My "Porting Russia into ZH" Thread Options

[Kang Rusa]

Hi guys!

So, I've been thinking about combining the best mods into one, and right now I'm adding Russia's Rapid Deployment General. I renamed the faction into Russia Airborne General (might change into Russia Special Forces General) and replaced Orlov with Zhana Agonskaya. I've done the INI coding for the Playertemplate.ini and the dozer, The problem is, it won't mean anything unless I add images (medallions, general's powers windows, portrait, scorescreen, etc.) My first question is how do I add new medallions, portraits, etc into the existing ini? Where do I even find the images used in the ini? Also, how do I edit the words that show on the skirmish loading screen?

Thanks in advance.

first ting first.
if you plan to use other mod (unless made by you) model \ texture ask the maker fist , if you plan to public the mod

ok now for the question:

medallions are : [SCGenChallengeSelect512.ini] , but you can make a custom one , make you own for work easier

for the image must dig inside [TexturesZH.big] vanilla icon sheet are like SAControlBar512_001.tga [MUST be TGA , DDS don't work]

for custom text (i suppose the general arsenal info) you must edit [PlayerTemplate.ini] for add custom text open [EnglishZH.big] and export [Generals.str]
you can edit it with Notepad++
once you done place [General.str] inside Command & Conquer™ Generals Zero Hour\Data foulder

I did my homework to find out who did what so I can credit them properly, and thanks!

I do have a new problem though.

I opened up Russia's Crane model on RenX and started putting up skins. The skin for the wheels are on a separate file than the skin for the rest of the unit and so are the lights coming out from..well, the headlights. Now, I have 2 issues:

1. When I tried applying the wheel skin, all I get is a black cylinder. Is this normal? The files are literally the same files from the original ROTR.

2. I need to know where the light skins should be.
