The Red Alert+ Mod

there are no xmls in the stream... but there is plenty of stuff extracted from the .big that -can- be read by a hexeditor

No hex editor I know can read encrypted coded xml (and even GOB) files extracted from BIG files from both C&C3 and RA3.

A hex editor can read EVERY file. It just depends on if you understand the hex code or not. And cgf does partially.
btw: The streams are not encrypted! It's just a different format to save information.

If you know the order of the values all the data is plain "text".
I have no memory who were the first one who said data gets encrypted by compiling but imo that person should get slapped every time someone mentions that.
