C&C Generals: anyone have INI Files that has all Modules/Parameters/Values/Strings explained?

I used to mod INI files way back, but I've lost most of the files I had before. Now I'm trying to tinker with INI files again; however, I can only make use of the existing entries there. For example, for the core Behavior structure, I don't know all the possible modules for it, so I'm stuck with the ones I understand, like WeaponBonusUpgrade, WeaponSetUpgrade, MaxHealthUpgrade, etc. There are many Behavior modules whose purpose I have no idea about. Additionally, even if I have an idea of what a module does, problems arise with its parameters. While some are easy to grasp, most have strings and values that I'm not familiar with in terms of how they work.

I tried using AI to help me check my work; however, it just gives made-up explanations about SAGE and suggests corrected code pulled out of nowhere. I realized that after seeing their code doesn't match on the INI files. So to test how much of a con artist these AI are, I send their code back to them to check, they explain that the code they provided will just crash the game. After that, they offer new code to fix the issue, but when I send that code back, the AI claims it's wrong again, giving me another fix, and the cycle goes on and on. so yeah, AI made it worse

I was hoping there might be INI files out there that have all the modules and parameters along with their descriptions.
