TibEd

TibEd is a frontend-tool coded by Koen to edit the CnC games' INIs. It is mostly unused in the active modding community. A quote from Renegade on the subject:

Using a text-editor, you can use every single function that's possible. In TibEd, you can only use what the program has a box for.

It's no discussion there...any kind of frontend for the rules neuters your modding-abilities. An AI-Editor is one thing, because AI-sections use a limited set of functions, which is repeated in every section. But how are you gonna do the particle-trick in TibEd, for example?

The tool however may be interesting for newbies, and is available from TibEd.net.
