Does anyone know where to edit the tooltips in-game? I have looked everywhere in the big files for it and cannot seem to find it. I'm sure that I'm overlooking its location. Thanks in advance😁

I hope that I'm getting this right, but is this what you mean?

CommandButton Command_DaisyCutter
  Command           = SPECIAL_POWER
  SpecialPower      = SuperweaponDaisyCutter
  Options           = NEED_SPECIAL_POWER_SCIENCE NEED_TARGET_POS CONTEXTMODE_COMMAND
  Science           = SCIENCE_DaisyCutter SCIENCE_MOAB ;These will cause the buttons to change icons, nothing more
  TextLabel         = CONTROLBAR:DaisyCutter ;;;;; this
  ButtonImage       = SACDaisyCutter
  ButtonBorderType  = ACTION 
  DescriptLabel     = CONTROLBAR:TooltipDaisyCutter ;;;;and this 
  RadiusCursorType  = DAISYCUTTER
  InvalidCursorName = GenericInvalid
End

Do you want to edit the texts? Or am I way off here?
If you want to edit the texts, I believe you need the csf editor. If not, would you mind explaining more what you want to edit?

Yes. There’s several descriptions in-game that are vague AF or just underwhelming. I want to go in and fix them all. Plus I’ve modded quite a few units for the General’s, so they need to be updated as well. You mentioned .csf editing, is that what is needed to do this?

Regards 👍

You will need to use finalBIG to extract the file English.big or EnglishZH.big, use it to extract all the data inside this file to your desktop for example. Then look for the file called "generals.csf" (In Data>English), you can open it using this csf editor.

Tip: when you open the .BIG file don't try to only extract the generals.csf file as it may crash finalBIG or take a very long time to load. Just click on edit>extract all.
