Part 1 discusses the standard MP buildings, the ones used by the maps on your renegade CD
Part 2 will discus the other buildings (those extras found in buildings.zip, including the 2-story ones)
This explains the different parts, what they are and where to get them in gmax format (for all bar the exteriors, w3d files are in always.dat)
first grab buildings.zip from ftp://ftp.westwood.com/pub/renegade/tools/BUILDINGS.ZIP
then grab my extras pack (stuff westwood left out of buildings.zip but which I converted with abjabs converter) from http://users.tpgi.com.au/jonwil/mpbld.zip
This is basicly a list of where to get gmax for each w3d file. It also mentions various bugs and stuff pertaining to the files. Unless mentioned below, all files are available from buildings.zip and dont have any problems. Its intended to show people where to go if they want to modify stuff or whatever. If you just want to use the buildings, you only need the exteriors. Any gmax that isnt specificly mentioned as comming from mpbld.zip is in buildings.zip
First, the refineries.
mgref_ext_n is availale as part of several building setup files but also as mgref_ext_n.gmax However mgref_ext_n.gmax is missing the proxy that pulls in mgref_ag_4 so if you use mgref_ext_n.gmax you will need to fix that.
mgref_doors_n is available as mgref_doors.gmax however that file contains extra proxies that need to be removed before its usefull.
mgref_int_n is available as mgref_int_temp.gmax however it contains extra stuff called "ls_stuff" in gmax that should be removed before use.
mgref_lt is in my mpbld.zip file as mgref_lt.gmax
mgref_mct is in my mpbld.zip file as mgref_mct.gmax
mnref_ext_n is availale as part of several building setup files but also as mnref_ext_n.gmax However mnref_ext_n.gmax is missing the proxy that pulls in mnref_ag_4 so if you use mnref_ext_n.gmax you will need to fix that.
mnref_int_n is available as mnref_int_temp.gmax
mnref_ag_3_n is actually called mnref_ag_3n.w3d and is available as mnref_ag_3n.gmax. There is a bug where many maps (including all the westwood standard ones) referenced this proxy as mnref_ag_3n. To fix this, you need to reference the proper mnref_ag_3_n proxy in your map. If there is ever any "fixed" preset pack released by someone, a good way to fix this is to create a new preset called mnref_ag_3n that has the exact same settings as mnref_ag_3_n.
mnref_vis is available as mnref_vis.gmax but it has too many planes, you have to remove some to make it work.
mnref_lt is in my mpbld.zip file as mnref_lt.gmax
mnref_mct is in my mpbld.zip file as mnref_mct.gmax

mnatr_mct is in my mpbld.zip file as mnatr_mct.gmax
mnatr_lts is in my mpbld.zip file as mnatr_lts.gmax
mnatr_ag_3n is referenced by the standard maps and stuff but doesnt actually exist as w3d or gmax. I dont even know what its supposed to be for.
mgwep_doors_n is available as mgwep_doors.gmax however that file contains extra proxies that need to be removed before its usefull.

mnhnd_doors is available as mnhnd_doors.gmax. there is also a mnhnd_doors_n.w3d file also built from mnhnd_doors.gmax but with an extra bone removed. This is the cause of the "phantom door at the top of the HON problem" people have reported, there is actually a door there you just cant see it. Its a bug, westwood actually wanted to use mnhnd_doors_n
