Well I have not a single clue how to get to my control center for C&C 3 and I don't have a cd to go with this game, how can I get to the control center?

btw: can't I use Crosus to launch mods without a control center, I tried launching my mod from there but nothing happened.

create a shortcut to the CnC3.exe, then open properties -> target, and add -ui.

like this:

"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Command & Conquer 3\CNC3.exe" -ui

Oh okay I kept doing it like this ""C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Command & Conquer 3\CNC3.exe-ui"

thank you

I forgot to ask how do you get your mod to show up in worldbuilder?

I have for my mod files: Art/AS/all of the model information
Mods/tiberiumsecrets/data/mod.xml and ASHunter.xml I just want to see what the specular map will look like using worldbuilder.

Not in the skudef, in the CNC3_WB_1.0.cfg, it is in the CnC3 installation folder.

The name of the model you've included doesn't match the name you set in "Model=", they have to be identical.

Are you sure that your mod compiled properly?

Note that you will require the newest Worldbuilder. The first release WB isn't capable of loading mods.

hmmm...what is the new version?
I'm not sure what mine is.

Also is there something that is supposed to be in the .big file because all there is a shaderwritingexample.fx file.

You can download the latest Worldbuilder here.

If there's only shaderwritingexample.fx or any other file that is merely copied but not compiled that means your mod didn't compile properly, most likely due to a syntax error.
If you can't find the error, edit your BuildMod batch and change the first occurrence of /gui:false to /gui:true. This will give you an error report if the compiler finds any invalid code in your mod.
