The goal of Generals Evolution is to remake C&C Generals on Red Alert 3 engine, in other words it's a total conversion of Red Alert 3,
which features better online play, better graphics fidelity and stability.
Generals Evolution also bring new units, overhauled visuals, new maps, new sounds and game feel.
Please note that it's not 1:1 port of C&C Generals and it's not meant to replace original game, but rather imitate it as close as it is possible.
Summary:
The goal of Generals Evolution is to remake C&C Generals on Red Alert 3 engine, in other words it's a total conversion of Red Alert 3,
which features better online play, better graphics fidelity and stability.
Generals Evolution also bring new units, overhauled visuals, new maps, new sounds and game feel.
Please note that it's not 1:1 port of C&C Generals and it's not meant to replace original game, but rather imitate it as close as it is possible.
Generals Evolution was designed to work only on Windows based systems and with legit copy of the game, either from Steam or Origin,
DVD copy won't work due to inability to inject mod critical engine fixes.
Please also note that this is the initial beta of the mod, a lot of things are not implemented or outright broken,
we're aware of all the issues and problems and will fix them in future releases. If you get random crashes or issues - there's nothing we can do right now,
we'll try to fix them in future releases.
######################HOW TO INSTALL###################### :
It is very critical that you patch your Red Alert 3 .game file to enable Large Address Aware flag,
otherwise you will encounter random crashes and glitches, please use this handy tool to patch Red Alert 3 Game Data file :
Moddb.com
1) Make sure to launch Red Alert 3 at least once on your system, tweak graphical and resolution settings to your likings.
2) Unzip contents of the archive anywhere on your pc ( for example D:/Games/GenEvo/ ).
3) Launch GenEvo.exe and hit Play, alternatively use provided GenEvo - Windowed Mode.bat to play in Windowed mode.
4) Enjoy!
Perks of using Launcher, which was made by Darth Jane :
1) Native C&C Online integration, you only need your login details.
2) Fixed crashes when firing from containers ( for example commanding infantry inside humvee to forcefire at anything ),
3) Easy to install and work with.
######################IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH PROPER INSTALL###################### :
!!!!!!!!!!!!This method of installing and playing mod is highly unstable and prone to random crashes and asset unloading ( pink textures ), only use as last-ditch effort!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is very critical that you patch your Red Alert 3 .game file to enable Large Address Aware flag,
otherwise you will encounter random crashes and glitches, please use this handy tool to patch Red Alert 3 Game Data file :
Moddb.com
1) Make sure to launch Red Alert 3 at least once on your system, tweak graphical and resolution settings to your likings.
2) Navigate to your Documents/Red Alert 3 folder ( for example C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Red Alert 3\ ) and make Mods folder.
3) Open up your Mods folder and Make GenEvo folder inside of it.
4) Put GenEvo_B0.1.skudef, GenEvo_B0.1_Misc.big and GenEvo_B0.1_Streams.big into it. Here's an example of where files should be placed ( C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Red Alert 3\Mods\GenEvo\ )
5) Launch Red Alert 3 with -ui parameter and select Game Broswer and choose Mods tab, double click on GenEvo.
6) Enjoy?
Again, this method is highly prone to crashes and random asset unloading issues ( pink textures ), only use this if you're desperate to play this and for some reason
launcher doesn't work for you. Just be aware that this method is not officially supported and feedback/issues won't be taken.
Having infantry inside bunkers/vehicles and commanding them to forcefire at anything will crash the game, this is fixed in launcher.
download it first!
i cant believe its here
Great job as usual Gunship Mark! Here is to your future successes! This will be a milestone in RA3 Modding.
Many thanks
i cant believe its here
works perfectly, did a game as China, no crashes, no problems getting it started!
It has become very beautiful
Excellent thank you
Please continue
Unique
I tested
It can only be said to be excellent
Thank
Ladies and Gentlemen, zero hour revives!
Lets gooo hypee
Gentlemen, we are witnessing the revival of ancient legend
the best mod ever played and it has very very very much quality of work big thanks to you guys great work
Best Red Alert 3 mod I ever played. Outstanding work!
It is possible to run this mod if I have RA3: Uprising and not the base game? Just curious.
Nope; Uprising can't run mods--only the base game can
Amazing mod
now we can make Generals zero hour mods of a mod on RA3 engine :D
ty for this great mod downloading now :) great work you guys this is amazing
uh somethings wrong with the launcher, my antivirus removed it due to malicious content it seems
False positive; the launcher also acts as a dll injector to fix some in-engine errors that the mod itself can't fix. It's safe.
Returns an error on startup "GenEvo.exe".
Language pack 'Russian' is not installed.
That was an oversight on my part. Gunship can upload a fix when he's back. You can just go to where GenEvo was extracted to, and in the launcher directory there's a "english.csf" file, rename that to "russian.csf" (or copy it and rename the copy)

Спасибо за решение проблемы, но тут возникает новая проблема.
После запуска "Play", выдает такую ошибку.
"An unknown version of the game is installed. Please get the game from an official source.
If your game is from an official source please write a message on the WrathEd/Nanoswarm Discord with this hash: D3D7E1F7"
Create a "Mods" folder in ..Documents/Red Alert 3/ put GenEvo folder inside.
Follow this tutorial to activate mod:

Incredible work Gunship! Can't believe it's finally here!
Keep up the good work 🙏🙏
This will be the best Spring Festival gift! Good mod ,i love it!
要是让EA做重制会做成什么样子?
Hello
with these words he swears: "An unknown version of the game is installed. Please get the game from an official source.
If your game is from an official source please write a message on the WrathEd / Nanoswarm Discord with this hash: 13F3E041 "
how to solve?
Origin
That hash is already addressed in the Nanoswarm server; expect a fix in the mod's next update, as the launcher itself has been updated to fix that (I'm not the dev, I'm just a messenger)

help please, I can not start the game, I open the genevo.exe error and this Nano Swarm Hive appears???
Nanoswarm Hive is the launcher that fixes some in-engine bugs that a regular mod alone can't fix. You need to follow its instructions and go to the WrathEd/Nanoswarm server to paste your error code.
Awesome
Mother of God *takes of sunglasses* it's here.
So I just got back playing a skirmish mode to test out the mod and I gotta say. Holy ****, I am impressed. And this is only a 0.1 Beta? I cannot wait what you guys have in store in future releases, its already its own game at this point.
Hm i downloaded red alert 3 on origin and its normally working, but starting the mod it tells me that "language pack german is not installed".
What should i do?
EDIT: okay i fixed it i just copied the german.csf data in the launcher folder of GenEvo, but after that i just got the title screen and nothing happens than.

I have the same problem. Even after uninstalling the game, changing origin client language to english it keeps installing the game in german. Also the control center to change the language does not seem to exist in the origin version. Does the mod even work for the german version?

This is a damn message
What should I do?
That hash has already been addressed and fixed in the latest Nanoswarm Hive update; the mod needs to be updated now to include the updated launcher (I'm not the dev, I'm just a messenger)
