So I am having trouble finding ways to pack up items into a .mix file just like the 'quake' pack that is being used for TT right now.

Does anyone know how to add models and objects such as images or sound to a mix file?

thanks!

That does work for making them, but I get a 'Failed to open input file 'E:\Westwood\RenegadeFDS\Server\H2PResources.mix'. Which are just .mp3's and .wavs (and the default format of 'Tiberian Sun Mix' so says the editor, theres no Renegade value either...)

with the Package Editor for TT

This.

But remember, when you delete files from a mix package, the file size won't decrease.

Add them into a preset's dependencies that's placed on the level then it'll export when you export the level.

(Assuming you are exporting it as an actual .mix)

Uhh, what tool are you using? When I delete files from a mix package using RenegadeEx the file size *does* decrease, as it should.

EDIT;
Also, as far as I know, under 4.0 the client will not cross-load textures or models from files other than the two .dat files and the mix file for the map being played, so a shared .mix for those probably won't be possible. Not sure if other resources can be shared in such a way....

They use to. Thats the problem with missing textures on fanmaps ect.

The cross loading also caused conflicts when two maps had different resources with the same filename, hence why it was disabled.

It still works.. sort of with sound files. SNDA and SNDP still have issues some times.
