While theoretically not limited to it, ModEnc's main focus currently is the modding of Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, mostly because the main contributors are YR modders. We'd be more than happy to see a crew of TS, Generals or TW modders join us, to add content specific to these games and engines.
While theoretically not limited to it, ModEnc's main focus currently is the modding of Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, mostly because the main contributors are YR modders. The addition of information about the modding of other parts of the franchise is greatly encouraged.
The ultimate goal of ModEnc is to supersede [[DeeZire]]'s [[Red Alert 2 & Yuris Revenge INI Editing Guide]]; not because it is bad in any way, but because it is not being updated anymore, therefore not expandable, and, to be honest, it is partly outdated by now. In addition, ModEnc not only covers the specific flags in the INIs, but also general information about the game, the engine, error messages, modding tools and the community itself.
The ModEnc crew does, however, strongly encourage the possession and consultation of The Guide in the process of modding, especially if the modder does not have continuous access to the internet.
ModEnc is not a project to kill the INI Guide; ModEnc is just taking the concept a step further.

After an idea of ComradeJ at the DeeZire forums in 2003, ModEnc was founded on Tuesday, 10.08.2004 at around 20:00 CEST by [[User:Renegade|Renegade]]. The underlying technology is the [http://www.mediawiki.org MediaWiki]-script, which also powers the various MediaWiki projects like Wikipedia, Wikiquote and Wikinews.

ModEnc is currently hosted at [http://www.modenc.renegadeprojects.com modenc.renegadeprojects.com], and administrated by the people listed [[Special:Listadmins|here]].
Along the way, we hosted the controversial [[Who Is Who]] page, picked up [[RockPatch]] pages until they warrented their own namespace, and made sure every flag in The Guide has a page here.

Ohh...a MediaWiki powered C&C modding encyclopedia called "PrimeNet ModEnc". Uh-hu. At least they had their own dozen of pages (including such informative pages like "Rape --> Is bad for your health").
'''Update:''' TotalPrime's wiki now sports the text "Note, this is not to be confused with the RenegadeProjects ModENC (http://modenc.renegadeprojects.com). This is simply my encyclopedia, basically all my knowledge in one place.". ModEnc's policy towards him changed accordingly.
...other than Mr. NBF, who's oldest revision of the main page strangely reminds me of our own, complete with the long outdated URLs that I'll have to fix soon.<br>
''Update:'' the revision we were linking to has been removed. (A link to this page has not been added). Smart move, NBF, very smart. Like that changes anything.<br>
''Update2:'' Especially when you're not smart enough to remove all ripped content.
