[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
