Re: Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour Boss General

When I tried to play this faction in the challenges mode it brought me back to the intro screen but none of the buttons appeared. But I guess you're right.

Cant say that when the LAST CHALLENGE MODE GENERAL is Leang;

The question was for unlocking it to play as, as since it is already there to play against

Guys, if anyone is still looking for a way to play as leang in the challenge mode, you have to do all of what you need to do to enable to play her in skirmish, and use finalbig for the INIZH.big file in your game dir, Find Data\INI\ChallengeMode.ini in finalbig inside of inizh, and go all the way to the bottom below GeneralPersona9, where it says "StartsEnabled" put 'yes', where it has "PlayerTemplate" set it as a playertemplate of another general, (in my case i decided to use "FactionChinaNukeGeneral") as the default playertemplate icon is blank, and set where it says "Campaign" to which of the other generals campaign settings (again, in my case, i put "CHALLENGE_8")

if you want to get extra involved, you can go to Data\INI\Campaign.ini in finalbig and make your own challenge campaign.

Very, very minor edit; you *have* to make your own challenge campaign for it to actually work, i thought i didnt, but eh

scrap the "change the playertemplate part" as that also sets the general, so uh, setting it to yes and adding the new challenge campaign will allow you to play as her, but the icon on the map is invisible, but it is above the nuke general icon a little bit, once you hover over it, youll find it though.

In a very roundabout way, the person was somewhat correct, there is no icon for her, nor a default, but hidden missionset, but atleast its possible, unlike ironside or mohmar, where there is no faction at all ingame, just placeholders.

To allow leang to be played as someone to fight as in challenge mode:

You need: finalBIG or some other .big editor

a text editor

(the game ofc)

In your zero hour folder in origin games (or where your origin games library is stored), find INIZH.big file; 

make a backup of this file somewheres else (maybe in the origingames folder?)

open the original up in finalbig (or your big editor)

Go to Data\INI\ChallengeMode.ini and scroll to the bottom where it has "GeneralPersona9"

now where it has "StartsEnabled = no" change that to "StartsEnabled = yes" (change the no to a yes), now if you were just wanting to play her in skirmish, here is where you would stop, but since we want to play as her in challenge mode, this is not;

Where it says "Campaign = unimplemented" change that to "Campaign = CHALLENGE_9" This is where it is getting slightly unofficial; the devs never set a official playorder for Leang's challengemode, as it was just a boss general for them.

Find Data\INI\Campaign.ini

open it.

Go down to where it has the "Campaign CHALLENGE_8" block as you notice, there is no CHALLENGE_9 (yet), as we have to put that one in place.

Copy that whole block 

and paste it right below it

on this new, pasted challenge mission list, change the first two lines to have CHALLENGE_9 instead of 8

From this point on, you can technically play as her ingame as an option, but note that we literally just used the same missionorder as the demo general, and if you want to add a touch of flavor and mix it up (and remove the humor of having leang vs leang as the last mission) you can change them.

At this point its all done, but to note, there is no "icon" or such for leang, so you have to mouse search for her (she is slightly above tao though)
