Could someone please explain to me how to add units to zero hour. Adding units in generals is easy to me but im not sur if i what all i have to edit in order add units to zero hour. Any help would be much appreciated.

It's the same thing except the unit data goes in different files. That's all. And if you can't make up your mind about in which INI to put your new unit, just make a new INI file and stick it in the Object folder - Generals will read all INI files in there, regardless of their name.

[KG115]

the thing is when i do try to put a new unit in its gives me an error saying somethin is wrong with the command set of the building that is suposed to build it

[CodeCat]

Strange. Post the exact error text and I'll see what I can make of it.

Well it looks like there is something wrong with your unit's commandbutton. Could you post the code for it?

[KG115]

Here ya go


CommandButton Command_ConstructAmericaTankCrusade
Command = UNIT_BUILD
Object = AmericaTankCrusade
TextLabel = CONTROLBAR:ConstructAmericaTankCrusade
ButtonImage = SACLeopard
ButtonBorderType = BUILD ; Identifier for the User as to what kind of button this is
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:ToolTipUSABuildCrusade
End

[CodeCat]

Hmm, that code doesn't look wrong to me... Stange...

Anyone else know what's going on here?

I dont kow whats wrong with it

But all i did do was copy the crusader info and change the name but i thought it would have worked

Those need each other (i think) so delete the upgrade module or remove the ;'s from the upgraded ArmorSet
