Is is just me, or is is really quiet around here....? :|

Anyway, I've got a few questions that I needed answering while the site was down:

1. How do I make it raining on a map?

2. Where can I get the XCC Editor that can edit ZH CSF files (NOT from the offcial site, I can't find it :dead: )

3. If anyone could point me to Alpha channel PSP tuturials, I'd be gratefull

Hmm.... I seem to have forgotten all the others... I'll edit the topic when I remember.

i have the same question too but i ampretty sure you cant make it rainy but you can make it snowy, if it helps any you go to edit>mapsettings and you can choose time and what type of weather you want

There is a tutorial on this site for putting weather effects into maps. Both rain and snow are there.

To get the XCC String Editor just download XCC Utilities. Then after unzipping run XCC Mixer and then go to Launch->XCC String Table Editor->Open and open your generals.csf file from there. (You have to extract it from EnglishZH.big first though, unlike with vanilla Generals)

PSP can't do Alpha channels AFAIK.

Ah, thanks!

OK, I'm just going to keep using this thread for all of my "mini questions".

1. Is the sound of rain & the lightning scripted in the WB?

2. I can't seem to get a flag to animate. I've animated other parts of the building, but the animation on the flag just won't export! :tard: I've used a flat plane (with 2-sided checked), I've used a box... it's like the game KNOWS I'm trying to animate a flag! Help! lol :|

Another question: why is the Insert butten greyed out in the XCC string editor?

It was being annoying with my flag too.... Is it not animating at all, or is it getting halfway through the animations and giving up? (which is what it was doing to me )

[EvilViking]

I fixed it. I just imported the flag from the USA barracks, textured it, and animated it.. it worked fine. :rockbrow: Screwy gamepack..... :tard:

-insert button greyed out-

Try clicking on any one of the tags to highlight it, then see if the Insert button comes up. I've had to do that before, its a wierd bug thing.

I know the bug, but I was lucky enough to find out what causes it. And that is an entry without a name. If you make a CSF entry and you don't type in the name, the next time you load the editor you won't be able to insert anything. I solved it by getting another CSF editor (can't remember which) and deleting the empty entry with it. But you might also be able to nail the entry with the list on the left. WIth any luck, there's a nameless entry in the list, shows the untitled entry when you select it.
