But why it gives an data which is named "Trojan" whats the idea behind it?
and yes i have kaspersky and can´t play the modpack
An antivirus such as Kaspersky considers mods as potential threats to your PC. Many antiviruses actually act that way. However, I can assure you that Contra contains no virus. What you can do is manually flag the file as a non-virus and problem solved.
Why I can not sale buildings
The option was intentionally removed to make PvP matches more fair. While it is indeed inconvenient to not be able to sell your buildings if you're low on income, your opponent can't do it either so you may capture their buildings and gain more experience, which is Paramount in this game.
How can i access the soundtracks? there is one while playing the US Air force that i enjoy.
You can find all the soundtracks here: Zerohourcontra.fandom.com
Is there any way for making Kasperksy not delete the launcher? No other mod for any game I've played has given me this problem
You can use the .net core build of the launcher which isn't flagged by anti-virus software.

Any trainer for this version?
That question should be asked to those who make trainers.
I'm just new on playing this mod and men! Aren't't you allowed to sell your buildings?? It seems like you don't have time rearranging your structures.. Or is there a hotkey to use when selling buildings??
Is this the gameplay since this mod started??

Going to copy/paste the comment I made a little while ago on this topic:
"The option was intentionally removed to make PvP matches more fair. While it is indeed inconvenient to not be able to sell your buildings if you're low on income, your opponent can't do it either so you may capture their buildings and gain more experience, which is Paramount in this game."
the IA is ridiculous , i remenber in old version 007 the IA very most agressive.
Oh? I thought the AI in recent versions was deemed hard to fight against?
I've been trying to install patch 2 and everything goes fine until step 7 Rename generals.exe to generals_zh.exe and 8 rename generals.ctr to generals exe
I can't find generals.exe.
Any help for an absolute beginner please?
Why are you installing the mod manually? Do you have problems with the launcher? You need to do these steps if you have to install the mod manually for whatever reason. Just use Contra Launcher to play the mod.
If you actually need to do manual installation, generals.exe is located in your Zero Hour folder. It can't be missing because that's the executable file of the original game. Unless you're looking at the wrong folder.
Hi, I tried just using launcher and it just comes up as the original zero hour. When I made the changes according to the instructions it said "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\generals.exe' Make sure you've typed the name correctly, then try again.". I know I must have done something wrong but I can't work out what. The first two patches worked fine but this last one has bamboozled me.
From the error you're getting it sounds like you're trying to rename the file using command prompt. If you're on Origin, the generals.exe would start with a capital letter (Generals.exe).
I am using origin and I tried changing thing the way the instructions said but I'm still getting error messages. I think I have a problem with my machine. It won't let web pages open when I run cyberghost, so I'm going to get a new one and then try again. Thanks for your help, I'll get back to you if I can't get it to work on the new computer.
is there a alt download method moddb is just showing white page for download button

why Nemesis V2 and Cylons were removed ??? what are you doing guys ?? cybernetic general has no strength in fleet .. I like cylons guys why is that why ???
Cylons were deemed overpowered and Nemesis was pretty much useless without them, so the team removed them both.
Nemesis was an amazing battleship im so disappointed both were amazing bro.Now the general power for the cybernetics is ridiculous. That faction was my favorite :( anyway thank you for replying to me and thank you and your friend's for this beautiful contra mod i really respect the people behind this beautiful mod.. Accept my gratitude.
It was a choice of gameplay optimization more than "Hey, I hate those Cylons, let's get rid of them!"

Please make the bots harder-.- i sleep when i play against them...
Play on insane
Play Challenge on Hard.
Please help guys, kaspersky eats the launcher, what can I do?
You can set an exception for your game folder in Kaspersky settings or use the .net core build of the launcher which isn't flagged by anti-virus software.
Github.com
So just to be sure, my AV telling me there's a PUP is a false positive and there's nothing to worry about. Right?
Yes, it is a false positive. You can get the .net core build of the launcher (31.6 MB), which the anti-virus software do not complain about for some reason: Github.com
or install the mod manually if you don't trust the launcher.
I'm using the .net core build of the launcher and today it just stopped working. No error or anything, it just doesn't open at all. The only thing to note today was an update to Java
Hi, I would like to add some units, upgrades, and buildings from other ZH mods to Contra.
Can you write a little instruction on how to do this?
Or maybe there is some kind of video guide?
Everytime I install patch, the game is unplayable. There's pink everywhere.
Did you replace all P1 ctr files by P2's?
Looking to remove the superweapon limit in the Generals Challenge, any way for this?
Cannot and will not be done for a good reason: a challenge is not supposed to be a walk in the park, otherwise that would be cheating. Now if you truly want to build an ulimited amount of superweapons, I guess you can manipulate the ini files yourself or look for fan addons but do not expect the team to do it.
i love this
hello it's my first time to install contra and it gives me error "contra009.ctr is missing?
You need to place all the Contra files in the ZH directory and by all files, I mean ALL files. If you are playing any of the patches, make sure you replace some .ctr files with new ones as well.
