Go to the utilities section and download Ra2 Ini and YR Ini. Then PM me if you need help.

Read the INI files thougholy. I suggest using wordpad(which I just learned how to use). It is easy. Right click the map under the RA2 folder and choose open with wordpad. Copy and paste what you want from the INI files. Then, change what you want for example, adding extra armor onto a prism tank or making kirovs drop nuclear bombs. Trust me, it take lots of time to sort things out. Also, is you incorrectly mod a unit, it could result in internal error. Just make sure you are thourough.

the way i mod units is to get RA2MD.ini and mod the units that way u can CTR F a unit name to find a spaciffic unit thean u can mod there name (Note dont do it as it comes up MISSING NAME: if u dont use the RA2 String table editor) u can edit buy price attack power and other things this way takes a bit of doing to get use to but hey i think its the easest best way to learn to mod is "Poke around"

i believe that by far the easiest mod ini editor is TibEd. it has a very organized interface and has tooltips for every flag i believe the URL is: http://www.tibed.net/ again it is alot easier for newbies to egt started then the manual edit modes of other ini file editors. (BTW: dont worry about the "free trial" tibed works forever with just a 10 second delay at satrtup) Remember to get TibEd 1 (2 is for generals only)
