The UI is one of the more important parts of RA2. it is a file containing all of the visual files and the GIB files for many things.


Basics

The UI contains all of the images for the buttons, backgrounds and tournament pics for RA2. The only exceptions are the game Icon, Textures, Custom Textures and the Damage marks component inflict.


GIBs

The GIBs are the files showing the placement for every menu and screen in the game. As well as containing most of the text attributes for the type shown in various menus. These files are easily editable, The biggest mod of the GIB files was by the DSL team in changing everything to be graphically orientated rather then the over use of tables and text Stock RA2 uses, giving the game a much newer and more creative look.


Graphics

There are many graphics in RA2, either Bitmap {BMP} or Targa (TGA) image format. You can freely edit them, but be warned about the size, and standard modding precautions MUST be taken.
