Is there a way to make it so pkg files can not be opened by XCC mixer, RenegadeEx, and others. This information would be used for anti cheating purposes.

How would Renegade be able to open it then if other programms
are not able to do so ?

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"

Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life

Good Point.
What about make it so you could not export the files.

What people do with your files is purely their decision. You don't need to worry about it unless they start taking credit (you know like the way you thought you could get away ripping APB stuff?).

Anyway, unless you get the source code to these apps there's no point in doing so.

Anti-cheating purposes if you would have read the topic you would no this, when I release Renhalo, I don't want anyone to cheat in it. If I make it so you can't open the files you would have to recreate the objects file you self, and that would be quite impossible. I could care less if anyone took my stuff because people will know who actually made it.

Well you're pretty screwed there, since anyone can get into any file related to Ren and use it for their own purposes.

The best way to prevent cheating in renegade remains RenGuard. And it is easy to support any mod or TC. With the new version of RenGuard that is being developed, it will become even harder to defeat.

I am debating TC or PKG, PKG has its advantages, like you could just start Renegade and switch game mods instead of open up a complete different folder and restart the game (although I do have a really cool title screen planed if it does go that way). I would have to figure out how to set it up not to work with a cd and all sorts of stuff (probably would not be hard, but with collage approaching I might not have the time to make it a TC).
