Lately Ive been having problems modding ZH. I can mod generals vanilla just fine, its just that whenever I mod ZH, ill edit the ini code in order to change somethin like a particle effect or a unit model and nothing changes? I dont know why but its probably because Im so used to editing only one particular file when changeing a model. I made this jet in renx and instead of making an entirely new unit I decided to just replace the raptor model with it. So i go into americaair.ini and change the model name yet when I try to play in game its still the same model? Im not sure if im supposed to edit the individual generals files or what but ZH just completely screwed me up with modding and knowing what files affect other files. Any help would be appreicated.

which general did you play as? only normal USA was affected when you only edited the americaair.ini.

yea thats what I was trying to do, so i just played on normal usa but it still kept the same raptor model and didnt chage it to the one I made

Post the Art code.


"DefaultConditionState
Model = AVRaptor
HideSubObject = BurnerFX01 BurnerFX02
WeaponLaunchBone = PRIMARY WeaponA
End" ect.

Ahh okey I think I solved it, a couple files turned up missing so I reinstalled then redid the coding and put it in the appropriate folders so everything seems to be working now. Thanks all
