Bug Description

macOS 26.5.2, Apple Silicon M4, GeneralsX Beta 12 (Zero Hour), Steam assets, CNC_GENERALS_ZH_PATH=/Users/mikhail/GeneralsX/GeneralsZH.

User maps do not appear in Skirmish under either Official or Unofficial maps. Tested:

Steam Workshop maps folder with .map, .tga, .png, map.ini, map.str
A plain ModDB skirmish map folder with only .map and .tga

Both placed in $CNC_GENERALS_ZH_PATH/Maps// and in ~/Documents/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data/Maps//. Neither location works.

Log only ever shows [INI] load('Maps/MapCache.ini') the cache read from MapsZH.big . There is no sign of the user maps directory being scanned.

Additionally, the Custom Mission button in Solo Play shows MISSING: 'GUI:CustomMission', does not highlight on hover, and does nothing when clicked.

Reproduction Steps

Download any type of map and try to launch it

Additional Context

Maybe issue #17 ( closed has something simular to this issue

I was trying to figure this out too and learned that on macOS the Documents equivalent of the Zero Hour Data goes into
/Users/<your-username>/Library/Application Support/GeneralsX/GeneralsZH

Try dropping your Maps/ folder in there.

@salnikovmikki-pixel the custom mission functio is a known not working and it's planned for future as a low priority feature.

For the maps, they need to be placed in your ~/Library/Application Support/GeneralsX/GeneralsZH/Maps directory.

Here is my folder contents for reference.

❯ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/GeneralsX/GeneralsZH/Maps
