Sadly, I have not yet gotten this -mod command to work. I have tried so many permutations I am begining to believe that this -mod command will not work unless you do infact have a .big file.

The default directory structure of the base data folder is as follows:

data\INI
data\INI\Objects
data\INI\Defaults

data\curors\
data\Art\


my perseption is that the files should go in the following way
<mymod>\INI
<mymod>\INI\Objects
<mymod>\INI\Defaults

<mymod>\curors\
<mymod>\Art\

in "\My Doc(...)\C&C Generals Zero Hour Data\ "

I have tried everything from laying the files flat in the base directory mod to creating data sub-folders. If this does in fact work, then someone please describe whatever mystical directory structure you used to accomplish this task, I would greatly appericate it.


BTW: Of course if I ever distrubute any of my mods I would use a .big file, however if you have a few little projects renaming the folders in the generals INI & Art directories becomes quite cumbersome. This is why im so adiment about getting this to work properly.

I am running version 1.02 for zero hour. According to http://www.eagames.c...mos.jsp?state=6,

its the latest.

I am probably just doing somthing stupid.

1. Do I need to create both a directory structure AND a .big file?
( I assume no)

2. Where do I store the mod files?
C:\Program Files\C&C Generals Zero Hour\Data\<my mod folder>

is what I think...
and in <my mod folder>.....
<my mod folder>\INI
<my mod folder>\INI\Objects
<my mod folder>\INI\Defaults

.... do I need somthing in an ini to say "hey, im a mod"?


------------------------------

BTW, my mods work perfectly when placed in:
C:\Program Files\C&C Generals Zero Hour\Data\INI

I will try that, but being that im at work I dont have the option completely available to me!

However: <root>\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data\
holds only the save file imformation does it not?

Seems like a super shoddy place to install a mod. That would explain alot tho, ill give that a try.

Try as I might, I am not able to get the -mod command to work properly for my mod. The *only instructions I have been able to find online are here:

http://gendev.origin...en_tut_modcomma

Which does not seem to be working for me. These instructions are unclear and imply that you have to both have a directory and .big file to use the -mod command (which does not make much sence)

I have tried many different things, but if someone could post what needs to be done, I would greatly appericate it

C:\(...)C&C Generals Zero Hour\Data\<mymod>

where <mymod> has the following sub folders:
<mymod>\Data\INI
<mymod>\Data\INI\Objects
<mymod>\Data\INI\Defaults
