Great Idea!!!

[maverick91]

Ok,maybe i am borring with oppening new threads,but i need f***in help.

I saw someone posted a thread for Yuri's Revenge that says how to increase money production from Oil pumps,so i think it can be done also in GZH.
Oil pumps produce 200$ in every few seconds.How i can increase that value on 5000 - 10000 $???(for example)

Here's link to cncmaps.net http://cncmaps.net/index.php?showtopic=1685 This site has the INI file your looking for. Sometimes you can't get on the site so try it at different times of the day.

[maverick91]

Does that can be used in Campign???I downloaded map.ini,but i have one problem,i cant find where to put it.In my ZH folder ( D:/Program Files/Ea Games/Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour/) there is a folder Maps,but there is no map.ini,in Data folder is the same thing,i edited part for the Oil Derricks in INIZH.big file,but then the game won't even start.What to do?
I have installed ZH Reborn 1.4 mod,does this making problems.
In folder Maps there are subfolders BlackHawkDown,ConvoyProtection...,and ShellMapMD,i put map.ini there,but,nothing changes.please help

That INI file is for indavidual maps. Just place it in your map folder which is located in "My Documents\Command & Conquer Generals Data\Maps"

To modify the whole game you'll have to start with:

1) Opening up the INIZH.big file in your game directory. (You'll need a program called FinalBIG to open it: http://cncden.com/cncgen_utility_downloads.shtml It's about 3/4ths down the page)
2) Scroll down until you see the file "Data\INI\Object\CivilianBuilding" Extract that to this folder in your game directory: "Data\INI\Object" (Note: You may not have an "Object" folder in that "INI" folder, if not then just create one with that name.) Anything you do to this INI file will overide the original copy of it in the .big file.
3) Close FinalBIG
4) Open up the INI file. (It will open in a Notepad file.)
5) Press ctrl+F to open up the serch & type there "TechOilDerreck" & click on "Find Next"
6) Now serch "ENGINEERING Parameters"
7) Here you'll some familiar stuff that saw in my map.ini file. Edit it just as you did with my map.ini file.
8) Save it. All the maps will change to your settings except the fourth USA mission. If you noticed, those oil derreck give only $100 instead of $200. Obviosly, EA put their own INI file that does overide yours. If you want to change it:
8.1) Open the "MapsZH.big" file.
8.2) Extract the file called "Maps\MD_USA04\Map.ini" to the "Maps" folder in your game directory.
8.3) Close FinalBIB
8.4) Go to that folder in your game directory & create a folder called "MD_USA04"
8.5) Move the "Map.ini" file to the "MD_USA04" folder you just created.
8.6) Open up the INI file & scroll down to the bottum of the page where the oil derreck part is. Edit it accordenly & save.
9) To get rid of your mod, move or delete the INI file(s) that you placed in your game directory

I don't know anything about the mod you have, but that shouldn't affect it.

Better idea:

1) Opening up the INIZH.big file in your game directory. (You'll need a program called FinalBIG to open it: http://cncden.com/cncgen_utility_downloads.shtml It's about 3/4ths down the page)
2) Scroll down until you see the file "Data\INI\Object\CivilianBuilding" Extract that to this folder in your game directory: "Data\INI\Object" (Note: You may not have an "Object" folder in that "INI" folder, if not then just create one with that name.) Anything you do to this INI file will overide the original copy of it in the .big file.
3) Close FinalBIG
4) Open up the Techbuilding.ini file. (It will open in a Notepad file.)
5) Press ctrl+F to open up the serch & type there "TechOilDerreck" & click on "Find Next"
6) Now serch "ENGINEERING Parameters"
7) Find:
Behavior = AutoDepositUpdate ModuleTag_04
DepositTiming = 12000 ; in milliseconds
DepositAmount = 200 ; cash amount to deposit every Deposit Timings
InitialCaptureBonus = 1000 ;capture bonus only happens once
UpgradedBoost = UpgradeType:Upgrade_AmericaSupplyLines Boost:20
EndEdit the bolded areas.
8)Save the file.
9) Put it in (Zero Hour Directory)/Data/INI
Remove the ini file to uninstall the mod.

Thanks for all that,but it f***s me again.
I did just how you said but,again it is the same story.I tried it on 3rd China mission(i'm stuck here and can't go further,thats because i need some nice money hack),and oil derricks that i build produce 100$(****TTT!!!!!).

P.s. There is no TechOilDerrick od something about deposit timing and money in my TechBuildings.ini

[Rollerghost]

Zancloufer's instructions are almost exactly to the point. The only thing is that the oilderrick is in the file CivilianBuilding.ini, not Techbuilding.ini.

So, this is what you need to do:
1) Opening up the INIZH.big file in your game directory. (You'll need a program called FinalBIG to open it: http://cncden.com/cncgen_utility_downloads.shtml It's about 3/4ths down the page)
2) Scroll down until you see the file "Data\INI\Object\CivilianBuilding" Extract that to this folder in your game directory: "Data\INI\Object" (Note: You may not have an "Object" folder in that "INI" folder, if not then just create one with that name.) Anything you do to this INI file will overide the original copy of it in the .big file.
3) Close FinalBIG
4) Open up the CivilianBuilding.ini file. (It will open in a Notepad file.)
5) Press ctrl+F to open up the serch & type there "TechOilDerrick" & click on "Find Next"
6) Now serch "ENGINEERING Parameters"
7) Find:
Quote:
Behavior = AutoDepositUpdate ModuleTag_04
DepositTiming = 12000 ; in milliseconds
DepositAmount = 200 ; cash amount to deposit every Deposit Timings
InitialCaptureBonus = 1000 ;capture bonus only happens once
UpgradedBoost = UpgradeType:Upgrade_AmericaSupplyLines Boost:20
End

Edit the bolded areas.
8)Save the file.
9) Put it in (Zero Hour Directory)/Data/INI/Object
Remove the ini file to uninstall the mod.

[Zancloufer27]

Oh yeah, It's under Techbuilding.ini in C&C U, not vZH XD

[maverick91]

I did that,but nothing changes.
You wanna tell me that i MUST uninstall the mod???
To Me Myself:
Mod's full name in Zero Hour Reborn v1.4 Rise to Power

Go ahead & delete any INI files that you placed in your you "Data\INI" folder in your game directory. In other words, undo what we've said you to do. Then try the game to see if it will load properly. Now redo the steps above. But if you just want to get passed the third china mission, then follow these steps:
1) Go to your game directory & open up the "Maps" folder.
2) Create a folder there with this name: "MD_CHI03" (That's the name of the map.)
3) Download the attachment below & place it in the folder you just created. (This is the map.ini file that was made for the third China mission, I've added the oil derrick part to it. You can open up this INI file & edit it as you please. It's at the bottum of the page. This will overide the map.ini in the "MapsZH.big" file.)
4) Now play the mission from start. Don't load up a saved game that's on the 3rd China mission.
5) It should work, have fun.

The mod shouldn't effect it. But if you still can't load up the game after deleting any INI files that you've added, then I'd reccamend you unistall Zero Hour, delete its directory, & reistall. Try this INI file & if it loads properly, then you can go ahead & reinstall the mod.

[maverick91]

Without the mod, i don't have Maps folder in ZH dir.Where to find?
Now i uninstalled the whole game and i am going to hack it from a start :yummy:

Now i fell in one more problem: i have INIZH.big in two dir's one is in ZH dir,and second in ZH/Data/INI.I should open and extract from INIZH in Data/INI,right?

[Me Myself & Pi]

What do you mean your going to hack the game from start?

If you deleted the Zero Hour directory after uninstalling the game & reinastalled it, then you shouldn't have a copy of the INIZH.big in the Data\INI folder.

If you don't have a Maps folder in your directory, then just create one.

Now repeat my steps at the bottum of the first page of this thread.

[maverick91]

I meant that i will reinstall the game to have everything daefult,and to start editing it again.

[Me Myself & Pi]

I see.

Well let me know if you get the oil derrecks INI working on the 3rd china mission or if you run into any more errors.

[Zancloufer27]

why the **** are you editing a map.ini?!?! Edit the actual object ini, not the ****ing map ini.

[Me Myself & Pi]

Were editing the the map.ini for the 3rd china mission.
"if you just want to get passed the third china mission, then follow these steps:
1) Go to your game directory & open up the "Maps" folder.
2) Create a folder there with this name: "MD_CHI03" (That's the name of the map.)
3) Download the attachment below & place it in the folder you just created. (This is the map.ini file that was made for the third China mission, I've added the oil derrick part to it.

No, he wants to make oil give him more. It is too much trouble to change the missions, so you just change the global settings.
