- This video shows you how to create a new multiplayer map for Command & Conquer Generals using the World Builder...
Sry that some of the "Serious Erros" I mentioned is not nicely explained...
I can do that if they allow me to upload longer vid... Anyway the steps are clear and making made easy...
Other things beginners make as a mistake is trying to free hand this without a video to show you first xD
Thanks for the video man, was incredibly helpful!
Thanks a lot.... I've been create a map for about a month and your video really helps
You are now my teacher !thank you very much you did a great job
thank u,
great help for beginner and well explained waypoint-stuff and other things like base areas etc.

You cannot choose where to save your map. At the end of your map creation, you will be asked to save but you are not allowed to save it at other place. Once you save it you can play it directly in the game without any installation. If you want to find your map or make another copy of it, go to "my documents" and find for "C & C generals data". There should be a folder named "saved games" or "maps" and your map is in there.
An easier way to apply texture to the map is by clicking the spill paint like icon then select the texture you want with your map and click the map the whole map will be covered by that texture.
thanks very much:i can now use the "world builder much better
A building can only be placed on a flat surface. NO slopes, obstacles, object is allowed in the construction area.
Other factor that disable you from placing a building is when you use the "Impassible Terrain" brush to high light the ground "red" ( meaning the area is not allowed to enter by anyone except aircrafts. ) or if your construction dozer cannot reach the construction area. Or maybe your command centre is outside the map (in the black area) , and your dozer could not enter the map?
The border is the "Orange Line". Resizing the border will not enlarge your play area because there is no "Ground" below the border. Try resizing the map (where I've already shown in the very start of the video) to make your play area bigger. Enter a larger number in both the column ("Horz (x) size" and "Vert (y) size") to see the difference in size. Hope this helps?
The reason why you cannot put the supply dock at the map's edge is because the AI computer player will need to build their supply centre around the supply dock. And with their "intelligence", anything blocking or obstrucking their building of supply centre will eventually make them "give up" building the supply centre. Therefore, without supply centre, you cannot build war factory or plane factory, and so on linked together.
Try to move the supply dock into a piece of flat land. Don't hide the supply dock between moutains or slopes or buildings or any obstacles. Give a lot of space for the suply dock itself. If it doesn't work. There must be something wrong with the waypoints/ base area/ starting points/ Add Skirmish Player/ scripts/.
Well. I use to make that mistake too. Please check if you have a Supply Dock, and make sure there isn't anything around it for a big area. Next, check the "Player List" to see if you have clicked the "Add Skirmish Player" button. Thirdly, check if you have put a "Script" on skirmish players, if have, remove all. I think that's all for all the AI problems I've ever encountered.
Yup. The icon is like a bucket. Use it to fill the entire area covering the same "paint".
No. You cannot name the waypoints anyway you like. This is because the program for AI is set to attack a base using the waypoints provided. If you change the waypoint's name. They will not attack a base because they don't know how to attack it. The center way point is used to attack with force (Strong attack). The flank is used as secondary (If Center Attack Fails). The backdoor is mostly used for infiltrating (Spy, Blacklotus, Colonel Burton...)
Did the enemy build the Power Plant? If yes, the enemy tries to build its base. After that did the enemy build his Barrack? If yes, the enemy is trying to attack you. Did the enemy build the Supply Centre after that? If yes, your game should have no problem since the Supply Centre is essential to build every other building. If the enemy did not build a single thing. This means there is something wrong with the "supply dock, area, waypoints, player list or script" Hope this helps...
To change your point of view. Press "CTRL" with "F". Just giving advise, you can find all the function you need on the panel just below the title of the window. There you can find a row of buttons such as: File | Edit | View | WIndow | Texture Sizing | Validation | Help. Anyway, sorry for the late reply. I was having an examination.
Thank you dude
Nice video!!
It worked! Thank you very much! :D
Hi...tnx for the tutorial...can you help me adjusting the default zoom/angle of the camera in the game?
press and hold the scrolwheel and move your mouse
Perhaps I wanted to make multiple stations, then what would I do?
Thank you! :)
If you wanted multiple stations. You can create more "Station" waypoints.
which orange border do you mean when you say it is at the under left corner?
Ok. To change your point of view. Press "CTRL" with "F". Just giving advise, you can find all the function you need on the panel just below the title of the window.

I know this is completely random Progmer Ooi, but I have been working on trains and they work and are garrisonable but I can't get them to stop at the stations I set up, please help.
Progmer Ooi, where should I save my maps? how should I install them so I can play them in the game ?
thanks in advance
Er... I didn't actually get what you mean. But the error message seems to say that your game software have crashed. Or something? maybe you should try reinstall the game or check if you have done some modings.
My point being you dont have to paint it using the brush! You can just fill it in an instant.esz
how do you get the orange border thing in the under left corner?
First of all you need waypoints to make the train move according to your waypoints provided. After creating the waypoints you will need to name them with "Railroad" so that the train know which is its path. If you want the train to stop, you need to name one of the waypoints with "Station". If you want the train to go through a tunnel name the waypoints entering the tunnel and exitting the tunnel with "Tunnel".
can you help me i got a bad point of view,i can see the map 3d bun i want to see it from the top like in the video but how i can change the point of view?(sorry for bad english)
Can u Resize the border ( i want a bigger play area)
This can be done in the scripting. Give the hospital a name like "HospitalPly1".
And for the scripting.
Unit "HospitalPly1" is transferred to the command of "Player0"
Where "Player0" is the 1st player in the player list. (Usually the HOST of the game.)
Where "Player1" is the 2nd player in the player list.
Where "Player2" is the 3rd player in the player list.
Where "Player7" is the 8th player in the player list.
Can u please help me I made a map and I worked very very hard on it but when I saved it doesnt appear on multiplayer. Only single player skirmish. Is it because its too big ?
Im also having problems saving. Plz help me. I made a map that i worked on for a very very very long time. When i saved it it got saved. But when i wanted to play on it, i only found it in the list of unofficial maps in the single player skirmish. However when i wanted to play it in multiplayer (direct connection) i didnt find it in the list of official and unofficial maps. Thanks alot.
GREAT MAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thanks A Lot)
Did the error occur before you create the map or after you create it?
thanks dude.. :)
Thanks that helped a lot
how come when I make a map the AI won't build anything I tried moving the supply dock and also they dont build power plants or bararcks.
Thanks a lot :) I subbed & liked :D
Hi, good video! - just wondering how can I set a neutral building (like a hospital) to be "pre-captured) - or Owned by a certain player as soon as the game starts?
Thanks
ok so I built my first map and the AI enemies didn't build a thing.... what did I do wrong?
Usefull. Thanks!
Well, you can label the waypoint with [waypoint name]Tunnel. Example:
Railroad123Tunnel
Theres actually 3 types of attack center flank and backdoor
Maybe they have mods in their game. Try removing the mods and it should work fine. Hope it helps?
I had a funny mistake with the world builder i didnt notie that the players starting point are in water so in game my command center was floating on water
every time i go to play it in game a error message closes generals, it says "serious error" anyone have a solution or the same problem?
@yugiohfreakful You mean before starting the Game or you already inside the game choosing a skirmish map?
i get an error with generals world builder he says I need to install on new
How do u make it birds eye view
@yugiohfreakful Oh, by the way. Tell me what is in the error message. Maybe I could figure it out.
why do the enemy doesn't attack me? the enemy doesn't even builld any troop unit. i've set all the perimeters, the center, flanks, and backdoors. but the enemy stil won't attack me. please i need some help here. thanks a lot
What building did they build?
Power Stations?
Barracks?
Supply Center?
they built power stations, supply center, barracks & few infantries
do i have to do some scripting to make it work?
You don't need to do scripting. All you need to do is:
- Setup [ Perimeters ( Inner/ Outer ), Attack Way Points ( Center/ Flanks/ Backdoors ) ]
- Setup "Add Skirmish Players". As mentioned in 9:40
- Have a "Supply Dock", and make sure they can build "Supply Center" and collect it.
- Inside the game, make sure they are on Different Team so they will attack you.
If they can build "Supply Center", then they can build everything.
You didn't mention "War Factory" ( The building for Tanks & Vehicles etc ).
The only bug that can cause this is, the AI don't have place to build it.
You can solve this by making a larger map. ( Larger than 100 x 100 ) So they have place to build it.
hmmm... i think i found the problem, i set the map size in 100 x 100.
i'll try to build the map on larger size
thanks for your help! :D
How do u make it
Hi, I see many people still playing Command & Conquer Generals?
Thumbs up if you are still playing Command & Conquer Generals... (Not Zero Hour)
How to increase the size of the border
Go to File > Resize Map. There should be a way to change the size of it.
@@Progmerz thanks !!
How about the impassable border ( deep blue one ) can't seem to move it
How to replace one unit for another?
Do it in scripts depends on the event though
There is a thing called "fill" you know?
guys i have a question: can i start a game with already built buildings and units? i need to make a custom map and build already built buildings and let them be mine without capturing them plz tell me or give me a link to help me plz
I don't know either, would really like to know
CT Center yes you can,,, buildings, superweapons, unitsfrom any faction,,, you can start with absolutely anything and everything
it ok I figured it out with own faction and self struct
CT Center how do you do it? I can't figure how.
Proto Gilgamesh 2nd you can't use skirmish teams, make your own team, add a nation, colour and name. Then add it to that group. You also have to make your own team so don't make a single skirmish team.
wow man....... I'm really sad that I didin't watched this before sharing my maps I wish if I watched this before even mapping but I'm a senior map maker so yeah I don't need for tutrials expect script and ini codes tutrials
It says name taken.

That's why a non-pirated game is always so expensive.
Shit the outer perimeter of my map was just a small square now i know that the whole base must be suuronded
Your forgot to add scripts to the amount of resources in warehouse.
+MetalSnakeBoogy Nope? It is in the script area...
I've been brainstorming for some time but I couldn't seem to find the solution or why it happened.
You can try this web page: triple-w cnclabs dot com.
I'm sorry couldn't give much help for this...
