At least you need XCC mixer, Photoshop and the DDS plugin.

BTW, that's a good idea. I may start soon on customizing the HUD. w00t.

I used XCC Mixer since the beginning. Razz

I only use RenegadeEx for multiple extractions. Very Happy

But that's just my preference.

It's better for more than just preference reasons. From what I was told, XCC Mixer does not properly re-write the mix file if you edit it (it still "works" but the method it uses is flawed).

Just a question, but why would you need to recompile the MIX file when Ren reads from the Data folder just as quick?

First, you wouldnt need to put the hud in a .dds file, unless its a server side mod. Just place the new image directly into the data folder, the game wil use it instead of the default.

Second, i have spent more time in .dat and mix's than most here, i spent hours working with them for my TC tutorial, and overall RenegadeEX is better, doesnt crash all the time, has a better interface, just better.

RenegadeEx is a pile of crap. Having used XCC for years I am definitely behind Olaf's work. I do not like the idea of having to open each file manually just to figure out what's inside. XCC lets me browse DDS textures with their full resolution, Targa files, JPG files, BMP, etc.. Converts forward and back without problems and allows for quick insertion and extraction of files.

RenegadeEx is extremely limited and is only good for a few things. Kind of like Linux.

Uhhm, XCC mixer supports batch extraction.

Only because 98% of desktop computers in the world use the Windows platform, which believe it or not, does suck.

BUT you're right about RenegadeEx.

I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.

I tried it before, but it just extracts the single file that my cursor was over before I clicked to extract, eventhough the other files are also highlighted.
