Shortcuts of General's Abilities - How to add more buttons?

AllGusto · 03-27-2003, 08:51 PM

I've been working on new itens to be purchased in the Generals Experience Menu, although I do not know how to add new Shortcut buttons for it (Like Artillery Barrage, A-10 Airstrike or Anthrax Bomb).

Any ideas? :/

I tried editing the .wnd files for that and changing the commandsets and stuff, but when I go to run Generals, after it shows the loading bar for the shellmap the shellmap doesn't load. It is just black with no sound. That is all I've done though. Might be missing something. I'll be interested to see if this is possible or not.

You cannot add more shortcuts or generals exp buttons. That part is hardcoded into the engine otherwise it would have no idea what the button you added is supposed to reference. The closest you can get is by re-enabling buttons 4 and 5 for the gla shortcuts as they just aren't coded into the wnd for that side. You can get that modded file in this thread.

Well, it was worth a try. Too bad though.
