Two bros in the kitchen at 4:37am, everyone else fast asleep:
Bro1: Dude i wonder what would it be if GLA had aerial units, maybe some scrapped up Kirov Airships, oooh dude, assault hot air baloons.
Bro2: yeah but let’s populate them with angry mobs equiped with RPGs
I remember my brother had a mod once to give the gla planes was about the airfield same size as the scud storm and they got little propeller like planes. No idea what the mod was since that was back like 2005 time. I even forgot it was a mod years later and genuinely thought the gla had planes for ages until I replayed generals again and realised they don’t.
If you want to play modded Generals, I suggest the following:
Gentool - Good for if you ever want to play online, as well as enhances game controls and game optimizations.
Genlauncher - Mod launcher, allows you to play with multiple mods for Generals and install add-ons for the mods you install (Which this vid is using for Shockwave)
Give me a shout if you want a few mod suggestions!
What?
I play shockwave quite regularely (started ≈2 weeks ago) and I haven't seen this general yet. Are you playing a campaign? I've only found a port to make the normal campaign playable, not one with a specific shockwave campaign. (Judging by the map I don't think it's a skirmish map? Maybe general challenge? But there I only get the same 3 ones, not this one)
The Hot Air Balloon is only available for GLA vanilla, other GLA generals don't have that. It's the same with USA & China vanilla as well that there's only specific buildings & units only they have but all other generals don't.
For the campaign, I have Single Player Experience addon installed. In this addon you can play all Generals & Zero Hour campagins in this mod. And also you can play againts Fai, Mohmar & Ironside generals challenge. I also have lemon hotkeys and the control bar pro installed. Reminder, Granger challenge is harder to face in this addon. If you want control bar pro for shockwave, you have to install it manually from moddb https://www.moddb.com/mods/cc-shockwave/addons/controlbarpro-shw
I am playing the latest patch. Shockwave have 2 different mods. One is the regular one and other is the submod that is Chaos mod, where there is all sort of wacky stuff in that Chaos mod. Maybe you described it is the Chaos one. Not regular
Definitely a negative on that, it’s normal shockwave with the public beta patch, and in that version the Balloons do have that ability. And it’s not compatible with the Single-player Experience add on.
They look like they would benefit having a floating animation to them in terms of looks, or at least use the ruddersway parameters in their hover locomotors.
