Rise of the Reds – or ROTR for short – improves upon the C&C Generals formula while also adding its own distinct elements to it. Most notably, the mod adds two completely new factions, the tank-heavy Russian Federation and the defence-oriented European Continental Alliance. In addition, the three original factions China, USA and GLA have been greatly expanded and redesigned in a variety of ways, with several new units, buildings, powers and abilities to explore and combine in your in-game tactics.
Just a simple reskin pack for the USA faction, I've always hated how they look their vehicles, without any kind of camouflage or paint at all. The quality is simple, with some minor discrepancies here and there but nothing remarkable for the usual height view. Rangers, Missile defenders also have a new skin with digital urban camo and kevlar best. Paladins, Crusades, Hummers and variants (Avenger, Ambulance), Bradleys, Tomahawk launchers and Chaparrals use a new digital gray camo pattern. Vipers and commanches are less greenish, Viper looks really good now. and for the love of justice, the blackhawk now actually is a BLACKhawk INSTALLATION: Just place the Art folder in your game directory.
Looks good to me. :)
Very nice. Will you update it when 1.85 rolls around?
Maybe, but I'm really out of shape, can someone please recommend me a nice tool to edit textures for Generals.
try this one [http://www.gimp.org/] ,GIMPS the gnu image manipulator.
Is free (no torren\crack like photoshop)
can export as .DDS (better for zerohours) also .TGA too
can make "transparent" color easy
Ps:how can apply housecolor for infantry skin(for tank is diffenent) y get some problem for that xD
I think you need to use the alpha channel, then you "mark" the regions you want to show housecolors and you embed it inside the .tga file.
Very nice work - the roof of the ambulance though should be a little darker - it now clashes too much with the darker cameo.
And if possible, maybe darking all US building structures by just a few shades of grey would be a good idea
Yup I'm working on those two points
can it be installed on a downloaded version of ZH?
deleted
hey i can't seem to find the art folder can ya tell me where it could be its not where the maps are right?
man u almost gave me a heart attack!! i though its the new version release >.<
man, don't say new version around here!! hahahaha
This is so beautiful in so many levels.
Are there plans for skin packs for other factions (e.g., China)?
hmmm maybe not this time, I still working on USA for the moment, pathfinders needs some love. Also building are one those things few people reskin, and I want to be one of them.
I LOVE IT! :D
Out of curiosity, how exactly does one create/modify textures for ZH/ROTR? I'd like to create a camo texture pack as well, like having desert camo for USA, urban camo for ECA, green camo for Russia, etc.
photoshop, open the original texture file's and then edit them in photoshop.
For Vehicles and some you can use paint.net. But you need alpha channel to make skins with housecolors for the infantry, photoshop or gimp a the best options.
After some time the game crashes now :p
Don't look at me, this is only a pack of textures.
I applaud you for this, it looks really professional and fits nicely alongside ECA, Russia and the new GLA:s visual styles.
Naaagh it isn't professional at all... in fact I'm already working on a new version with lots of fixes and new skins for the microwave tank, bombers/figthers and pathfindings.
Sorry to be a noob while asking but: how i can get this files into the game?

You just put the "ART" Folder in the Zero Hour Directory.
Cool. You SHOULD apply for one of SWR-Production's skin designers. Also, SWR-Production should consider these textures for 1.85 or 2.0.
How do you get the textures out of the ROTR GIB file to edit?
just open them with finalbig.

Oh man this is cool... I only have one question, does this desync if you on online play at all or per say... if im using it on the internal version? Obviously the latter question may be hard to answer but this looks really cool
Sorry for the late answer, no, it doesn't

Are you still working on this, since 1.85 is out...
Also, is this compatible with 1.85?
Keeps say the file contains a virus and it won't let me download!
D:
Nice work though, just from the pictures this looks very nice.
