[xx01xx] What is this guide for?

Well to start with, IDB stands for Intelligence Database. This FAQ is 
JUST for editing the IDB files and not much else, there are other 
guides for in game help or missions objectives and such already.

[xx02xx] How to find and edit the IDB files.

Ok so first of all I am going to make this as simple as possible, as
I myself am not very computer literate (and I'm not old!).

I am doing this via Windows Vista, though I am led to believe it is 
much the same for Windows XP. Click the following:

Start. (Bottom Left corner of your screen).
Search.
For Files and Folders....
Put in the search bar 'IDB' (without the quote marks, obviously).
Then click the down arrow next to 'advanced search'.
Then click the box next to:
   'Include non-indexed, hidden, and system files (might be slow)'

Now open the file named 'IDB'.

Now open each IDB file, (via the names listed below) which will open 
in notepad, then in turn to copy and paste in the relevant information 
into the correct folders.

Then file (up in the left corner of the window you just opened) and
then click save. That should just about do it :-)

[xx04xx] The Broken Files.

One thing before I start, THERE AREN'T ANY! But in saying that alot of people
seem to be confused about where to get a few of them, some just plain glitch
and therefor only appear you restart a mission, though it doesn't happen often.
Other than that, people seem to have trouble with 0118_ReaperTripod = 1 and
'0120_ShieldedHarvester = 1' and '0122_ShardWalker = 1', which can all be
gotten near the end of the mission called 'Tacitus Interruptus'. Instead of
taking the MCV all the way up the hill path take it to a safe spot 
(your base perhaps) and get ready to destroy the Scrin force coming into the
area from the North-East hill top, you get all 3 IDB entries after destroy each
of the waves of enemies.

[xx05xx] FAQs and other stuff.

Q. 
I did what you said but I see GDI & Scrin file folders too, what's going on?
A. You probably opened the IDB folder for Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars,
if you wanted files for that too, I have already done a guide like this for 
that game already, go check it out!

Q. I can't find the files on Linux/My Mac/Windows 95 etc. where are they?
A. How the hell should I know? Seriously though, I've never used any of them,
maybe try asking on the message boards, I don't know much about computers.

Q. Your Guide is amazing.
A. That's not a question, but thanks!

Q. How do I get in contact with you?
A. .....why, what for? If it's something about the guide then email me at
rich UNDRSCORE faq AT hot mail DOT co DOT uk, my email is written 
like that so no annoying spam scanners can pick it up. Just edit it 
accordingly and send me an email if you need to.

[xx06xx] Credits, thanks and etc.
