C&C Labs upload of my Time To Kill Map for Zero Hour. [map.ini]
I figured not a lot of people are using ModDB to find maps. So I decided to upload it here aswell.

Make sure to read through some of the ReadME. Or else you won't know what to do.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:
Place Both maps in your maps folder at...

"\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\Maps".

Will only work in Vanilla Zero Hour.

Read this!

Scroll down to "HOW TO START A ROUND!!!:" if you'd like to know how to start a round!

Make sure to read some of the "Available Attacker AI's:" part. This is where you can change game modes.

If you're encountering mismatches, scroll down to the "SUPPORT SECTION".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extra Note:
This "Map" will be converted into a Mod someday by me, basically I am trying to get away from map.ini, 
since it's just too limiting. But im still proud to announce that this is probably the biggest
map.ini Game mode that currently exists at the time of releasing it (194277 Lines of Code!).
And hopefully one of the best AOD Maps too ^^.

This project started in January 2022. And ended in August 2023.
1 Year, 8 Months, the time to make this Game Mode. So... thanks for playing it.

HOW TO START A ROUND!!!:

Note: If you're playing alone, a Bot will be assigned to your Team. It's going to defend the right side
      of the Map. It's always going to be USA as defending Faction.

-Place a AI on the 8th Player slot in your lobby! If not, the Map will close the current match.
-Chose a Difficulty and a Faction from the list below.
-Choose a General for yourself! You can play as everything!
-Press Start!


Example:
-Player1 (Host)
-Player2
-Player3
-Player4
-Player5
-Player6
-Player7
-Player8 (AI/BOT)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO WIN:

Beat all Waves and the Final Boss! (Average Time: 1hour 30 Minutes for 50 Waves)
The Final Boss will always attack the middle area of the map!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO LOSE:

If enough Enemies escape, a special Boss will spawn. If you let that Boss escape, you lose.
But at least you get a chance, because if you manage to defeat it, you get to continue.
Though it will not die without causing a ton of damage.

======================================================================================================
======================================================================================================
SUPPORT SECTION:

Weird stuff to remember because it's a heavy map.ini, or in other words... 
CAN'T PLAY MAP CUZ IT'S MISMATCHING!!!

-Mismatch at beginning: Just have everyone restart their game, then start the map together in a lobby.
 More reasons: One player doesn't have the map.ini loaded, wrong game versions.

-Transfering the Map ingame will also need a game restart on everyone's side or a mismatch will happen.

-Mismatch after constructing something: REMOVE ANY ALPHA OR BETA MAPS FROM YOUR FOLDER!
 Map.ini Maps can for some reason conflict with "BuildVariation", which some Turrets depend on.

-Mismatch after playing for some time: This is where it gets weird. So here are some reasons.
 1) Unstable internet connection. (Though it can also work most of the time... I know, this game is great.)
 2) Unlucky, just a random mismatch because the game forgot to sync something. (Very rare, don't count on this)
 3) Slightly different game versions. Compare every persons game folders. This is probably the main reason
    behind your mismatches. Just a few edits or a faulty installation can mismatch.
    My fix for this was to send a friend of mine a copy of my entire Generals and Zero Hour folder,
    to make sure we have the same version. It never mismatched again. 

Like I already mentioned, the third reason ["3) Slightly different game versions."] is probably the main reason
why you are encountering mismatches in this Map, and probably in other maps/mods too.
If you manage to fix this, I can promise that your game will mismatch a lot less in the future.

Good Luck.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "Campaign":
USA --> CHINA --> GLA --> GLA Stealth (True Mode)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure to check the list below for more AI options!
There are 12 different options!

Note:
Some Attackers have 50 Waves. (Which takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete)

======================================================================================================
======================================================================================================
-CHINA Infantry: (*) [50 Waves]
 Singleplayer Mode, extremely useful for learning new Factions. 
 (IMPORTANT: Place your Start Position on the left side of the Map!)
 Singleplayer Helper Bot is disabled.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-CHINA Tank: (**) [30 Waves]
 Tanks! I need more Tanks!
 Only a few, but heavy Aircraft waves are present. A more Tank destroying gameplay focus.
 
 Naval units have been disabled.
 Enraged units have been disabled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-USA Airforce: (**) [30 Waves]
 Some ground units but mostly Aircraft will attack.
 Very early on, you'll need a lot of Anti-Air, but don't forget the ground enemies!
 A attacker, that is spamming with more Aircraft than usual.
 
 Naval units have been disabled.
 Enraged units have been disabled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-USA Laser: (***) [20 Waves]
 Frontline Mode: 6 Minute setup time.
 Start with Tier 5 and Rank 5, survive till Wave 20 and face devastating Hordes.
 Tier 6 is locked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-USA Superweapon: (***) [15 Waves]
 A taste of Chaos: Start with $1.500.000 + Tier 5 and Rank 5

 You start with enough money to purchase Bob's Shoes!
 But don't forget about your Energy! Bob's Arsenal is extremely power hungry.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-USA: (****) [50 Waves]
 Bring your big guns, because these guys are getting serious!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-CHINA: (****) [50 Waves]
 Can be a bit more scary to fight against, a lot more Units will be attacking than usual.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-GLA: (*****) [50 Waves]
 Pain. Hordes of Units will be approaching rapidly. Aircraft will swarm the entire Map.
 Suicide and Boss Units are very common. If you think you are prepared for everything,
 you are not. Also, you might want to be extra ready for the Final Boss fight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-GLA Stealth: (********** ********** ********** ********** ********** ********** *********)
 [  T h e   T r u e   C h a l l e n g e  ]
 
 I am Kassad.
 Prepare your sanity.
 (50 Waves + ?? ?????)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-GLA Demolition: (?????) [50 Waves]
 CHAOS! CHAOS! EVERYTHING IS RANDOMIZED!

 TIMERS, ENEMIES, BOSSES AND MORE!
 WHY YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS? I DON'T KNOW!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-GLA Toxin: (*****) [20 Waves]
 Limited Arsenal:
 
 Players are limited to Tier 1. Have fun spamming with Tier 1 Turrets!
 Though playing as Tank General would probably be the best choice for this...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-CHINA Nuclear: (Endless Mode)
 For those who are bored, and have beaten everything. Difficulty will keep increasing.
 Survive as long as possible, and show everyone how far you made it!

 Units, Bosses and Endbosses are randomized.

 WARNING: No Punishment Unit! Instant Defeat once enough units have escaped!

======================================================================================================
======================================================================================================
Playable Factions: Everyone!
Though, I REALLY recommend playing one of the USA factions first!
China and GLA play a bit differently, and can be harder to play for new players. ^^

I've lost my sanity many times while making this Map.












































































































































































































































































































































































































































































This is a way for me to express myself.

































































































































































































































































































































































By having you scroll further down every time you read a comment like this.








































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Are you bored?









































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Well, you should make a map then.























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































You don't know how? Join the C&C ZH Worldbuilder Discord Server. 
I even linked it in the credits of this document my guy...




















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































You have to know, I sure was scared to release this map. And at the same time not to release it.
Normally, there would've been... different units for Attacker Kassad. 
And even Turrets, for the defending Kassad. But, I decided to rework him.
His rework was a big success, he was even more fun to play now.































































































































































































































































































































































































































































There were times where I thought I could release this map.
One time was, where I completed all the USA defenders. The main gameplay was done.
But... I had to go further than that, and so I started doing the China defenders.
Realising, that GLA should exist too then.












































e


















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Ah yes, after spending months making just the defenders. I had to make some more gameplay.
Starting with CHINA and GLA as attacking factions. And you know, making one defender, 
was already taking so much motivation. That was a big task.















































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































After those 3 main attackers, Infantry, a singeplayer mode got added.
Since my old Contra Version of TTK also had one. And it also had a insane endgame mode.
Before only having 75 Waves, I decided to go for 100 in this Version.
This... was the biggest and hardest Attacker to make.
Especially, the last fight. Which you have to see for yourself.










































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Im impressed that you're reading all of this stuff. Or you're just here by accident...
Anyways, that was another moment where I was like: "Im done with this map."
When suddenly I thought about something... You have 12 defenders to play as...
But only 5 Attackers to fight against? Oh no...
The next few remaining months before release, I was only making more Attackers.
But honestly, If I wouldn't have done more attackers, the balancing would've been worse.
And I made it for some replay value, since you have so many options now.























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Very last thing I made is a Bot, that will assist anyone that is playing alone.
This was actually fun to do, because of the build list tool.
Just tell the bot where something should be built. I do not regret making this.
























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































And you know, there's not a better feeling than releasing something you've worked a long time on.














































































































This map... has been truly a adventure. I believe, that I made a simple turret building game mode...

Something special.



Good Luck. General.
