Slow down, son.
Q: How do I add objects in Generals?
A: There's quite a process to it but here's quick run down.
1] Make the object's model.
You can use GMax with the RenX plugin.
Once you've done your model, you can export it as a .W3D file.
2] Make the object's code.
If you're using custom models, then make sure you refer to the model's name in it's art parameters.
3] Once you're set, just insert them into the a .big file. You can name it like "000FirstMod.big" or something. Since Generals reads files in ascii order, this file will be recognized first.
Make sure the files are in the right directory in the .big file.
Your object code should be:
Data\INI\Object\MyObject.ini
Your model should be:
Art\W3D\MyModel.W3D
Your custom texture should be:
Art\Textures\MyTexture.tga
Generals only accepts .tga or .dds

You would also need to make the command button for the unit and make add that to the commandset if whatever building you want to build it.

And save your new model as .gmax and export as .w3d, you cant change values if you import a w3d into renx, you have to set all values again because the settings are not saved, if you save as a .gmax file you can use that file to make changes if you need to and export again as .w3d when the changes are made...
