GeneralsZH Launcher — macOS (Apple Silicon) launcher-v0.1.4
Native macOS arm64 launcher for Command & Conquer: Generals — Zero Hour.
New — "Mods & Extensions" tab
- Extensions: one-click Install / Remove of optional add-ons straight into your game folder. First add-on: Vehicle Dual Guard — the two-click Guard-From-Position order on every Cold War Crisis combat vehicle & aircraft (attacks anything entering a watch zone, returns home when the threat clears).
- Mods: a guided path for third-party mods we don't host — opens the mod's official download page (e.g. Cold War Crisis on ModDB) and registers the file you downloaded so it launches via the mod system.
- The catalog loads live from the repo, so new add-ons appear without a launcher update. Refresh reloads it and re-checks what's installed.
Install
- Download GeneralsZH-Launcher.dmg, open it, and drag GeneralsZH Launcher.app onto the Applications folder.
- The app is ad-hoc signed (not notarized), so macOS blocks it on first launch. Clear the quarantine flag once in Terminal, then open normally:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/GeneralsZH Launcher.app" - Pick the folder with your original Zero Hour data (
.bigfiles) and press Play. The engine is downloaded automatically from the latestengine-v*release.
(GeneralsZH-Launcher.app.zip is also attached — it's what the launcher's built-in updater uses.) Apple Silicon (M-series) only. Checksums in SHA256SUMS.
