Managed to squeeze in a record 16 skirmish players into the player list.

Extract the map to F:\My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\Maps, and load in worldbuilder. Ignore errors about too many players, blah blah...

Map file

Once you load it up, you can rename them as anything you want. Just DONT click remove player, or you'll never get it back. The button becomes unusable after too many players are added in.

Hehe that's a magnificent piece of work there you know

[Kuja]

Thanks! Trying now to squeeze in at least a GLABossGeneral ai folder...

[The_Hunter]

w00t now we can get extra sides in our mods with working AI without removing ai for normal sides

[CodeCat]

So how did you do it?

[Kuja]

I dont think it fully works. Deezire posted this on sleipnir.

"I dont get the big deal? I can add players to my hearts content with my dev version of WB, the real issue is that the AI engine wont use them even if they are scripted.

When I loaded ZH's SkirmishScripts.scb file into my WB it even had the FactionBossGeneral player already in there yet the game wouldnt use it... "

Edit : Nevermind, mithril just got FactionChinaBoss working.

Edit2 : And FactionUSABoss working too

[DeeZire]

^ But its still not guranteed - unless you plan to modify every single map that ships with the game, the 'new' AI sides wont play on them.

[Kuja]

Well no, the maps work without modifications. Since the map he played on, he didnt modify. Neither did I have to do that. Everything works fine and dandy.

[Silent_Killa]

Great news

Think I'm gonna have to download Dev's version of WB though... wan't to learn how to do it myself

[Capt_Pickles]

Excellent work!... This will be very helpful
