			== Things you have to know (by DCoder) ==

			Before you start reading the tutorials, reade this article to make sure you know what is necessary.

			*INI files are case-sensitive. This isn't stressed enough. The files are case-sensitive, so if you reference a weapon called BIGGUN, you have to have [BIGGUN], not [BigGUn], not [BiGGUN], not [biggun], not [BIGGUn] or any other way. It's spelling must be consistent.
			*You can use spaces between [ brackets ], but it's best not to.
			*Some of the INI files need some dummy lines in the end, else they won't work. This is because of a parsing bug in the RA2 code, which prevents the last section from being read correctly.
			*Read the [[DeeZire]]'s [[INI Editing Guide]]. It is an invaluable source of information.
			*Read the [[Glossary of Common Editing Terms]]
