This isn't so much of a tutorial as it is a guide for finding something in the Tiberian Sun .mix files (the .mix files in the SUN directory); particularly if you want to find it quickly to extract it. This is rated a 1 star because... well, all you need to be able to do is comprehend it, which is required for ALL TUTORIALS.
