INI
The INI-files are the key part of modding any C&C-game from RA to Generals/Zero Hour. Although the system of the INIs changed with the engines, even today they're still there. INIs can either be modified via a text/INI-editor or TibEd, while most in the community do not recommend the latter. For more information on what the individual file does, click on it's name.

Scrambled/String-INIs
These INIs' names were either not given correctly by XCC mixer, or have no useful name. They all seem to consist of localization strings.

Generals/Zero Hour
(As I have not started looking into Generals yet, some Gen Modder should fill this gap)
