I want to make my own texture (or skin, or whatever it's technically called) for the tank icons when you purchase a vehicle. Don't need anything professional or indeed presentable, hell, I'd be happy with MS Paint scrawled over the icons.

Could someone briefly explain how I'd go about that?

These icons are all in always.dat, extract them with renex and look
at their image size.


When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

renex = ? I did say "explain", not "rattle off some jargon and assume I'll know what you're talking about"

I'm not sure, but you probably have to save them as .dds format. You'll need Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop to save it in that format.

w00t?

all the icons are called hud_cnc_something, you can extract them with the XCC mixer (no need for renX).

yes you'll need photoshop or paint shop pro to save them as those programs contain options like interlace and what DXT format to use. add me to MSN and i'll send you it P2P, it's 160mb

I once tried to give the Nod engineer a cool black jacket and leather trousers, but it turned out horrible.

I didn't talk about renX. Renegade ex is like the XCC mixer, but its better.

How does replacing a skin work? When you make a new skin what program do you use? And when you place it in your data folder, does it have to be a certain name?

you can't make or replace a skin, they grow on animals and humans are born with them.

textures on the other hand; to make a texture you must use adobe's photoshop, jasc's paint shop pro or anything that can save a file in dds format. those two are good because you can make good looking textures with them as well as save them in dds.

to make a texture for a westwood model, you must first extract the texture from always.dat. you then open the texture in the appropriate package and modify the parts on it. when you change a part of it, like the arm or head, you only do one half. the game textures the other half with your first half texture.

I can get you Paint Shop Pro, which is what I use for all my skin editing. I also had a list someplace of all the hud_cnc* files... I'll see if I can find it.

Here...a step by step instructional on how to edit a texture from the renegade game.

First get a program called XCC Mixer. It can be found here:
http://commandandconquer.filefront.com/file/XCC_Mixer;31304

Extract it to anywhere. (I reccomend you make a folder for it to extract into.) Your desktop will do. Now run the XCC Mixer.exe file.

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1252012725

Give it a few minutes to load if it doesn't start up imeadiatly, It's scanning your hardrive. Go to the location #:/westwood/renegade/data assuming you installed renegade to the default directory.
Look for the file always.dat and double click it and give it a second to load if it doesn't load right away.

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1386325553

Now sort by file type and browes to the DDS format files. Look around in them. These are the majority of the texture files renegade uses. I'm just going to grab the pwr_pct_master.dds files. This is the screen the power plant uses on the purcashe terminals.

Now pull open the side bar:

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1266687302

Browes to where you want your file. I will choose C:/documents and settings/owner/desktop as mine. It will send it to my desktop. Right click and hit copy as TGA. It will be on your desktop now. Open it with photoshop or whatever you want and edit it however you want. After you are done save it as a 24-bit TGA file in your renegade/data folder.
You can save it as a DDS file if you have the nvidia DXT tools. TGA will work though. Make sure you save it as a 24-bit TGA file or the texture will appear all blurry and distorted in-game.

Congratulations! You have made your first renegade custom texture. If you have any problems email me at: DeathAX@hotmail.com

I used to have the blank PT icons somewhere, but now I can't find them. AGH! I can't believe I didn't upload them to my server.
