Bring up the map, click on it, then type: allcheats.
Build order
Here is a suggested order in which you can build your base so that you get lots of money as quickly as possible. Note that this is only one method, and that there are plenty of other build orders that are just as good. Deploy the Moveable Construction Vehicle, then build power, barracks, refinery, power, weapons factory, then harvester (1 or 2). You should now be earning a steady income which you can build upon.
Change weapon cost
Edit the INI.big file in your game directory using a hex editor. Do not change the length of the file or the game will not work. Just overwrite the text as required.
For Example:
Search for "BuildCost" and overwrite it: "BuildCost = 0000"
Ghost town
Make your base invisible by doing the following. Bring down console, then type in ghost town.
Honors
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "skirmishstats.ini" file in the "command and conquer generals data" folder. It can be found in "c:my documents" or "c:documents and settingsadministrator" in Windows XP. Change the Honors line to "Honors = 999999999999999". If you do not have the Honors line, enter that line under the Challenge line.
Multiplayer allies
When you are playing a multiplayer game, if there are two allies, make one of them GLA. Now build a tunnel network beside your friend and give him troopers and vehicles.
Play as Russia
Bring up the command console then type the following to get units with names from some of the old Command and Conquer game titles: Russia:Yuri_Relived.
