Fixing Remix Installs

1. Uninstall ZeroHour, and Delete the entire folder. Now re-install ZeroHour. We don't want any other files lurking around from failed installs of Remix, previous versions, or any other mod. Test ZeroHour to make sure it runs correctly without any mods.
2. Open your ZerHour folder. Go to /Data/Ini/ Delete any files you see here. ZH doesn't need it to run because there is a copy of "INIZH.Big" in the root folder, but they will override any mod files.
3. Run the Remix installer. Point it at the root folder of your ZeroHour install. In your game folder you should have four !Remix_ .big files. Audio, Art, Data, INI. (these must be directly in the folder where ZeroHour is installed) There should also be a RemixTools folder.
4. Inside the RemixTools folder you should find "Generals.csf.mod" and "SkirmishScripts.scb.mod". If they do not say ".mod" the end, but they show up as movies drop down to Step 100!. Now, rename "Generals.csf.mod" to "Generals.csf" and rename "SkirmishScripts.scb.mod" to "SkirmishScripts.scb"
5. Copy "Generals.csf" into your /Data/English folder
6. Copy "SkirmishScripts.scb" into your /data/Scripts folder
7. Start the game from the normal ZH icon, or the Remix icon. Play and enjoy. Enjoy is mandatory.
100. You have "Hide known File Extensions turned on. This is a terrible feature that makes life difficult for windows users. You need to turn it off.
101. Open "my computer"
102. Tap ALT-T one time, this will open your drop down tools.
103. Tap O, this will open the options.
104. click on the VIEW tab.
105. Uncheck "Hide Extensions for known file types"
106. click OK and now look in the folder. you'll see the proper file extensions now and can change the extension the same way you rename a file. Return to Step 4.
Between now and the next polished release there should be very little new art work done. Instead the focus is on designing, testing, and fixing. the mod has always been so close to finished that its nearly criminal. I'd love to see this through to the end with a real community effort.

why is there no GLA generals?
you have an old version. Go to ModDB and get the latest version of Remix Escalation.

When we download it, do we just have to click on the installer and follow the instructions, or do we have to move some files?
If running the installer doesn't work then try the steps above.

How do we know of it's first decade? I've never understood that.
on the 10th anniversary of the first CnC game EA released a bundle pack called "CnC: The First Decade". It used a different installer and a different registry from the first release of ZeroHour. This caused lots of problems. Other than that it's the same game and version number.

When we want to play Remix on TFD, we do the following:
Install TFD unofficial patch 1.03:

Then install this little pack I put together (instructions inside):
http://dl.dropbox.co...10107/ZHFix.rar
If you need an explanation of what my pack is, it's basically a NoCD crack, and a crashfix. Zero Hour never detected my TFD disk, so I applied this crack. The options.ini is a fix for an error on some Win7/Vista systems where the game freezes at the splashscreen. Note that I also use the Conra netfix, it helps with desyncs, which apparently seems to be the prime weapon of Tank general. The closer we get to winning, the more likely it is to desync
