That did work, thanks. Except.... now it has a problem with (Line: 'CommandSet ABoss_AmericaAirfieldCommandSet ')
Code:
 
 
CommandSet ABoss_AmericaAirfieldCommandSet
  1 = ABoss_Command_ConstructAmericaJetRaptor
  2 = Command_ConstructAmericaVehicleComanche
  3 = ABoss_Command_ConstructAmericaJetAurora
  4 = ABoss_Command_ConstructAmericaJetStealthFighter
  7 = Command_UpgradeComancheRocketPods
  8 = Command_UpgradeAmericaLaserMissiles
  9 = Command_UpgradeAmericaCountermeasures
 10 = Command_UpgradeAmericaBunkerBusters
 13 = Command_SetRallyPoint
 14 = Command_Sell 
End

The ABoss_ that I put in front of the units and structures names to distinguish them from other generals units is causing the crashes, but I do not understand why. The other generals have these codes -
Object Lazr_AmericaCommandCenter
Object AirF_AmericaCommandCenter
Object SupW_AmericaCommandCenter

What is wrong with Object ABoss_AmericaCommandCenter (or anything else with ABoss_ in front of it for that matter)?

My general is a compilation of the other USA General's units/structures but I have to create them as 'new' units because of the prequisates... Unless there is another way...

the game engine is expecting to see the command "Command_Construct" or "Command_Upgrade" in front of every line. its just how the game was coded. I was being to hasty with my first post.

try changing it to read Command_Construct_ABoss... and the rest is for your naming convention.

When I try to play my new general, it crashes on the loading screen and there is no general image although I did specify it in playertemplate.ini as USA logo. The error log reads: Reason Uncaught Exception in GameEngine::update
