I had to bump this up again bc still having issues, I have the w3d viewer but how to get the files into w3d format?

Or if anyone has the files already in w3d format possible send them?

RenEx or XCC Mixer <- where get these (other then renhelp if theres any other sites)?

I could explain how to use 3dmax, but his method sounds better. And easier!

Ok, you have a few choices here.

1) Renegade public tools includes a utility called 'W3DView' which lets you view any W3D file in a 3d environment, although it's positioning tools are a little lacking (you can rotate and zoom on center, but not actually move it around the screen to get a better angle). If you dont feel like installing the entire public tools package give me a shout on xfire or msn (dannypepsipaul@ntlworld.com) and I will send you the files for the viewer only, which *should* work without needing the installer.

2) W3D Importer lets you import any W3D model into either 3DS Max versions 6, 7 or 8 (9 and 10 are not supported at all), or RenX.


To get the W3D files in the first place use either RenEx or XCC Mixer and extract them from always.dat. Personally I prefer RenEx because it does not take half an hour to load and has a simpler to use interface.

The W3D importers and RenEx are available from www.renhelp.net, which also has a bunch of tutorials on Renegade modding.

The ones you will want are;

One of
W3D Importer for Gmax
This allows you to import W3D files into RenX.

W3D Importer for 3d Studio Max
This allows you to import W3D files into 3ds Max 6 and above.

W3D Importer for 3d Studio Max
This allows you to import W3D files into 3d Studio Max 4-5.

And one of;
Renegade Ex
Use this tool to modify all renegade archives. (.mix, .pkg, .dat)

XCC Tools
Use this tool to modify all renegade archives. (.mix, .pkg, .dat)
(Renegade Ex is my preference here)

I guess this is right area to post this, what I'm trying to do is make a siggy showing animation or renegade with units and all just making the oricas, tanks and sh*t that looks as close as the game but with more details but the problem i went trough was what i was going to do was eyeball it to build close to what it supposed to look like and I'm having hard time with bottom part Image as shown here as one of my 1st and so far only model i made so far and wondering if theres a program out there to view or even export the model files from renegade so I'm able model easier. If you cannot understand what I'm trying to ask for maybe we can talk privately on ts or messangers

-Thanks Cronambs

PS - Please don't hijack this!!!
