ummm yeah, that tut placed here doesnt really help much, and i know next to nothing about this file type besides that photoshop Indesign has a same file extention for color(wich i dont think thats what im looking for. i do know that the

UIName=blahblah

has something to to with the .csf file, but if i take it out of unit codes, will the game not crash when ever i add a new unit? and what would i need to open such a file (.csf), cuz mixer wont open that type. And finally, what is the purpose of the .csf file for RA2/YR?

This article on ModEnc explains this, but I'll repeat it. CSF file is a container for ingame texts. It stores all the ingame text in Unicode, so people can edit this file and translate the game's interface into any language they want without having to change the rules or anything else. To edit it, you go to XCC Mixer > Launch > String Table Editor or get Matze's RA2StrEdit.
