GeneralsOnline compatibility / unable to use GeneralsVR with current online client #9

Description

Description

GeneralsVR currently appears to be incompatible with GeneralsOnline (https://www.playgenerals.online/), which is becoming one of the main ways the community plays Zero Hour online.

Both projects seem to require their own custom game executable:

GeneralsVR launches its own generalszhv.exe.
GeneralsOnline is launched through GeneralsOnlineZH.exe.

Because of this, I cannot find a way to launch Zero Hour with both the GeneralsVR modifications and the GeneralsOnline multiplayer client active at the same time.

Steps / current behavior

  • Install base game, Generals VR and GeneralsOnline.
  • Run GeneralsVR. It launches its own build of Zero Hour.
  • Run GeneralsOnline. It launches its own build of Zero Hour. It requires launching the game through its own client/executable.

There appears to be no way to make GeneralsOnline launch the GeneralsVR executable or otherwise combine the two.

Expected / desired behavior
Ideally, GeneralsVR could somehow be used together with GeneralsOnline so that VR players can participate in normal online multiplayer games.

If this is already technically possible, some documentation on how to configure the two together would also solve the issue.
