Hey guys, I was wondering, after I played the contra_005 mod, how do you change the menus?
The thing that interests me the most is the new check box for skirmish mode.
Also if i wanted to look for the animation files and other things aobut the unit/building creation like the shooting effects. Of everything in the game what would i look for

First you have to open the .big files, then most of the changes are in the ini files. animations are part o the models themselves (W3D files) 2D art and chages are made buy editing the TGA files

ok thanks didnt think of that. now about the menu........
BTW what in the game is defiened as 2d it all looks 3d to me

[Phoenix911]

2d is the images u see in the upgrade buttens or the pictures of the vehicals and so forth.

Menus are stored in WND files. Those files are located in "Window" folder. I don't know how to edit them. I downloaded menus from somewhere long ago.

[taclled]

oh ok yeah i found the files but i didnt know how to edit them.

[Death_Pheonix]

no no no. i have game cam pro, i need a generlas camera mod so you can have a free camera. (like

[Phoenix911]

Would spectaor not work and you can then scroll around and turn the camra and zoon in and out anyway right?
And there was one i think on the filefront general website... but idk if u can use it with a mod, and when u mess with generals zoom being out more it makes black edges and stuff start appering round the sides.

[Death_Pheonix]

is it possible to have custom intros in generals?

[Phoenix911]

Well u can have any intro you want providing its the right codex i beleave and named and put in the right place in generals. Mods do have them sometimes so u could... i not sure what u edit or watever tho.

When does it crash, at start up? or when you use the power?

check the error log.

Also, run WorldBuilder, it can narrow down specific crash causes very well.

at start also ran world bulder but it doesnt tell me whats wrong it says something about default condition state

make 100% sure you have only ONE default conditionstate. Also, make sure there is no "normal" conditionstate if you are using default.

[Thats me!]

[Pendaelose]

how can i open scripts file

you don't open it fpr direct editing. Instead you use worldbuilder to edit them.

[Thats me!]
