What languge? what backround programs are running?
As far as I know ZHR (Zero Hour Remix) is only in Russian and English.

[Capt.Drake]

Yeah, there are problems with other languages!
It may work, but it's not garanted, but defenatly don't put english.csf and russian.csf together, take just english

[CPT.TIKER]

i downloaded the remix mod from this site.
inside the zip there are 4 files
generals.csf
readme.txt
Remix.big
SkirmishScripts.scb
my zero hour is in chinese(but because i have contra 004 i put the generals.csf in the Chinese folder so my contra 004 is in English but this is only for contra 004)(i deleted all of the files of contra 004 before i installed remix)
i have no other mods installed.
after i uninstalled the mods i repaired my zero hour before i installed any other mods.
i have nothing running in the background.

[Capt.Drake]

Ok, then I'll make sure you put the files in the right place!
Generals.csf: in the folder English, or for you it should be chinese, maybe you have to rename your folderin english, I'm not sure
Remix.big: goes in the Data folder, not just in the Zero Hour folder
Skirmishscripts.scb: goes in scripts by overwriting the old one
Hope this helps

when u said Remix.bg go into the data folder do u mean the data folder in ur zero hour or in my documents/command and conquer generals zero hour data?
the following is a copy of readme from contra 003 can some1 tell me if i should do the same with remix2.75

Unpack the archive.
Place Contra.big into "My Documents/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data/".
Place SkirmishScripts.scb into "Generals Zero Hour/Data/Scripts/".

Then edit Zero Hour shortcut by adding "-mod contra.big" to the end of link.
For example, I have this link for my computer:

"C:\Games\Generals Zero Hour\generals.exe" -mod contra.big

The mod is initially in Russian. If you need English version then place
generals.csf file into "Generals Zero Hour/Data/English/". If such folder
does not exist then you must create it.

If it is the same what name do i change the short cuts name 2.

[Capt.Drake]

I never had to edit any shortcut by the way
ok, this is where my stuff is EAGames\C&C Zero Hour\Data for the remix.big file
then sckirmish scripts.scb: EAGames\C&C Zero Hour\Data\scripts
and generals.csf: EAGames\C&C Zero Hour\Data\english

where do i get this russian version?

[Ubermedic]

It's in the Released versions sticky. It's in the same file....

[CPT.TIKER]

It's in the Released versions sticky. It's in the same file....

i dowloaded my from the released versions sticky but there was only 4 files inside i think i listed them already.Here it is again
generals.csf
readme.txt
Remix.big
SkirmishScripts.scb

also i have this problem with contra 004 and i dont know what this means

PROBLEM: You see purple icons instead of cameos.
REASON: You have non-english version of Zero Hour.
1st WAY OF SOLVING: Create a new empty folder. Find and unpack Contra.big using FinalBig tool. (Contra.big is located in your Zero Hour folder). Rename "English" folder. For example, if you have German version then rename it to "German"; if you have Spanish version then rename it to "Spanish" and so on. Then pack all content back into Contra.big and move new Contra.big into your Zero Hour folder.
2nd WAY OF SOLVING: Do everything like in 1st way, but instead of renaming, move all files from "Data/English/Art/Textures/" to "Art/Textures/".

i dont get the part unpack Contra.big using Finalbig tool
and i dont get pack all content back into Contra.big and move new Contra.big into your Zero Hour folder

Alright first go to google. Google FinalBig (Along with C&C Generals and the Like)
and download FinalBig
Find Contra.big with FinalBig installed you can open this file.
Now I belive (It's been awhile) you click file and hit Unpack/Extract.
Change the Directory to what you want.
Unpacked! TaDa.

and about remix....
I'd say...delete all files. (Heck just delete the Generals ZH folder all together)
Hit Repair. It will reinstall everything... and just try again
(You probably already did that but do it again)

four things came out when i unpacked it
ART
DATA
MAPS
WINDOW
do i put them all into D:\games\Command & Conquer\Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour





i already did repair it. i repair it everytime i delete a mod.
i am going to save the saved files of ZH and generals and deleted the game and then install it again.

[CPT.TIKER]

i think it works now
i used the Finalbig thing and did what umbermedic told me 2 do on contra 004 but i did it 2 remix and moved everything 2 ZH folder and then moved the rest of the zip into what ever folder they belong.


I am not sure because i think some of the folders do not belong in the ZH folder
after using Finalbig i got 5 folders
map
data
window
games
art
i think data and art belongs in the ZH folder but i dont think the others belong in the ZH folder.

Does the remix mod only give new units and general powers and buildings?( i ask this because when i look at my ZH background after what i did it looks the same contra 004.


alright it works now because i got units that werent in contra 004
but still all the icon(execpet the original 1s) are pink
can some 1 reasure me about the things on top( where the folders go)
Thank you all who tryed to help

the assault general crash in your log means you had the file in the wrong location. I've seen this many times and I know it quite well.

There is no russian version of REMIX. If you read you'll notice all those directions were for Contra, not Remix. they even say Contra on them. Also, the reason unpacking the Big file into the ZH fixed it is because that places the files where they need to go, but it makes an imposible mess to clean up and you cannot simple swap files to change mods anymore.

If you had just placed the files where I said the first time it would have worked. the different languge versions of the game do not cause a crash, they cause missing cameos and text.

so what do i do 2 get the cameos for remix now
as i said before i already used the Finalbig thingy on remix big i came out with 5 folders and placed them all in my ZH folder but i still got pink stuff instead of pics.(i used to have missing text but not anymore)

my remix crashed i dont know y here is what it says on crash log.
