Greetings friends.
I'm posting to assure that this mod has not been abandoned. However, I do have to disclose that this is a very casual project, and I am definitely no pro modder.
At the moment, the latest release suffers from a few issues, the most important being an unknown crash that occurs when playing or facing Superweapon General. I am investigating which units/changes is causing the crash. Other issues I am aware of include incomplete animation sets for minigunners and marines.
The next release aims to address these issues, and also improve the skirmish scripts and continue to add changes and refinements to our factions. Currently, I have no ETA, but if you like this mod, stay tuned as I assure you, slowly but steadily, content is being made.
Thanks for your patience.

Im new to this so this might be a stupid question but how to you get it to run? I downloaded it but not sure what to do after that.
There are tutorials on YouTube, and many game show casers (many of which do C&C Zero Hour) that have "how to" videos on their home channel. Look at reddit for links to C&C fan and gameplay sites, as they have very helpful forums, and gamers/modders who can help you. Happy Gaming. Seek and you shall find.
you need to extract all the files inside the game file (inside the C&C zero hour) then run the game launcher
Damn, i just want a mod that change amount of supply docks, after a while, the game is dead because there is no more supply in the map. Or supply regen or anything.. Tried to edit that with FinalBIG.exe but without success.
Sorry for the late reply, this may actually be something I can look into to change
The GDI, GLA, ETC have resupply stations that do not run out. Many mods also offer additional supply options. Play the vanilla campaign to fully understand supply. Zero Hour has more options. Check forums like reddit and look at their links to C&C fan and play sites. If supply is your only issue you can also get a CHEAT TOOL on sites like CHEAT HAPPENS. You can also do something better, and learn how to do basic modding. Happy gaming. Seek and you shall fine!
Are you planning to re-texture vehicles and structures?
Also, are you going to balance the units slightly? Like, reduce sit places in Humvee, make Ambulance not to heal vehicles or buff Paladin tank?
These are some interesting ideas I will definitely consider. As for balance, additionally I notice the Nuclear Missile is arguably the worst superweapon as it often fails to destroy buildings and has the longest timer. Should I buff the nuke?
YES! Nuke should at least be able to destroy GLA buildings with hole.
Agree, man. It would be useless for the structures...
