Adding unit descriptions and New generals powers

Lloyd_Randall247 · 10-07-2005, 08:42 AM

Hi, I'm gradually getting used to modding but have a few queries.

When i added a unit desciption (One of the TOOLTIPS) it shows small rectangles after the sentences, How do i remove these?

Also how do i add new generals powers? (For example, Chinese radation suits)

I hear this problem a lot when people edit CSFs. I recommend using strings instead.

If you are using CSFEditor, I think thats the name, that is the problem. I would suggest using the one in XCC.

What exactly are you trying to do? From what I'm thinking, such a feature would be better done as an upgrade than a General's Power.

Sorry, I meant that as two sepperate questions.
How do i add a unit upgrade and how do I add a generals power, Also one final question, How do you edit the AI so it will use your units?

wish I knew how also

hmmm...i dont think it is possible to purposly use your units...however, i have seen it done; as i have added a new dozer and mystically the AI built it!

Here is the link for the Zero Hour tutorial:

Adding new units to the AI is just a matter of modifying the teams the AI uses
