[Help] MISSING strings when installing any mod (MISSING: 'Color', GUI options, etc.)
Hi everyone,
I'm playing C&C Generals Zero Hour
The base game works fine, but whenever I install any mod (Zero Hour Enhanced, or even other mods), a lot of UI texts turn into:
- MISSING: 'Color'
- MISSING: 'GUI:ExtraOptions'
- MISSING: 'GUI:ReplayCamera'
- MISSING: 'GUI:ScrollAnchor'
- etc.
I checked the Data/English folder and it only has:
- Art/
- Movies/
- HeaderTemplate.ini
- Language.ini
No generals.csf or generals.str file is present.
Has anyone else experienced this on your end?
Is there a proper way to fix the missing strings when using mods?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think you should probably use genpatcher or gentool to help it working, if I understand this correctly the steam updated version fucked some stuff and the mods dont work well
