The official open-source release of the Command & Conquer: Generals and Zero Hour real-time strategy game source code by Electronic Arts. It enables modding and Steam Workshop support for the games, with binaries requiring ownership of the retail game.

Use cases

  • build a modified version of C&C Generals Zero Hour
  • create Steam Workshop mods for Generals
  • study how a commercial RTS engine is implemented
  • port the game engine to modern compilers or 64-bit
  • fix bugs or add features to a classic RTS

When to choose

  • you want to mod or extend C&C Generals or Zero Hour
  • you're researching commercial RTS engine architecture
  • you own the game and want community-patched builds

When to avoid

  • you want a free standalone game - you must own the original
  • you need an easy modern build - legacy MSVC 6 project with missing proprietary SDKs
  • you want cross-platform support - it's Win32-only
