this mod requires Shockwave v1.201 installed on a patched copy of generals zero hour to work!


how to install the Shockwave Singleplayer Expierience:

back up the following files in your Generals Zero Hour directory, where the Shockwave mod is installed:
!Shw_Challenge.gib
!Shw_ini.gib
!ShwAudio.gib

extract contents of zip file into the Generals Zero Hour directory, where the Shockwave mod is installed.

Play the mod via the launcher.

All three Mini Campaigns should now be replaced by the full campaigns.

Changelog:
USA, GLA and CHINA campaigns now contain every map from both vanilla generals and zero hour.
(except for the second last GLA Zero Hour mission....for some reason it always resulted in instant victory and i couldnt fix it)

every mission has been made compatible with the Shockwave Vanilla USA, GLA and China units respectively.

BONUS BONUS BONUS:
the following generals now have their own challenge map: Infantry, Armor, Salvage!

That's right! Every General can now test their skills in 12 challenge maps against every other General in the field!

The challenge maps have been arranged to give each general a different starting oponent and General Leang is always the last opponent.

Every challenge map has been slightly modified with new tech structures
and some scripts have been corrected (like Tao will now actually launch his Nukes in the Intro and against your base!)

If there are any crashes (which do not concern faulty installement) or if any map is too hard to beat....
(and i mean too hard to beat by any means not too hard to beat with casual playstyle in 5min)
then let me know.



Credits go to the Shockwave team for gifting us with this great mod, to Seth for creating the Armor General map,
to vocux and JanB for creating the Infantry General map and to the unknown creator of the Salvage General map.


Have fun!

Any chance to get the .zip file again? Saw only now your work but file not available on Moddb. This seems to be what I have missed all the years since finding Shockwave around ten years ago. Would love to go on nostalgic run with Sockwave once.more.

I made an account just to thank you for this. I have been playing the shockwave mod for many many years and I have always been bummed about the lack of a modded campaign. This truly put a smile on my face when I installed this and it worked beautifully! While there are a few minor problems, such as trucks not dropping cash crates in one of the GLA missions, I've not found any problems so far that are truly game breaking. Thank you again for this

Omg, thank you. Not just the Zero Hour missions but the vanilla Generals missions!

Hey man, created an account just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing this!!! Not only for the effort of porting the missions, but also for including some nice Shockwave touches like including marines for insertion into humvees, including the exo-suits as producible units, marines as part of the beach landing in USA 4, GLA supply quad bikes, including pillboxes as part of bases, changing the selectable general's powers, and so much more. The care and effort you put into the single-player experience shows!

Also wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Thank you so much for this once again.
