Hello, I am adding my own General and I have 1 final question.

When I put Campaign = CHALLENGE_7 for example in ChallengeMode.INI, the game crashes once I selected my General and started playing missions with him. What gives? The challnge is already there in Campaign.INI, I'm just re-using it.

The reason I named the topic Final thoughts is because, I am writing a smal guide explaining how to add your own general in Generals Challenge, and we wil get no more questions concerning the issue.

Ah very good, you may want to submit it to gendev when you're done..

speaking from experience, writing a tutorial does not eliminate questions on the issue. You just dont have to answer it every time.

I agree killakanz, but as you said, it will eliminate the easy questions we all grew tired of answering...

Anyways, I figured out my problem and now finishing up the tutorial.
Another important comment/question... We all know that you can't have GeneralPersonas 12, only 0-11. But at the start of ChallengeMode.INI, it says this:
"A general must exist for 0 through NUM_GENERALS, as defined in ChallengeGenerals.cpp.
; These are mapped to buttons representing geographical locations (see ChallengeMode.wnd)."

Is this file ChallengeGenerals.cpp hardcoded or what? It seems that is where you define the number of possible Generals.

I would imagine that it is hardcoded...

the .cpp file would be a c++ source file so I guess they added that comment before compiling the game
