Overview
Vietnam Glory Obscured is a total conversion for Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour that simulates warfare during the Vietnam War. The mod features unique gameplay elements such as village occupation and reputation, jungle combat and modular construction.
Two completely different factions, the United States of America and the North Vietnamese Army, are represented with realistic units from the time period and present very different gameplay styles and strategies. Infantry warfare is very important; vehicles and aircraft must be supported to be successful and all units have multiple direct counters.
Custom maps are designed to provide novel strategic choices while being aesthetically pleasing, with a variety of different styles, layouts and game modes. Custom designed jungle trees create realistic jungles that camouflage infantry for ambushes and provide bonuses to NVA infantry; they can catch and spread fire dynamically, as well as be poisoned by Agent Orange.
Game modes include Bombardment, with a capturable Battleship or Aircraft Carrier for the USA and total map vision for the NVA, and King of the Hill, where a player must hold the hill area for a given period of time to be victorious.
This style of gameplay has never before been seen in Command and Conquer Generals, and makes for a whole new experience.
The Auto Updater
We are now offering a full download that comes with an auto updater. Once the mod is installed, any small fixes or changes will be updated automatically whenever you start the mod launcher if you are connected to the internet.
The speed of the downloads for the auto updater will range in speed depending on how fast your connection is, how many people are currently updating, and your location. If you are having issues with the Auto Updater, please check out our common issues thread.
The updater allows this mod to be compatible with any other mods that use mod launchers, including Shockwave and Cold War Crisis.

Is there any way to get this to work with GenLauncher?
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
Can still get into the game. But for some reason the Ai doesn't move nor have any color. even after i replace SCB file in Scripts folder.
After sceaching for fix. I just have to reinstall it. and lauch the mod via general.exe
I reinstall the mod mostly like this comment said. (So all the credit to this guy name Zeke)

(in my case I have to use VPN wepsite to see it.)
1. Uninstall the mod, we have to start from a clean ZH folder
2. If you haven't already, download and install Bibber's Fixed Ultimate Edition Launchers
3. Make a copy of your ZH folder, and rename it to "VGO" or whatever you like. We shall hence forth refer to this folder as your "main VGO folder"
4. Install the mod to that folder
5. In the "Mod Files" folder, take all the .vgo files, change their extensions to .big, and move them to the main VGO folder
6. Move the "Install_Final" from "Mod Files" to the main VGO folder, and overwrite the existing one
7. Pick one of the .shell files, change the extension to .big, then move it in the main VGO folder
8. Move the "Batik" font file to the main VGO folder
9. Move "intro_movie.bik" to the "Data>Movies" folder in your main VGO folder. If the folder doesn't exist create it
10. Move "MultiplayerScripts.scb" and "SkirmishScripts.scb" to the "Data>Scripts" folder in your main VGO folder. If the folder doesn't exist create it
11. Double click on the Generals application in your main VGO folder to play. You can make a shortcut to it on your desktop to make things easier
Good luck.
It's too bad this mod doesn't have a discord or anything. It's one of my favorite mods and unfortunately I am unable to get it to work with my current setup and Origin. If anyone has a detailed installation guide, I'd love to see it.
Cheers!

Copy all the mod files into the 2nd ZH game folder and rename all the .vgo files to .big. You may have to enable file extensions in the windows ui to do this.
For those interested in more history, here is where the captured U.S. equipment resides today. Militarymatters.online
I just installed the mod. Question is, how do I know if I am already patched to 2.1. Is there a way to download the patches manually? I am beginning to learn the game and somebody from another mod told me this is also a great mod and realistic.
You have to download the patches and drop them into the folder with the mod
Why AI not attack me !!!! Did this mod error ??
