INSTALLATION:
1) Requirements
------------
WARNING: THIS INSTALLATION REPLACES SOME OF YOUR FILES! BACKUP YOUR GAME FOLDER OR ELSE YOU NEED TO REINSTALL ZH IF YOU
WANT TO UNINSTALL THIS MOD.
IMPORTANT: This is a full release, no previous version of OFS should be installed.
This install should overwrite all files from the previous release, but just to be safe, make sure all OFS files from Beta01
are removed before installing Beta02.
Requirements:
A clean C&C Generals Zero Hour installation Patched to 1.4
What does clean mean? - No other mods. To be sure your ZH folder folder
should not have an "Art" subfolder and in "Data" there should be no "INI" folder.
And no file with the ending ".big" that does not belong to default C&C:Generals ZH may be there.
If you want to keep your Zero Hour folder clean, you can make a copy and install the mod
there. You can have multiple ZH's with different mods, I do this with all mods.
2) Add the mod files
---------------------
Add all files from the archive into your Zero Hour folder (default or copied one).
It should look like this:
../Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour/!OFS_INI.big
../Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour/!OFS_ART.big
(and all other bigs)
It's the correct folder when default .bigs and generals.exe are there.
3) Setup the UI files
---------------------
16:9 widescreen UI is enabled by default.
To enable 4:3 UI:
-) Remove the !OFS_WindowWide.big file
-) Rename !OFS_Window43.big.OFF to !OFS_Window43.big
4) Setup the language files
------------------------------
English language is enabled by default.
To enable German language, remove the !OFS_English.big and add !OFS_German.big to the game folder.
--
NOTE: For other language versions see the Extra section at the bottom of this file.
--
5) Optional: Install the Map-Pack
---------------------------------
Extract the content of the MapPack archive into your "...\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\Maps"
folder.
6) Optional: HD Controlbar mod
------------------------------
We recommend that you install the HD Controlbar mod from here (http://www.gentool.net/download/controlbar/) to get the
default icons and UI textures to match with the higher res Icons in OFS.
7) Activate OFS
--------------
No activation required in this version
8) Run OFS
-----------
Run 1 of the START bats. They will start in 1280x1024 or 1920x1080 resolution. If you have another resolution copy one of
the bats and edit it.
Change the -xres and -yres arguments to your resolution, you can also add
-win (starts the game windowed)
-quickstart
-noshellmap
You can also just create a shortcut to generals.exe and put the commandline arguments there and set up the correct
resolution in Options.ini in your Zero Hour Data folder.
###############
EXTRA: Setting up a different language (ONLY DO THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ENGLISH OR GERMAN VERSION OF THE GAME)
If you have a different language version of the game than English or German (which means you will get "MISSING:xxx" texts
ingame and won't hear any new unit voices) but still want to have English (or German) texts/speech, then you'll have to
manually edit the .big files:
Get FinalBIG (or some other .big editor), extract the files from !OFS_English.big (or German) to a temporary folder and
rename all 'English' (or German' folders to your language version.
You then need to pack the files back into a new .big file and put it in your game folder.
You might need to adjust the Activate/Deactive .bat files to use the correct filenames.
those anti-air from gla are a bit too powerful, if i play with usa airforce my helicopters are shot down one after another.

Um destroy them first then attack?
i'd say anti-air is somewhat too potent in OPF as a whole, most often there is no point to use helis if there's at least 1 AA in enemy group.
HALLA LUYA

Does this work with The First Decade collection? Especially with the Origin version? I've loaded the fixed launchers already... and it's not working...
I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't have the origin or first decade version, so I can't test it myself. The only thing I can tell you is that it should work like any other ZH mod once it is activated, or if you use the easy-install version.
I have both copies of ZH on the First Decade and Origin. The First Decade is the exact same as the original CD-ROM version of ZH. Origin is a bitch because of how EA stacked both games into the same directory. It should go Generals Zero Hour (Which is the base folder) that then breaks off into two separate folders for Generals and Zero Hour. Both auto-installers tend to place files there instead of the separating files.
[Or I remember. It's been too long]
Does the ultimate collection further mess this up? I've tried the separated directory with and without easy install and with and without administrator access. The easy install one seemed more successful but when I run the start.bat it just kinda idles. Windows task manager shows it started both C&C generals, don't know if that little tidbit helps.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
After installing the mod, try running the game normally (not via the .bat). The .bat only adds parameters for the resolution
That worked thanks! Does a 7 AI hard army work for you? It causes crashes for me.
this is not a .zip file?!!
how can I install it
do you need to install the map pack when you install easy install firestorm
The map pack is seperate, yes
When Multi play game Mismatches
Tried but keeps getting "serious error". After some work around I got it working but no new units or buildings.I have tried many things to get this to work and nothing. I use the origins. I need help because I can't find any solutions at this point.
Is there another file i can download it? the file that downloads wont install to my game and wont work
who want to play online
the nuclear gen doesnt work with challenge mode

I'm a complete noob to these .bat things. How do I edit it so that the resolution is 1024 x 768? I'm asking since I right-clicked the .bat file and didn't see any option to edit it from there, as such i'm humbly asking how one can edit it to accept the resolution i'm wanting. I'd appreciate your help in advance, really. :)
Nvm, found out how later on I suppose. :/

Very creative. Keep it up!!
operation firestorm is really a good mod one of the best but it will be just awasome if you will make challange mod and add new generals with new units and make ai a bit harder,thank you for your hard work and thanks for not giving up on this mod, if you will make that what i said it would be N1, one more time thanks for you job and keep it up, i will be allways chekking for new mods and updates thanks :) (sorry for my eng) :)
make AI harder they are too easy to defeat
This mod is very nice, I played several solo games and got defeated, but I liked the new units and the new power it adds to the Zero Hour.
I recorded this scene from my last game ...
