Newbie modder seeking advice.

I have decided I want to start modding ZH. But frankly I dont know where to begin. I have started looking through the forums to pick up bits and pieces of information but I'm still lost. The last game I modded was Tiberian Sun. What has changed since? I see generals still uses INI files but it seems there are a lot more. If it wouldnt be too much of a hastle, could someone point me to a good resource place to start editing? Thank you

But in all fairness, it's probably got the best articles for beginners.

Fairly old topic; it's probably moved or got taken down.

A big difference between Generals:ZH and Tiberium Sun is that every general has different units as opposed to TS which has only two different sides. So I use final big to open the big files and you just have to find the general you are wanted to mod. It is alot bigger job than TS could ever be.
