Sounds like you have no clue how to mod.😉
Heres a basic tutorial by ME!
First you need to go and Google Final Big and download it. Its a one File program that allows you to open and edit the annoying BIG files the c&c Generals Uses BIG - a file extension used by c&c Generals that holds all of the Engine Code.
Once you have that file downloaded and stored in a place where you wont delete it run the program.
You should Get a basic screen which is not required for what will be done.
Now click Open in the File tab and find your C&C Generals Zero Hour Folder. In the Folder there should be a File called INI.BIG, open the file and then click extract all which is also in the upper menu of Final Big. Extract the files to your C&C generals zero hour folder (not Data) and then exit final big (might take awhile for extraction)
once your files are extracted find your C&C generals zero hour folder and open Data then open INI then open Objects. Once you are here you should see a large amount of Configuration Files which is where all the unit coding and all weapons and stuff is stored. Once your in objects open the File FactionBuilding.ini with notepad(the standard text editor with Microsoft).
Once the file is open Find The Patriot Missile Launcher. Stick this as a NEW LINE by the Build time and Build cost.
Once that is done Find Stinger site and put it in the same place. Then Find The Gatling Cannon and stick it the same place.
Once Those 3 are in the correct place save the file. HIT SAVE AND NOT SAVE AS!!! Save as will make the file a .txt and not an .ini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then exit the factionbuilding.ini and open up each of the generals files in turn. there you will have to stick the proper code into each of the turrets code as listed above.
If that was to much for you to handle try to just play around with weapon.ini which is located :\C&CGeneralsZeroHour\Data\InI\Weapon.ini
there you can tweak the settings on how much damage a thing does and you might want to change Armor.ini (that's how I got started)😎
If you get a Serious Error message you messed up modding the ini files. The best hope is to Make a fresh copy of the bad file and start again.
NOW TO GO ONLINE AGAIN you have to either drag The INI folder (inside data folder) to another location. or delete the modded files. NEVER DELETE ANY BIG FILES IN THE GENERALS FOLDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😮
If you have any other questions ill be glad to help!😄
