There is a really helpful tutorial over at GenDev. You can see it here.

http://gendev.origin...anguard/faction

If you look at how the exisiting Generals are coded then you can see how to code your new one.

I cant find Commandbarscheme.ini I searched very good, can anyone help plz?

[AdmiralGT]

It should be in INIZH.big under Data\Object\ControlBarScheme.ini

[Russian]

Just not working :(

[AdmiralGT]

Whats the problem with it? Is it not showing up in the Player Select Screen? If you want to post up the code you've done then I will take a look at it to see if I can find the problem.

The Problem lies in the fact that you havent added any spaces in your code at the start of lines. If you look at the existing code in each file you'll see in some lines you need to put some spaces at the start (normally 1 or 2). If you look at where the creators put spaces, you need to add spaces too.

I can see how you made the mistake since there are no spaces in the tutorial but your pieces of coding need to have the same look as the existing code.

Thnx for helping, I modifyed the files but I still get an error when opening zero hour. The modifyed files are on http://members.home....ussianpridewars

Thnx,

The Problem lies in the fact that you didnt add the SCIENCE_Russia in Science.ini so in PlayerTemplate.ini it doesnt understand what SCIENCE_Russia is and so crashes.

[AdmiralGT]

Science SCIENCE_Russia

  PrerequisiteSciences = None

  SciencePurchasePointCost = 0 ; note that this means "not purchasable", NOT "free"!

  IsGrantable = No

End

Thnx, but the game still crashes ( I can see it is starting and then it crashes).
Can you please look at the new files and test them, maybe you find the error. Files at http://members.home....ussianpridewars
Thnx mate,

Firstly you havent added the spaces in the CommandSet. I took the liberty of correcting that.

It now produces a new error. Firstly in the RussiaCommandCenterCommandSet the First line reads Command_ConstructRussiaDozer but you havent got a CommandButton of this name.

Also, the game will keep crashing until you put those Objects into a INI file (The Objects from CommandButton.ini, the stuff that its making) since the Command Button will try to build something but wont be able to find the object.

I suggest you just copy other units and rename them to your own things (eg RussiaDozer, RussiaTank) since this will at least allow you to check that your faction actually works.

Edit, forgot to add, attached is the fixed CommandSet file.

BTW, I don't think a / character is legal in commandbutton. Might be though.
