Hi! I failed to respond well over four years ago. Sorry, I'm super inactive on moddb. ^^;

No, I think you misunderstand. There is no program. They're just renamed files.

I was planning on doing it differently later on, but I kinda never did it properly.

SIGEN6.dat and WindowSIGEN.dat are just .big files with a .dat extension. There's no difference. You should just rename them. SIGEN6.dat is likely INIZH.big and WindowSIGEN.dat is probably WindowZH.big..

SIGENlaunch.dat is actually Install_Final.bmp- the splashscreen from launch. And SIGENstring.dat replaces the Generals.str in the Data folder.. I think I used to replace the icon as well.. not sure.

The other dat files, which all have 'ZH' in the name, are actually the original ZH files. The backup, to change everything back after you close the game. If my launcher ever broke during the game it might've screwed up people's installations..

Like I said, I was kind of a hack. Nowadays I would definitely do it differently, probably go along with the common mod styles, perhaps make a proper version to work with the commonly used Mod Manager.. But I have no intention of working on the SIGEN mod again.

You're honestly lucky I decided to reply at all, hehe, considering I said a few years ago that I would no longer reply.. ^^;.. Just kinda.. didn't want to leave you hanging.

Thank you for the praise but really I was kind of a hack back then.

Ooooh, you want to open the dat files, right.. Well, er.. Let me just admit that I waa a bad programmer back then and.. Well.. They're just renamed. There is no fancy conversion. The .dat files are just .big files under a different name. Except the launcher image, that .dat file is actually a .bmp, if I recall correctly.

I'm sorry, but what do you mean? What program do you need?

PLEASE NOTE THAT FROM NOW ON, I AM NO LONGER REACTING TO COMMENTS IN HERE.

I've been doing a bit of looking back and replying to things from years ago even, but I cannot come back to check on this. The mod's done and over, dead and everything. I hope you all still enjoy this shoddy little mod, but beyond that, I'm not doing anything anymore with it.

The Tunnel Network was picked over the Toxin Network as to add.. just a slight bit of balance. The Tunnel Network was only used to move units, and not as actual defensive structure.

If you want to defend the Tunnel Network, add one of the turrets or the bunker.. ;)

People actually like that thing? It's kinda bad, in my opinion. Shoddy as hell armor, and nearly everything can shoot it down..

I was using an altered version of her war factory, anyway. But it didn't have the Paladin cause I didn't WANT the Paladin, not cause it was USA.

If you look closely, the image informs you that there are in fact USA and GLA vehicles in there too, aside from the chinese ones.

I ah.. wasn't that much of a fan of the Paladin. This mod was created to add a force with superior firepower, and the paladin, in my opinion, kinda doesn't match up to the chinese tanks.

Got your PM and replied to it... I don't really understand why people are having trouble, it might be shoddy but I would've sworn it was kinda direct and to the point? ^_^;

You uh.. don't. There's a news post awaiting authorization, explaining how to do this.

But here's a pro-tip: Run firsttimesetup.ext first.

I presume you may have some corrupt files there.. my mod basically puts clean files with the mod into the folder, so if your game is running better with the SIGEN mod, your normal files are probably not that clean anymore.

Since this doesn't actually install anything, go ahead? The only problem is that this mod requires vanilla Zero Hour to run, so if you want to play SIGEN mod again, you'll want to uninstall the other mod.

Sorry 'bout that.

General Tao's version isn't different, to be honest?

Yes, and even all of the seperate Generals command centers.

I'm not sure what you're talking about..?

It got a ton of downloads and views on it's release day, with people apparently interested in a one-man mod job. I was surprised, too. :)

I have not.. but it might be an idea.

I could potentially set up the SIGEN faction once more, though it depends on the time available to me. :)

Also, I kind of.. ah.. forget to check moddb. XD

Happened to me on the Jeepers Leapers map on wave 19. Except I was co-oping with a friend over LAN. :(

I'm still checking on a weekly base if there's something new, but really WORKING on it, nope.

Keep paying attention though, I might be posting something new in the near-ish future. Might actually still take awhile, but eh. It's mostly a concept rather than actually something.

I would, but nobody really took me up on the offer to help pinpoint all the bugs.

If anything, I could release a hotfix for that spawn bug, but eh..

I dont think I'll ever do REAL work on this mod again. I've got others things to do first. I've also got different mods planned, but it'll need time and preparation. Also a team this time... but ah, that's all in the future.

I hope they release an SDK soon.. so a team can make a mod out of this game.

Y'know, perhaps SOMEONE can save this piece of crap, if only by fixing the game's mechanics.

Finish this.

I wont forgive you if you abandon this. :(

It seems interesting, but you're going to have to actually put out more than just images to get the major fanbase over.

If I may advise, show some in-game videos, that usually gets you more fans. :)

I'm sorry to hear you cannot download it. If you really want this mod, I can email it to you?

Heh, I laughed at that. :)

Despite that, I'll be cashing in my cheques, in wait for L4D2.

Still though, it seems like a good sequel, but 49.95 again?.. THAT is what depresses me.

Well, it isn't meant to be a full conversion mod, but rather an introduction for us into the world of modding.

It may not be a good mod, but it's stable and working. That's more than I can say about most mods.

Lemme know when you decide to create your own mod. :P

It's a completely new faction. We haven't touched the Boss general, only copied her template as base.
