The SW installer originally wants to install to the TFD folder (as opposed to the Zero Hour folder). I don't think SW is the problem though. I can't run Zero Hour straight up.

In that case I'd suggest doing a full wipe of all Generals/ZH stuff and do a complete reinstall (and do it in a different directory too, just to be sure).

Alright, I totally uninstalled and reinstalled TFD. Now I get the classic "serious error" message when I try to start Zero Hour.

Alright, I found a solution to the "serious error" that is working well so far: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/15639...zero-hour-prob/
I doubt ShockWave will have any issues now. |

Sorry for the bump but I've got a problem while trying to launch Shockwave.
This is the error I get. I've got no clue if I have ZH Reborn mods since I haven't played Generals & ZH in a while and found out about Shockwave few days ago (Found the link of forums in readme). I'd be happy if someone could know how to fix this lol. Thanks in advance. P.s. I get this after running Shockwave Launcher > Start If you think you can fix it via Teamviewer, contact me: Email: gamerxownz@hotmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikola.purisic IRC: irc.crrpg.com, channel: #GamerX This post has been edited by GamerX: 8 Dec 2011, 22:01 |

Looks like one of those standard ZH errors. Most of them can be fixed using the following method:
1. Uninstall ZH and delete the entire ZH folder 2. Reinstall ZH into a new, clean folder and apply patch 1.04 3. Reinstall mods and apply mod patches if necessary The mods you find on this website should be compatible with each other, meaning you can have them installed at the same time. We're not giving any such guarantees for non-SWR mods though. |

Greetings, dear friends! I apologize to bother... :-)
I apologize in advance for the style of presentation. I am writing you from Russia and not very good at English. So I write with google-translator and therefore may write with grammatical and semantic errors. I must say that I am a very long time searching the Internet the answer to my question, but did not find one. The fact is that in our country C&C: Genarals game is not very popular, so I checked in with you and beg you to help me than anything. My question is this: I installed the game yesterday Genarals Zero Hour and my favorite mod Shockwave on a netbook. And when i start mod, I saw this great war video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvuhRh0hr1A (it kind of is called "shellmap" or "shell maps") I loved it! So I decided to install the game and the mod also on your PC. But when I installed the game and the mod on the PC, it is very sad. Since I have not seen this movie script. Instead, the screen was just a simple cover image / screen (http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/6089/5890507cc12e.jpg) The same system (Win7 Pro x64). The same game (license). The same mod. One and the same version. The result is different ... ;-( Once again I ask you roscheniya if this issue has already been discussed, but Help me please. *update* My issue/problem was resolved.. I launched the game in Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode. Very tired while searching for a solution. It would be nice to add it to the FAQ. Since in the present most people use Windows 7 & Shellmap may does not work just as I have. Good luck! .. I found it here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/107125...-playing-movies This post has been edited by General_Kirov86: 27 Aug 2012, 13:52 |

The shell map does not work correctly on x64-bit versions of Windows 7.

Running the game in windows xp compatibility mode has solved this problem for several users.

just in case noone has posted this specifically, I was having an issue launching the Shockwave mod when using with the CNC The First Decade set.
Originally, i assumed the default location to be installed would be in the "C:\program files\ea games\Command & Conquer: The First Decade\" root folder but when this is done, you will receive the "you installed to the wrong directory moron" message (no its not offensive, i appreciated the message). Through many attempts at trial and error, I finally set the install directory to: "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour" Once I installed in THIS folder, the mod works flawlessly. Like i said, im not sure if anyone has posted this, but i was unable to find anything when searching around that pointed me to the correct directory. So i wanted to have at least one post giving others some help in caxse they were getting frustrated as well. Sorry if its a double post. And by the way, a huge thank you to the creators of the Shockwave mod because it is single handedly the best version of the game ive ever played, shouldve been created this way from the begining! |

Hi SWR Productions,
I recently got hold of Generals again, and I purchased the Ultimate Collection off of EAs Origin, so the game was patched to 1.04. however, when I try to install it works perfectly, but I still get the "You installed in the wrong folder, Moron!!" easter egg you guys have for us. Please kindly assist. |

I dont know if this belongs here but here's the story. I recently found my old dvd of Command and Conquer generals deluxe edition which includes the zero hour expansion. Unfortunately the cds did not work. I talked to Origin and they provided me with digitized copy. I soon found a mod called Shockwave and wanted to try it out through origin. Unfortunately after installation the Vanilla game overrides the mod. I looked into other forums and found this quote:
QUOTE So you have brought C&C The Ultimate Collection and realized that you can't get any mods to work (because EA is full of s--t). There's a simple way to fix that... For C&C 2, C&C 3, RA3: 1. install the fixed launchers : Commandandconquer.com Never mind that link, not everyone can see it, try this one instead:Bibber.eu 2. Install Desura on your computer & get a Desura account (of course almost everyone who plays mods (beside me apparently) already got that part). 3. Download the mods that you want to play from Desura. 4. Play the mod(s) For C&C General & ZH 1. Same as above. 2. Download whatever mod you want to play. 3. If mod has installer, launch it but make sure that the directory path leads to C&C Generals/ZH folder in Origin games rather than EA games or other things. 3.5. If mod does not have installer, simply put the files where they tell you to (still somewhere in the folder Origin games in C-drive, actually this way can be done without needing to install the fixed launchers. Note that this method can only accommodate one mod at a time.) 4. Play the mod(s). For RA2: I have no idea how to get mods to work for that. There's apparently something missing in the original files or something... As you can see it referrs to Desura. However I don't understand how to do this process. when it says download whatever mods you want from desura; I ask my self where or how? If anyone can give me a simplified translation of this or a more detailed process I would appreciate it. thanks. |

Hello,
I'm running windows 8, ZH running ok, Shochwave installed ok (folders, names, files, ...) when I launch shockwave (as an admin), it opens a menu with "launch, windowed, etc, ..." when i click on "launch", it seems to go then crashes with a error message "seriuos error ... " // NO other mods installed. I've read the topics around here and it seems to be a compatibility problem between windows 8 and the shockwave. Note : I can't choose any compatibility lower than windows xp (service pack 3). One thing i haven't done is to install shockwave as an admin. Other than that ZH perfectly running (french) and Command and conquer also perfectly running. Kapul |
