			== Editing CSF files in XCC String Table Editor ==

			Let's say you are following a tutorial for adding a new unit... and the tutorial tells you to "add an entry {{Tt\|Name:NewTank}} to the CSF file and set it to 'My New Tank'".

			* Open [[XCC Mixer]].
			* Launch > String Table Editor > select the game.
			* In the left panel, select the "NAME" section.
			** You can actually select any section you wish, it will still get saved properly.
			* Click "Insert" at the bottom.
			* Type in {{Tt\|Name:NewTank}} and hit Enter.
			** These strings are ''case-insensitive'', you can type in {{Tt\|naME:NEWTANk}} and it would still work.
			* Double click on the new entry.
			** Alternatively, click on it and hit "Edit" at the bottom, your choice.
			* Type in {{Tt\|My New Tank}} in the big box, and leave the bottom box empty.
			** These strings are ''case-sensitive'', and the text you type in here will be displayed in the same case as you entered it.
			* Hit "OK".
			* Hit "OK" at the bottom.

			There you go, now your tank will be named "My New Tank" when you move your mouse over it. (This doesn't effect the cameo.)

	~~== Missing:Name:BLAHBLAH (Modifying ra2(md).csf files) (by Kravvitz)==~~
	In XCC Mixer go to Launch --> XCC String Table Editor --> Red Alert 2 or Red Alert 2 YR, whether you are modding RA2 or YR. XCC String Table Editor is used to modify the ra2.csf and ra2md.csf files. First in the left column click on whichever stringtype you want to add, usually this is "NAME" because that controls the names of all units, superweapons, and buildings next click on "insert", then making sure that the string you just created is still selected, click on "edit" and in the big text box in the middle of the window that pops-up add whatever text you want displayed in game. Don't mess with the bottom text box, as far as I know it is unused. Apparently if you switch string type sections before saving, then it will delete all changes to the strings in that section. XCC String Editor only edits the RA2.CSF and RA2MD.CSF files that are in the directory in which you most recently installed RA2/YR.
