Hello! Do you have textures of Russian military equipment in dark khaki, like in reality? Red vehicles look cool, but not logical ((( Or can I add textures from the previous version of the mod with green vehicles?

* Hello comrade :-

- I would like to point out that the black screen problem that I had referred to in the previous version of TEOD 0.98 Patch-01 has disappeared and no longer appears, Thank God , in the new version of TEOD 0.98.2 Patch- Where you told me that one of the settings might be the cause of this problem, and I discovered that it is the setting for the heat FX , as you said in the reply. A great salute to you ; But a very annoying and silly problem appears in this new version, that it is not possible to use the camera height when playing Multiplayer games , The strange thing about this problem is surprising That in Skrimish Play This problem does not appear and the height of the camera can be controlled either from outside the game using program Geen Tool settings or internally during the game by pressing (insert) button during playing .

- And once again , thank you for your most wonderful effort, as I play Multiplayer the game with my brother at home against each other, and the problem of the low level of the camera disturbs the gameplay while playing. Please find a solution to this strange problem .

It's not about this mod or another. Multiplayer is locked at specific height. To overcome it you need the modded exe

Hi Alexei. Hope all is well. Great update. Fixed many things. It seems no matter which faction or sub-faction I play, none of the Air Defense/Radar works. The smaller ADA units (light ADA) work fine. The ones that need the separate radar trucks - they all deploy, but will not fire any missile at any incoming plane. Is there something I am not doing properly? Dont see this in the read file. Also, I commented earlier on the skirmish map (AOD) Cobalt Rush V2. It still does not work. I tried everything. There is much talk that this is the hardest map to conquer. The problem is every time, at level 15, it says to "Destroy the boss to proceed to the next wave. No cheating. Wave15." On YouTube, there are many videos of the version that does work (non-modded it seems) that shows a china battlemaster tank coming out (difficult to defeat). Yet, in your previous 3 versions, no battlemaster tank comes out. The game just "sits there." You can build units, etc, but no enemy comes out, therefore I can not progress further beyond level 15. Do you (OR ANYONE) have any ideas on this? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Again, Thank you Alexei for your hard work and commitment for this mod. Keep up the good work and vigilance!

Thank you kindly
Shoefu

Dear Developer,

You keep bringing amazing innovations and brilliant ideas to this game. Flawless job!

Unfortunately, two problems concerned with AI have not been fixed yet.

1. AI (except GLA) can still use Long-range AA units (S-300, Thaad, HQ-9 SAM) without mobile radar. That is not fair.

2. AI GLA can buy camouflage upgrade in every building and even in several units. Human player no longer has this possibility.
This happens only when AI chooses Rapid Attack sub-faction, so it is alright in some sense :)

I know little about game files and how to extract INI files or modify them right inside the BIG file, so you can use any professional slang and I will understand it.

Could you share some details IN SHORT how & why it works if it is not secret, please? I wish I knew more... that's why I'm asking you, the real specialist.

1. Making AI to use both Radars and Heavy sam in combination is almost impossible mission. So they have to cheat, like it or not we can live with that. Anyway AI cheats in many aspects, because is not adaptive and smart as a human can be.
2. GLA is using Helicopters with GPS scrambler modules to make the structures invisible, please check carefully next time ;)

Thank you very much.
Yeah, I saw once GLA uses invisible helicopters and they do nothing at all even when they are attacked.
Now I understand why AI cheats sometimes with 'unlimited' money - you kind of had to do it to make AI more competitive. It is acceptable. Correct me if I'm wrong :-)

Thank you, dear developer team, for your fantastic work! Your mod is how I've always wanted the original C&C Generals Zero Hour to be. Everything I'm gonna say below is my personal preference and opinion.

I'll start with Russia.

I. Mechanized Assault Command
1. Great idea with the inclusion of the T-90M "Proryv" tank but why is it only available via tank paradrop generals power? I'd replace the vanilla T-90 with the T-90M right after the Mechanized Assault upgrade.
2. The Msta-S should have the "Krasnopol" guided artillery shell upgrade.
3. The 2S4 "Tyulpan" 240 mm heavy mortar system should be introduced into the game.

II. Strategic Missile Command
1. The "Igla" MANPADS should be upgraded to the "Verba" MANPADS (longer range and more effective against aerial targets)
2. The BM-30 Smerch MLRS should have the ability to be upgraded to Tornado-S MLRS (more extended range, faster reload time) just like the S-300 can be upgraded to S-500.
3. I'd replace the Topol-M vehicle with the RS-28 "Sarmat" missile silo.

III. Aerospace Command
1. I'd add kamikaze drones (Geran 2, Lancet, etc)
2. The 2S9 "Nona-S" VDV self-propelled gun should be available via VDV-para drop general's power

That's it for now! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to further updates.

Good ideas, man - all them are fully acceptable in my point of view (except RS-28 'Sarmat' - it is intercontinental, there is no need in it).
'Geran 2' also is not russian originally, so it should belong to GLA.

It seems strange that the author has not replied yet to your offer.

Maybe someone has already asked the author about adding European Union (including Ukraine, of course) as the fifth faction to the game...but I will ask him once, again :)

Hi, im using Genlauncher, i add hotfix patch in folder:
...Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\GLM\TEOD\0.98.2
Is this the place to add "Data" files?
I can't adjust the camera height since version 0.98.1, is there any way to fix this problem?

SO you have issues with the map or the other player. Something is not entirely correct.
We have such problems from time to time in MP, however we can't identify mod problem, so it might be just bad Generals engine, or something wrong with players version.

There is still an small interesting 'bug' with AI GLA - in some cases it can buy 2 or 3 upgrades on Tunnel Network.

It happens mostly when this building was destroyed and automatically rebuilt from Hole in case AI had purchased one upgrade before.

I think the Tunnel Network just remembers the previously purchased upgrade. When structure is rebuilt, that upgrade for some reason still exists on it (human player cannot have this situation). And then AI somehow can install another upgrade over it.

It looks funny and not so unfair (several barrels stick out of the turret and rotate independently of each other, and their textures are mixed).
Just imagine: one defensive structure is equally effective against both infantry and tanks - a dream comes true)

That's a feature, not a bug...) I suppose it may be concerned with another, very old advantage of AI - in some maps GLA and USA can place many buildings in one place, like they have lack of space around.
Yes, I know that AI uses something like plan or scheme to build its base, and if the starting position is made slightly incorrect, AI doesn't care about that)))

It's not multiple upgrades, but I believe the Ai builds same tunnel over the hole and overlap them. IDK how to fix it...
