I've got a problem with the Zero Hour -mod switch option ! I can't get it to work ! Can anybody explain me why ?

I'm trying:

"...\generals.exe" -mod PGA.big
"...\generals.exe" "-mod PGA.big"
"...\generals.exe" -mod "PGA.big"
"...\generals.exe" "-mod" PGA.big

Nothing of them working ! The BIG-File is in the root directory of Zero Hour ! Can someone help me please ?

-yres (specify y resolution)
-xres (specify x resolution)
-list (buildDDS.txt specified with -outdir)
-full (asset usage)
-dxt5 (DXT5 emulation)

Remember with the mod switch that ZH only requires some files, the rest must be located in the Generals user directory AFAIK.

How to load BIG-Files instead ? Where to post them and how to load these BIG-Files ?

Which is not where it should be. Put it in the Zero Hour equivalent of "My Documents/Command and Conquer Generals Data" (don't have ZH yet so don't know which one that is exactly, could be the same one) and it should work.

BTW, I hope you realise that the game (even ZH) will not use some of the files in the BIG. If you want it to read files such as GameData.ini, you'll have to just put the files where they belong instead of in a BIG file.

Nope, you can place the BIG-Files were you want !

I've finally found it:

"Zero Hour Directory\generals.exe" -mod "Full Big File Directory\xxx.big"

And I don't think the "Gamedata.ini" isn't working in BIG-Files ! Because why is this file in the INIZH.big ?

Maybe the INIZH.big is overwriting the "Gamedata.ini" in the other BIG files ?

Is there a pure CSF-Editor functioning with Zero Hour ?

Or, you can place them in My Documents and not have to use the full directory. At least, that is how i got it to work for a test.
