Oblivion165

Hi there, my friends and I are trying to play this mod I made but one of my friends red alert 3 refuses to use the mod. The mod is installed on his computer at: %MyDocuments%\Red Alert 3\Mods\ObEdition\ObEdition.big %MyDocuments%\Red Alert 3\Mods\ObEdition\ObEdition_1.0.skudef Here is the mod: www.pokemonca.net/pub/Red%20Alert%203%20-%20Oblivions%20Edition%201.3.zip What happens is this: 1. He launches red alert 3 from steam with the command line option "-ui" 2. Hit's "Game Browser" 3. Mods Tab ~ Double clicks ObsEdition and red alert 3 lauches up The problem is that red alert 3 is launching into the stock version, none of the mod changes are taking effect. They work perfectly with me and my other friend but no go for him. If he plays a skirmish under my mod, it even saves the replay as [obe]Replay but like i said, its not actually in my mod. Things I have tried: 1. Verifying game cache 2. Command lining the game through steam like so: "-applaunch 17480 -win -modConfig "C:\Documents and Settings\[hisusername]\My Documents\Red Alert 3\Mods\ObEdition\ObEdition_1.0.skudef" and yes the game starts up in windowed mode so i know its getting the command line correctly 3. short path to the mod file 4. making a mod launcher that sets the working folder to the installed steam folder 5. copying the mod to the root directory and not including the full path 6. used a par file to verify the mod files were the same as mine Yikes, what a mess. My system: Windows 7 x64 Professional Wolfdale Core 2 Duo 3.16ghz GeForce GTX 470 4gb Ram Friends system that also runs it: Windows 7 x86 GeForce GTX 460 3gb Ram Friends system that wont run it: Windows XP AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 3gb Ram GeForce 9400GT When looking in google, the only instances I can find about this are when people are using pirated copies but we all 3 own the steam version. I also posted this in the official red alert 3 modding forums but no help there.

When i double-click the string key it will allow me to type in the text, but once i click off of it or hit enter it goes back to its "-" default. How would i fix this, or get around it to display my new string?

So far as of yet i havent found a modding forum for Generals. Im from the renegade community (RenegadeForums.com), and im looking for something similar for generals. Ive learned most things for generals by just browsing the ini's. I use project raptor and am editing it further. The two questions i have are: 1. Where are the labels stored for objects and menu items. (String Names, such as "Pathfinder") 2. Why can i not restrict GLA and China to the sciences. Im making it so that the super weapons are harder to get. Within the first 5 minutes of the game everyone already has their's up. So i made the price tag 50,000 and i have USA restricted to Rank 5. So you cant build a superweapon until you are at least that rank. However, when i put the same rank restriction on GLA or China, the game does it's crash sequence. Hope to hear from somebody. Thanks and hello.
