17. Do you mean "When you extract the art big files, Will the art folder be created?"?
If so, Yes but I wouldn't advise doing this. I'd advise extracting the folders to your documents and copying files to the game folder when you need to use them.

Precisely.

When I first started modding, I directly edited the INIZH.big files.
What I do now is have all the .big files extracted into a folder in my documents. I copy from there into the game when I want to mod.

I find it easier to just have one image per image file. That way you just check the dimensions and don't have to mess around with working out where things are. The game will resize it for you (I once used a 3000 by 3000 picture where the game usually had a 150 by 150).

19.1: Object inis can have any name as long as they're in the object folder.
19.2: You need to make sure the path is correct. It doesn't matter how you separate the files.
19.3: the big archive should be placed in either the game root (mods the game) or in your Generals data folder in your documents (allows you to create a separate shortcut for that mod).

I hope that answers your questions. I found it hard to work out what you actually wanted. Your English is still quite poor.

If you want to use your own big file it is handy to have a separate shortcut so the game knows what to run...
Here is how to do it:
1. Go to your game root and select generals.exe
2. Right click and select create shortcut
3. cut/paste the new shortcut to your desktop and name it, mod name would be handy
4. select the shortcut, right click and select properties
5. locate the source and add -mod yourmod.BIG to it, apply and voilla you have just created a shortcut to your mod...

Be sure that there is a space between the end of the source path and -mod yourmod.BIG so something like this: ¨somekindofpath\blabla.exe¨ -mod yourmod.BIG

Check the first post I made again, there is a link with possible switches

You can add the switch to the target, so
¨D:\GAMES\Command and Conquer Generals\generals.exe¨ -mod bigfilename.BIG

But don't change the start in field.

And your .big should be in 'Your Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data\'

You can remove in a map.ini. the best way is probably to: duplicate the commandset, give it a new name, give the object the new commandset, do what you want to the commandset.

Design parameters doesn't really mean anything. It's just a note for the developers. It breaks up the code.

I think the EVA's are hardcoded. You can change the audio played. But not the conditions.

; FILE: Eva.ini


; Valid EvaEvents are:
;  lowpower
;  insufficientfunds
;  superweapondetected_own_particlecannon
;  superweapondetected_own_nuke
;  superweapondetected_own_scudstorm
;  superweapondetected_ally_particlecannon
;  superweapondetected_ally_nuke
;  superweapondetected_ally_scudstorm
;  superweapondetected_enemy_particlecannon
;  superweapondetected_enemy_nuke
;  superweapondetected_enemy_scudstorm
;  superweaponlaunched_own_particlecannon
;  superweaponlaunched_own_nuke
;  superweaponlaunched_own_scudstorm
;  superweaponlaunched_ally_particlecannon
;  superweaponlaunched_ally_nuke
;  superweaponlaunched_ally_scudstorm
;  superweaponlaunched_enemy_particlecannon
;  superweaponlaunched_enemy_nuke
;  superweaponlaunched_enemy_scudstorm
;  superweaponready_own_particlecannon

;  superweaponready_ally_particlecannon
;  superweaponready_ally_nuke
;  superweaponready_ally_scudstorm

;  SuperweaponLaunched_Enemy_GPS_Scrambler,
;  SuperweaponLaunched_Own_Sneak_Attack,
;  SuperweaponLaunched_Ally_Sneak_Attack,
;  SuperweaponLaunched_Enemy_Sneak_Attack,

; Note: you must give the sound EACH SIDE will play, including special Generals!
; Warning: Giving an EvaEvent a Priority of zero will cause it never to play! (The default priority is 1)

I think you can use a UnitSpecificSound when the button is clicked. You just to specify an entry from Voice.ini

That's how Comanche's Rocket Pods worked.
