Howdy!

Need a little help with the USA_CH53 code.
Im not a total noob when it comes to modding, i have made
3 small mods for personal use and have added existing
moddels to other factions.

The problem Im having is....
I added the USA_CH53 moddel to usa superweapon general but it doesnt show up
as build option.

I think its because, 1 of 2 reasons, one the cameo is either not properly
setup or maybe I didnt add it correctly to the proper ini's.

heres the code in txt format.

What I need is for someone to break it down for me and show which part goes
to which ini file.

Now like I said I added it to the usa superweapon general(on my personal mod that general is scaled down in power likfor instance no particle canon), it doesnt crash when I start the game but it doesnt show the usa_ch53 as a option either.

heres the ini's used to add it,
CommandButton.ini
CommandSet.ini
Hulk.ini
Locomotor.ini
ObjectCreationList.ini
SoundEffects.ini
SuperWeaponGeneral.ini
Upgrade.ini
Weapon.ini

dont know if i used to many ini's or not enough.
also is ther cameos for this or do i need to make some(can do and know how to add them).
GeoJ

edit: can you also check to see if i placed the files in the correct folders
here what i did
AVCH53.W3D
AVCH53_D1.W3D
AVCH53_D2.W3D
AVCH53_D3.W3D
AVCH53_D.W3D
AVCH53_M.W3D
I placed the above files in the art\w3d folder

AVCH53_C.dds
AVCH53_E.dds
AVCH53_F.dds
AVCH53_P.dds
muzzflsh_side.dds
The above files I placed in the art\textures folder

Edit the commandsets

[GeoJ]

10-4 will try again.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping you could break down the above code to there respective ini's so that I could compare if I had the proper code in the proper ini.
The above code comes in the usa_ch53.zip file in txt format, I had to guess as to which part of the code went where so im not entirely sure if I have them in the proper inis. Also I found that the sound part of the code refers to sound files that dont exist in the zip or by default in zero hour so im gonna have to use diffrent sound files(chinook most likely).

Once again thanks for the reply. I will try again. If you get a chance could you breakdown the code for me and explain which part goes in which ini so that I could compare to what ive already done?
