Elandslaagte - V|GO

Overview
Vietnam | Glory Obscured is a total conversion for Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour that aims to simulate warfare during the Vietnam War.
Different factions are the United States Of America (USA), and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), all complete with realistic units from the time period. Maps aim to recreate the feel of strategy within Vietnam, with emphasis on using the jungle to your advantage. Custom trees create realistic jungles that camouflage infantry for ambushes, only allowing infantry to pass through thick areas blocking ground based units unless your burn a path with Napalm or Agent Orange.
Starting with nine different infantry types per side puts infantry at the focus of the mod. All vehicles support the infantry as they would in real life; similarly, infantry must support vehicles for an assault to be successful. Units such as the Marine Force Recon soldier has the ability to radio in Artillery Strikes, while Marine Snipers can hide in trees waiting for the perfect kill and Combat Medics can revive fallen soldiers.
The mod also features naval units, such as PBR boats and Hovercrafts, as well as massive capturable ships such as the USS New Jersey battleship, so assaulting the enemy opens up more strategic options than before. Insert Green Berets by chopper to set up a minefield to thin the enemy forces out, or assault directly with a mixed ground and air force supported by heavy artillery. Fast rope your troops in through the jungle canopy to prevent them being massacred at a hot LZ.
Use local villages to your advantage by taking them over, control local Berlesk Houses to increase your revenue, set up Fire Bases around supply dumps or burn them all to the ground using Incendiary White Phosphorus Bombs. If your forces are being over run, signal "Broken Arrow" to call all available aircraft to help.
This mod aims to have things realistic, while keeping it fun to play at the same time. Infantry will blow apart when hit with explosives, they will bleed when hit, tanks or explosives are needed to destroy buildings, units with amphibious capabilities in real live will be able to enter the water, whores will be in local villages, thick jungles will conceal infantry and if you don't use a mixed assault force, you're almost certain to fail.
This style of gameplay has never before been seen in Command and Conquer Generals, and makes for a whole new experience. This is Vietnam | Glory Obscured.

Pegasus v1.4 Release
We've been hard at work on the NVA faction and as we balance and optimize things, the USA faction gets it's share of fixes, additions and balance tweaks. Rather than sit on all these wonderful changes, we felt there was enough content added to the USA to warrant a version update.
Below you can see some of the new features we've added, a new unit, new maps, a new music track, and tons of bug fixes and balance adjustments.
Download Full Pegasus v1.4
Before Install:
- Be sure to UNISTALL any previous version of the mod BEFORE installing Pegasus v1.4
- Be sure to delete the VGO folder in your Zero Hour directory if you have a previous version of the mod, some users were reporting the uninstaller sometimes doesn't remove all the files.
- Be sure Zero Hour is patched up to 1.04 before installing Pegasus 1.4

PEGASUS 1.4 PATCH NOTES
New Features:
New monetary system - villages provide some funds even when unoccupied (but provide far more when occupied!) and each player gets a constant stream of free funds.
New Optimized fast loading shell map
Fire propagation - when trees catch fire, the fire can spread to other trees
Agent Blue causes trees to become "poisoned", considerably damaging infantry until trees regrow
New Font for main menu
Broken Arrow Overhaul - rather than one large strike, you get smaller more frequent strikes. OV-10 Bronco is sent in orbit the area and you can select where the air strikes hit, much like how targeting works for the AC-130 Gunships.
New special effects for napalm
Visual improvements to the jungle trees
New Unit - Monitor:
A floating weapons platform, can switch between weapons:
-- 105mm cannon turret
-- 2 "Zippo" flame turret

can i be a tester
I tried this, really like. If you want me to do some concept art for you to advertise with just ask I'll do some doodlings. Good job mate.
You got a link to some of your work? I'd like to check it out.
First i gotta say this is a really good mod, i tried it on a friends computure but im sooo fucking pissed cause u havent fixed the mod completly, there aint no fucking auto updater, when i install the mod and launch it i get a message: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. and a bounch of other shit, then i klick ''Ok'' and i get to the Vietnam Glory Obscured screen, it says ''Version: ???'', anyways, then i press ''Start'' and C&C Zero hour starts ? no mod ? wtf is this man, cant u try make a full install instead of makin a damn auto updatar that dont even work
Could be a number of issues; I'd first try reinstalling .NET
First of all the auto updater (launcher) does work correctly, it is mostly the exact launcher as CWC's.
Secondly if this is the first time you ever had the mod you have to wait for the launcher to completely download the mod files (around 300MB worth) while youre connected to the internet, common sense.
Third the devs might make a 1.4 install preloaded with the files for certain versions.
Fourth you could have bought this up like a civilized human instead of what was presented above and seek help on the forums or IRC like a civilized person.
Well there's more of them than the devs. :\
It's getting there, but life keeps getting in the way. ;)
Alas, we have one programmer (swamped with work), one mapper (on holiday) and one artist (on holiday).
And a load of testers working constantly on finding these new bugs, can't forget us Anti. :P
Actually I wouldnt call it load (about 4 active tester and some in reserves).
So wouldnt mind some extra qualified help in the testing section.
