you'll have is a Bunker with a gun on top.

Here's somthing I found:

  Body                 = HiveStructureBody ModuleTag_04;
    MaxHealth          = 1000.0
    InitialHealth      = 1000.0

;    ; Subdual damage "Subdues" you (reaction defined by BodyModule) when it passes your max health.
;    ; The cap limits how extra-subdued you can be, and the other numbers detemine how fast it drains away on its own.
;    SubdualDamageCap = 1200
;    SubdualDamageHealRate = 500
;    SubdualDamageHealAmount = 100
;    ;**Careful with these damage types -- because area damage types will already

;    PropagateDamageTypesToSlavesWhenExisting = NONE +SNIPER ;+SMALL_ARMS  +POISON +RADIATION +SURRENDER
;    ;SwallowDamageTypesIfSlavesNotExisting = NONE +SNIPER +POISON +SURRENDER; Take no damage if no one to pass this to
;  End

You put a semicolon before then End. 😒 Although who knows if this is the one & only error. If it persists, upload all of your files again so I can check them out.

What do you mean?

I though that putting a

;

before a line of code means the game won't read it...:ashamed: 😊 😒 😞 ❓

Yeah, that means that you now have a missing 'End' block, a sure way to get crashes.

Oh crap. Your right!

I didn't notice that the

Body = HiveStructureBody ModuleTag_04;
MaxHealth = 1000.0
InitialHealth = 1000.0

was the start of the tag. It's because of the way they spaced it out.

Sorry, I will be more vigilant for that kind of thing!
Let's see if it works now.

**EDIT**

I don't believe it, the game didn't crash!
Although, there are some problems I need to fix.

(In order of Priority)

1) I am having trouble guessing what the proper ingame description labels are for the Fire Base, and am having trouble finding Zero-Hours .csf file. I can't find it in any of it's .big files.

2) The Fire Bases weapon (Shell it fires) doesn't explode. It does the damage exactly as it should. Just you don't see an explosion, it hits the floor and does the damage, with no visible BANG.

3) I have noticed that the 'Upgrade Complete' EVA notification doesn't play when I build certain upgrades, such as the Advanced Reactor Rods, Capture Building Upgrade. Sometimes it even plays another EVA voice, such as the chinese 'Unit lost'. 😮 ❓

Additionally. I havn't tested it yet but I am confident that the soldiers garrisoned in the fire base won't be able to fire out, or get shot. Because there is no.

IsEnclosingContainer = No

Sooner or later, we will need to find a fix for this... A fire base that has infantry that can't shoot out or get shot isn't very helpfull

1) The generals.csf file for Zero Hour is in the EnglishZH.big file.

2) You'll also have to add the weapon objects from Zero Hour. You'll find them in the WeaponObjects.ini in the Object folder. You may also need to copy the .wnd files for it too.

3) The *** AUDIO Parameters *** in Zero Hour are probably different then in Generals. For the power plant, just copy & paste the code from the original audio parameters & paste it over the ones from the new Air Force power plant.
