Updated the guide to fix spelling and grammar errors,

added a warning, updated outdated build preset names,
and added a description, improved header,
and extra information in a few places.

-# Building in CLion with a VC6 \(x86\) Toolchain
+# Compile Command & Conquer Generals And Zero Hour with VC6 in CLion
+
+To compile the source code for **C&C Generals** and **Zero Hour** using the CLion IDE, follow the steps
+outlined below. This guide shows how to configure CLion to work with the Visual Studio 6.0 toolchain,
+maintaining compatibility with the original compiler from the game's development era.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-1. **CLion** installed and configured.
-2. **Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 (VC6)** installed (assuming it’s installed in the
-   default directory).
-3. **Source code** of the project cloned from the TheSuperHackers repository.
+- [Visual Studio 6.0 Portable](https://github.com/itsmattkc/MSVC600)
+- [CLion](https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/)
+- [Source Code](https://github.com/TheSuperHackers/GeneralsGameCode) of the project cloned from the TheSuperHackers repository
+
+> For simplicity, this guide assumes the user will be using the
+> default install folder for Visual Studio 6.0 Portable: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\`
 
 ## Step 1: Setting Up the Toolchain in CLion
 
-1. Open the cloned folder in **CLion** and go to **File** -> **Settings** -> **Build, Execution,
-   Deployment** -> **Toolchains**.
+1. Open the cloned folder in **CLion** and go to **File** → **Settings** → **Build, Execution,
+   Deployment** → **Toolchains**.
 2. Add a new **Toolchain** by clicking the **+** button.
-3. Select **System** as the Type (not Visual Studio).
-4. Rename the toolchain to **Visual Studio 6**
+3. Select **System** as the type (not Visual Studio).
+4. Rename the toolchain to **Visual Studio 6**.
 5. Next to the toolchain name, add the **environment** file by clicking the
    **+** button and pointing to the following file:
 
    ```text
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT
    ```
 
+   > **Warning**: Make sure to change the file extension from `.BAT` to `.bat` (lowercase) in the path to the
+   > environment file in the CLion toolchains window, otherwise CLion may have issues detecting the environment
+   > for some reason.
+
 6. Set the paths for the tools:
-    - **Build Tool**: Choose the `NMAKE.EXE` file from VC6. For example:

-## Step 2: Configuring the CMake Profile

-1. In Cmake profiles, enable the profiles you want to use, like vc6, vc6dgb, vc6int, vc6prof.
+## Step 2: Configuring the CMake Profiles
 
-## step 3: Configuring the installation path
+1. In the CMake profiles, enable the profiles you want to use. The available workflow presets are:
+   - `vc6` - Release build
+   - `vc6-debug` - Debug build
+   - `vc6-internal` - Internal build
+   - `vc6-profile` - Profile build
+
+   For detailed information about each build configuration and their specific purposes, see the [Build Configurations Overview](https://github.com/TheSuperHackers/GeneralsGameCode/wiki/build_configuration).
+
+## Step 3: Configuring the Installation Path
 
 1. In the target application options, do the following:
 
-- Set Program arguments with your favorite arguments,like `-win, -quickstart, -nologo`.
-- Set Working directory to the game directory.
-- Check the run as administrator option.
-- In 'Before launch' section, add a new 'install' step.
-- To avoid duplication build, remove the 'Build' step.
-- Save the configuration, and you are ready to build and run the project.
+   - Set **Program arguments** with your preferred command line arguments, such as `-win`, `-quickstart`, `-nologo`, etc.
+   - Set **Working directory** to the game directory.
+   - Check the **Run as administrator** option.
+   - In the **Before launch** section, add a new **install** step.
+   - To avoid duplicate builds, remove the **Build** step.
+   - Save the configuration, and you are ready to build and run the project.
 
 ## Step 4: Compiling and Running the Project
 
-1. Now, click the **Build** button in CLion, or click **Install** in build menu.
+1. Now, click the **Build** button in CLion, or click **Install** in the build menu.
 2. CLion will start the build/install process using the VC6 (x86) toolchain.
-3. Once the build is successfully completed, a executable file will be generated (and installed in the game directory).

 ## Notes

+- Working with VC6 requires some adjustments, so it’s a good idea to verify
   that the toolchain is working properly.
 - You can add Release and Debug profiles in CLion to build the project in
   different configurations.
-- Admin rights might be required to run VC6 tools, so make sure to run CLion as an administrator if needed.
