BEFORE COMMENTING YOU MAY NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS UPDATE: Moddb.com
ALSO NOTE THIS FOR PLAYING THE V1.4 BETA:
ALSO MAKE SURE TO MOVE OR DELETE YOUR SCRIPTS FOLDER IN THE ZERO HOUR
GAME DATA FOLDER OR THE MOD SKIRMISH AI WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY!
(e.g. C:/Program Files/EA Games/Command & Conquer Generals Zero
Hour/Data/Scripts) THIS WILL NOT BE FOUND IN THE FOLDER LOCATED IN THE
"MY DOCUMENTS" FOLDER! THIS IS WHERE THE ACTUAL GAME IS INSTALLED!
Q1.) Why are Engineers being re-useable?
A1.) They are not when you use them on enemy buildings. This bug occurs when you try to capture
a tech building. This appears to be a game engine issue.
Q2.) Why do my harvesters stop working after a while?
A2.) This is an odd AI bug that occurs when you build your Tiberium Refinery using the Construction Yard System. But harvesters are also known to periodically stop working after they reach a Tiberium field. I have seen this particular bug in the original game and it seems odd that it has been replicated here as well.
Q3.) Why do my units run through each other and through the buildings or simply seem to "push" them with no effect?
A3.) This is another random bug that I have concluded to be a game engine defect and an AI pathfinding issue.
hm... how come i can see the props in the campaign even tho the shroud has covered it?
how can i fix the icon problem when it says "please insert the correct cd room then select ok and restart application"pls help me fix this
There are two icons due to a weird conflict between the First Decade Version and the original Zero Hour launchers. Try both launcher icons. There is an article around here in the Mod profile detailing this issue.
I found a bug with one of the campaign missions i think, on the 4th GDI mission... the one where youve got to get to the civilian village and protect it from an attack by NOD forces. Once i got to the village only one wave of enemies attacked me then i waited around for about 10 minutes and nothing happened so i sent a Humm Vee to investigate and found the second wave of NOD forces (the one with the 2 Light Tanks and 2 Buggies) just sitting on the East side of the map doing nothing. Is that supposed to happen?
Weird bug indeed... it is scripted for them to attack as soon as you enter the village. You also can get reinforcements once there. I say it should be investigated. lol
I did a little playtesting on the harvester bug, and here's what I've found out.
If you're unfamiliar with the bug, the harvester that comes from the refinery (apparently only if you build from the ConYard rather than an MCV) seems to gather Tiberium then just hang out behind the refinery rather than dropping it off. I fixed it pretty simply by directly ordering the harvester to drop off the load, then directly ordering again on the Tiberium. After that I had no problems, and I also very rarely had similar problems with additional harvesters constructed at the weapons factory/airstrip. But the micromanagement trick seems to work, just takes a few seconds of your time. Great mod, by the way; I am truly impressed.
*EDIT* BTW, as a suggestion for a fix, maybe the harvester thing has something to do with the way the original code's supply depots and trucks work. Because when the harvester is working properly, it seems to prefer the front entrance (as it should), but in Generals they'll park anywhere next to the building. Hope that helps.
I have a very odd Bug: No Strings in the Entire Game. I mean ther aren't any unit discreption, also no Text in the Mainmenu, It isn'T show what Money I have, the Energy level isn't shown in cipher...
No Text but only in the Mod.
I think it is because I have the German Version (Called Generäle) with uncut Patch.
i had this 2 times, all the times it happened i just restarted the pc.
problem solved
Ok I don't know why, but now it runs :O
By the way, its one of the greatest mods I've ever seen.
It's odd but when I saw that it worked once then it didn't work afterwards and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Generals and it's ZH counterpart but it still had the (work for the first time but then didn't work afterwards) problem, can anyone please help me with this, I keep on getting this when it doesn't work the second time, really odd: Img693.imageshack.us If someone can help fix this bug the ones who have these problems would truly appreciate it including me. :)
Have you downloaded the launcher update? It has a cleanup utility attached to it now. This may be an issue with some missing files and make sure you have administrator rights to running the program. Moddb.com
I just did but it still doesn't seem to work and the moment I open the CLEANUP program it just quickly closes out, once again odd... :/ It just still showed Retard ZH and not the kick *** TDR... Oh well... DX
Did you try both the shortcuts in the update? There is of course the one that you have been using that gives you configuration options and then there is another called "Quick Launch" that works just like a normal game shortcut icon that instantly launches the game executable with the default Mod configurations for you.
I tried that but it just went to Retard ZH. D:
Are you installing the Mod to C&C The First Decade version of Zero Hour or the original retail version? If you only have the original retail version you may need to review tutorial question 3 under installation issues in the troubleshooting thread on our forums here: Cnc-comm.com In other words, the installer looks for and installs to C&C The First Decade by default.
I'm using TFD since I don't have G or it's exp ZH by itself. Also i'm using Windows Vista so it has the Directory set up wrong since it's located in Program Files (x86) for the Windows Vista users of course.
Yeah run the installer again and manually browse for your game data directory as it is stated in the notes in the link. It has to be the EXACT same directory as your TFD for TDR to work. ;)
But I already Browse for the correct directory though and after installing it still doesn't work after the first time for some odd reason.
guys need help ... when i build Refinery there is no harvester??
and no tiberium to harvest on map ??
Played skirmish, AI dont attack me he build lots of miniguners and nothing (played on hard) what is the problem?
You have to click on the harvester icon and then you'll have a free harvester.
i cant launch the game, it just starts Zero Hour
i fixed my zero hour launch prob, but now it says it cant find the disk
I downloaded V1.3 and was impressed at this technical achievement of a MOD. Outstanding work to the guys to worked on this masterpiece. There are a few bugs that i encountered however, most notably the inability to play skirmish mode because 1 minute into the scenario, the AI (no matter how easy or difficult) becomes "defeated". Sounds like you guys are working it out. I wanted to compliment you on the mod more than anything
I have a bug: whenever I play skirmish, the AI just sits there and doesn't build anything. Also, The factions don't seem to be change; like when I'm playing Nod, I might get a battlemaster or gatling gun coming at me. Anyway to fix this?
Have you downloaded the Improved launcher patch because this can solve many of your issues. Moddb.com
i am not sure this is a "bug":
some textures looks weird,i don't how to describe it,i see it in tiberium,small trees and the first building you see in the left side of the game menu when u start the game.
i don't know if it is anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering ,it like small and many dots moving fasts.
I have noticed it too on some occasions and I believe it may be a side effect of the experimental bump mapping technique I used for the game engine. I am trying to confirm this.
i increased the resolution and it is playable now
notes:
it would be great if u add more units,Nuke is a lot better than ion cannon(nuke got big damage zone ).Terrain(ground) is perfect,couple of towers can hold medium AI.
you need someone to help you with textures and modules.
I installed using 1.3 installer I start via the batch file and choose the right options, but I get error in the text window something about duplicate file, or can't find file.
The game attempts to start and I get splash screen but then it gives an error that it couldn't start the game something about serious error overheating etc.
Which is nonsense.
I run normal zero hour fine @ 1920x1080 Max detail, 4aa, 16 af, zoom camerahack @ 600.
Could someone help me?
my mail is christianvano_89@hotmail.com
Thank you very much appreciated.
Hi everything seems to work fine except that I have no text appearing at all. This problem only appears with the mod... what is wrong?
Thanks
Every time I play skirmish on 1.4 beta, I win instantly without even seeing the enemy.
FIXED!!! This happened because of not reading the installation instructions, I deleted the "Scripts" folder and now it works, sorry.
Delete the Scripts folder in the Zero Hour game data folder. See the instructions on the download page and news post.
