I've asked Olaf over at XCC for an update to XCC mixer so the one included with that is updated to support Zero Hour, but he hasn't bought it yet. I'd suggest you go over to the XCC site and post on his forum about this. Get as many other people as possible to do the same, and we may get one sooner.

I would make one, but I haven't the CSF-File format ! And "Try & Error" is a long way to go !

So, if anyone has the Format Description, please post it here !

You could temporarily use the one integrated into TibEd 2 to change existing strings (you have to extract the Generals.csf again from the existing mod .big). But it can't add strings yet.

Yeah that's the problem, we can't add new strings.

We have a string editor which is functioning and knows the whole file format !

I've reworked 99.99% of the format and the 0.01% isn't used right now !

Know that EA have made big mistakes in the format and I know why this is happening, but that's EA case to resolve their problems !

I'll do some tests and will post it here after I released the editor to "public" state ! I think, I'll release it tonight !

The editor is free for personal use, commercial use have to license the software !

Which one ?

The_Blind_One · 10-12-2003, 12:25 PM

I dont know its called CSF editor and i dont remember where i got it from.

But i had it since the original

It works perfectly.

P.S.

If you really need it i can send it to you or put it up for download somewhere.

It's called CSF-Editor and it's made by Scorpio9a ! It doesn't function with strings bigger than 255 characters and it does not made a good CSF-file format ! Even like EA's own CSF-Editor do some errors !

Look at the string "ACADEMY:BuildAHero" and see what you've got:

"Jarmen Kell, Col. Burton and Black L" ! But that's not the whole string !!!

It's must look like that:

"Jarmen Kell, Col. Burton and Black Lotus can be invaluable to your strategy. These heroes can turn the tide of a battle and are invisible to the enemy. To locate your hero on the radar, look for the cross hair icon. Though you can only build one at a time don't underestimate their importance"

A small difference or ? :/

But I'll post the first full working CSF-Editor for Zero Hour tonight !

Maybe in a few minutes !
