Check out some of my units from my own mod :) You can watch the first few mins to see one of the units then skip to 6:20 for many of my other units.

@@N0stalgia01 Thanks :)
TNX FOR THE INFO I WONDER HOW TO MODIFY SETTINGS NOW I CAN ENJOY SHOCKWAVE CHAOS MOD SOOO DIFFICULT EVEN USING TRAINER ..
I figured it out!! Thank you so much Jundiyy! It took me so long before I asked anyone cause I was trying to figure it out haha I feel so dumb that it was such an easy fix 😂. Again thank you so very much!
lol no problem :) we all feel that way when we are new to something.
@@Jundiyy indeed haha😂
@@zorah1014 :)
woooow what a intersting introooo!
jalal rd thank you :)
Thx for the video, I always wanted to try modding this game
A. Attasyr np :) I would have done more but these videos take a looooong time to make, hope I get round to do doing more.
Jundiyy, Jundiyy, Jundiyy, you have now gotten into what a niche crowd is really looking for.
Leikeze thanks Leikeze but don’t worry I always try to upload 2 videos the days I upload something ‘different’. Today I upload a really close game between Dominator and Hawky a few hours ago and now this. Hope that suffices?
It suffices that you are uploading. ;P
Leikeze thank you :)
Works! thanks
Np
Can you tell how it works? Because his explanation is all over the place
General Jundiyy, How can I make an effect of the Particle Cannon, When it shoots it has a Fire Storm
Tysm I figured out how i could mod but somehow i had a problem can u switch battle master's gun with inferno cannon's gun?
Heya I did what ya did but it gives me a serious error
plz help
i edited the range of iskandar missle in rise of the reds in weapon file but in actual game it still the same why??
Hi there, can you help me remove the restrictions (aka science) for specific unit or building that was locked by promotion? I cannot remove the science thing of the Tesla Coil upgrade in Rise of the Reds mod
Kindly message me on Discord and I'll send the INI file of ROTR
I have been wondering how to make better bullet tracers. How do I do that
can u quiet the game audio so its easier to hear what you're saying?
Dude i saw this image of a tank in a mod called God emperor and trying to find a way to find and add that unit to a general without having to download an entire mod
Hello mate. I hope you'll see this. I need help. I added a new unit to stealth general. I added a scorpion but I cant make the AI produce the unit. Do you know what should I do?
i dont know if you are still alive but, I cannot edit command and conquer now idk why but it says that the folder of finalbig is set to read only, idk anything to do cause I try to change it to not read-only but it still forces or automatically set to read-only on its own.
Hi, please make a detailed explanation of the map.ini process. I want to play with my friend using modified data without having a mismatch. We are thousands of miles apart and we use Hamachi to access LAN network to be able to play.
Hello, map.ini files will cause a mm if 1) it's the first time they are transferred 2) you play a map that has map.ini then play vs someone who didn't play that map.
The simplest fix is to restart the game.
Just make sure everyone has the same before playing, if a map transfer has to be done, then ask the player to whom it was transferred, to restart their game.
As long as all players keep using the same map.ini (they all play map 1 then they all play map 2 etc.) you should be safe. If a problem occurs, just restart.
I would like to know how to edit maps, my FinalBIG just scrambles the second I open up the Maps.big and then almost crashes every 2 seconds
how do i edit challenge mode money stats, please guide me.
Hey, I know this is waaay after this video and all, but I was wondering if you know how to change the units size?
I'm still really confused on how to do that.
Hello,
Yes very easy, go into the object, add the following code 'Scale 0.80' or whatever number you wish, if it's below one, the unit will become smaller and if it's above one, the unit will become bigger. Add the code in the design parameters, I usually add above/below the weapon area or the cost/time.
and all you need is map.ini with the values you need to move to the map folder? Always dreamed of driving a POWTrack)
Thank you brother for this!Btw how do i change the SPEED of a unit?
Go to the unit code (INI/Object/(Find the army)) and then find the locomotor for that unit.
Then open the Locomotor.ini and find the locomotor that you found in the unit code. Over here change the 'Speed' to whatever you like.
@@Jundiyy thanks bro
@@RafaDiablo np
I want to change the ini but I play with mods. I like to play Contra, Operation Firestorm, Shockwave Chaos. Is the process different?
Hello, not really. Same stuff, the only difference could be where they have placed certain things. Otherwise it should be the same.
@@Jundiyy I don't understand this at all. I cant get past the part after I extract all. Do I need to make new folder?
@@dgamezonu2693 extract the files to any folder, then edit as normal. Save and put them back into the big file. If you prefer not to put them into the big file but rather place them in the ZH folder then the difference here would be, you might have to place the file into a different directory if the mod has it in a different directory.
game sound is too high I cant hear what you're saying
SkyMix_RMT oh no, thanks for letting me know, didn’t notice. New headset and mic is a bit different so have to remember to keep it close. Thankfully it wasn’t the main thing, rather just explaining what was modified per unit.
plz help
i edited the range of iskandar missle in rise of the reds in weapon file but in actual game it still the same why??
Hey bro, do you know how to change the camera height in the network game?because it’s too Close
Jundy Do you know how to add tanks to the AirForce General? Like Crusader and Paladin?
Jaime Aguirre hello yes I do,
Go to the USA units, copy the full code for the crusader and paladin, paste it into the AirForce ini. Rename them slightly, Object bla bla bla (maybe AirForceVehicleCrusaderTank).
Rename the tank name as well to whatever you want (design parameters). This part is not so important.
I would take out the SCIENCE for paladin tank in the prerequisites - so it’s easier to get).
CHANGE the prerequisites to AirForce war factory or nothing.
Ok second part, go to commandbutton ini and copy and paste the crusader and paladin commandbuttons into the same file, just rename them to the new names you made above.
Third thing, go to commandset ini and add in the 2 new tanks into the Air Force war factory. Using the new names you made of course.
I think that’s it (just from top of my head).
@@Jundiyy I found out lol, One last thing, how do you include the composite Armor upgrade to the air force general
You might have already found the answer, but if not go to the Airf Strat Centre or War Factory or wherever you wish to add the upgrade to and add it in
??? = Command_UpgradeAmericaCompositeArmor (??? is any number you choose)
Then go to the unit you wish to grant the upgrade to and add it in it's code (If you copied the full code for Paladin and Crusader, they will already have the code with them).
@@Jundiyy one very last thing! Do you know where to edit the campaign?
Jaime Aguirre just extract the maps from the map.ini and edit how you wish then insert them again.
How can I increase the challenge mode starting money?
How can I change the Napalm Color?
You can try the ParticleSystem.ini file or directly change the texture (Pred from Contra said this is a better way).
Hi, i'm playing reborn v4 mod with friends and we just need to rename our fav. general army name with our names without "missing" .. is that possible?
no need to change any weapon .. just the name
tnx
Hi, perhaps some can help me. I've got a problem with my final big editor. Its about to reassign the maps for Zero Hour. Instead of coyping the hole maps folder into a new big file it only shows two entries for Destruction station. Hoped to bypass this by using my notebook instead the same error. I want to add all map folders of Zero Hour Maps including the edited one.
Hello, do you mean only 2 files were shown? That is how FinalBig works, it will show the files that are in the folder.
how to change range of attack of a unit
Range of any weapon is in the weapons.ini
If you don't know the weapon name, go to the unit code itself (found in the Object folder, then the army it belongs to, such as Emperor will be found in TankGeneral.ini).
ok can u tell me how to mod buildings like power plants and others i ned to nom a power plant how to do that
Hello, it's the same as modding units. If you open up a power plant ini file, you will see in the design parameters the code for power. Use that in the new building you use.
If you want to combine buildings or edit, then you need to use Show/Hide SubObject.
I need help. How do you add your own command set for your new faction?
Hello, you have to make it in commandset.ini find any other faction commandset and copy/paste it then change it.
Hi.. basically I just want to increase the attack range for the Rangers.. pls help!! Thanks
The Ranger has 2 weapons, I presume you mean the first weapon. Go to weapon.ini and find the 'RangerAdvancedCombatRifle' (use ctrl + F to find it quicker), now find 'AttackRange' and increase it to whatever you like.
@@Jundiyy Yes I already did that, but it doesn't seem to make a difference in the game on challenge mode.. unless I'm doing it wrong? I edited from the finalbig tool directly and saved.. pls let me know if that's not how it should be done.. btw I'm playing the shockwave version
@@smoothcriminal7232 did you extract the Shockwave files or the ZH files? You must do the Shockwave files if you are playing Shockwave, and then place the file in the right directory unless you save it in FinalBig instead. If you are extracting the files like I show you in the video, then you need to place the Shockwave ones in the right folder, they have different folders for their mod. If that doesn't work, give me a step by step on what you did.
@@Jundiyy I notice, that the shockwave file and ZH are both in the same directory. The shockwave mod came with an instal.exe which instructs to install the game in the zh folder
there is a problem I really dont understand . why all armies INI files (LaserGeneral.INI for example) takes too much time to open in BIG Editor ?
Maybe extract them instead? Make a folder somewhere then go to edit > extract/extract all and choose the folder. Then use notepad or another program to open them such as Notepad ++
@@Jundiyy I know that solution . but what I don't really understand that sometimes in some windows versions they open really fast . even the particle system which is the largest . is it something wrong with the BIg Editor version ?
@@Alexandermedo1 Erm I don't know sorry. Perhaps it's the editor, perhaps it's the computer or it could just be the file. Them simple files open fast for me.
i want to add a new unit but when i followed the tutorial, the game still crashes, is there something missing? I added the vehicle's ini file and its Weapons and Locomotion stuff in Weapons.ini and Locomotion.ini respectively.
None of my changes are showing up in game :(
Hello,
Where are you placing your files? The directory.
They should go in to Data > INI > Here
Or
Data > INI > Object > Here
Do you have a discord I can join for help on this stuff?
Fayande hello, yes I do, username is Jundiyy and discord number is 3181.
Although messaging here and there will probably get you the same response.
windows 10 eror finalbig :(
fix final big update win 10 ?
Hmmm I haven't come across this, I know others that are on win 10 and they don't have a problem. Have you tried running as admin?
Hey is there a tutorial to show how to import every file you need from one mod to another.
My goal is to create for my private use a mod with all the cool units i like.
You would be of great help thanks already
Hello, I don't know of any but it will require a lot of work, you'd be lucky if you could just import the files and it worked just fine. You would need to find each unit you want, then copy the ini file over for it, then check which ini files are connected to that main one (e.g. weapon, OCL, Locomotor and so on) and copy these over as well.
@@Jundiyy haha made the same for Dawn of Soulstorm over the past days, that work is just so damn fiddely
@@daviddeling8060 lol yep.
I wanna modify contra 009. Any idea on how to do it?
Hello, same as normal, use FinalBig to open the Contra files and edit just like you would edit ZH.
@@Jundiyy yeah i found it. Thanks for the reply
@@ΜαρινοςΒασιλειου-ξ1η np, sorry for the delay, was away from youtube for a while, when I came back, I had too many messages to go through. Have fun with some insane Contra edits :)

Cole Caragan hello,

ok it work but those inside can't fire their weapon
Hello Jundiyy can you help me? i want to mod the system maps,how i can do that?
Yuri Costa hi there. Yes, once you open FinalBig, you need to open a file called MapZH (found in main Zero Hour folder - where it was installed).
Once you open this file you will see many files names Maps\.........
You need to extract all files relating to the map (click the file, edit extract).
Once extracted, you can just open it in world builder.
To play it, you need to make a new folder and name it the exact same name as the file name and put all files in there. Put this folder in yours maps folder (in your documents).
@@Jundiyy thank you very much for replying,but i think im doing something wrong,please note that is the first time im trying to mod hahaha but ok. i extracted the map i wanted from the game and put some things in,then i made a new folder with the same name as the file and put in my Maps folder in the documents,but still dont show up. what im missing? Oh one question the files i need to put in the folder ar the TGA file and the Map file?
one more thing, the map will appear in unofficial maps or in the officials?Sorry for keep bothering you haha
Yuri Costa no problem, ask :) I’m not a great modder myself, I spent a few months on it at most, maybe an hour or more here and there, not daily.
But modding (especially at the start), takes hours just to create a single unit. I didn’t have the time so stopped.
Anyway, all the files that are connected to the map, all need to be in one folder. Some maps may have 2,3,4 files, so all need to go in one folder.
I think I know what you need to do. Go to Edit (in world builder of course) and then map settings and delete the map name...and save of course.
Only official maps can have that there (official maps that go in the official map folder I mean, your map will go in unofficial list). If you want to make your map appear in the official list, after editing, you need to open FinalBig and then open the .big file for maps and drag and drop your map into it.
@@Jundiyy Thank you man i did it !! haha thank you very much,but now a final question,i added some oil derricks near to everybase on the ma,but the AI go just for 1 how can i change their priority?
I made this mod, It adds an AI for the Boss General in Skirmish. www.moddb.com/mods/ai-boss-general-ai-mod-cc-generals-zero-hour
ZirconWolf thank you, I already have it lol :) look at these 2 video, ruclips.net/video/XUEWQzmf9E0/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/iklrfXSV3JM/видео.html
My mod gives the Boss General an AI, so you could fight her in skirmish. I saw both videos ,but you didn't fight her, you played as her. :)😆 lol
ZirconWolf ah right lol, yes true.
