I agree - that is one mother of a n00b-assed question. Man, any decent coder can should be able to figure that type of thing out in minutes man, not days!
If you are using the xcc program ( I know for Ra2 it is called mixer but for Generals is it called Bigger :-) ) you can see by the side of every ini file in the ini.big file the correct location of it and then you can just copy the file threw the xcc and it will be extracted to the right place on your generals folder( only if the program itself is in the same location as the Generals.exe and all the .BIG files)
well post the code and we'll see if anybody can help you. also, try going to my documents/cnc generals data/ and open releasecrashinfo.txt. if the game crashes when you use your modded ini files then it will tell you what ini file and what entry is causing the problem.
Yep. That fixed it. I had deleted CommandCenter from the American dozer so it read America so it was searching for the object America. Thanx for the help.
