As somone with a limited amount of time to invest in the level building process, I have found that having the origenal texture files of a game, or some other good existing library, to work with can let me get to the 'meat and potatoes' of actualy designing the level a lot more quickly. So, my questions are these:
Are the origenal game materials 'allowed' to be used publicly, ie, extracted from the sample level files and recycled? If so, is there a place where they can be got as a sepperate library, rather than drawn from the levels manualy?
Are there any great material libraries availabe from other folks for Renegade, if so, where?
On closer inspection, im not even sure if the material information can be extracted from the sample levels at all... [/edit]

Download XCC Mixer, and copy the texture files as Targas(.tga) and you can use them. Don't rename them, because if you do, you'll have to put your file in your mod package. As long as they have the original file names, the corresponding dxt file will be loaded in LevelEdit/Renegade. Also, I believe Westwood release a texture pack for use with Renegade, just do a little browsing and you'll find it.

Thanks much. Havnt found eather of those two things you metioned up to this point, but now i know what to look for, and that it does in fact exist, wich always helps.
Well, i found that application, and that should be handy, but I've had no luck locating an official texture or material pack. After an hour of sifting search engen results, my brain hurts, so Ill just ask: Anybody know where or if the texture pack can be found?[/edit]

With XCC Mixer, open up the always.dat file. It has a ton of textures. Also, I think Westwood had a texture zip package on the ftp site. Someone else may be able to expand on this.

also at Westwoods FTP site they have a alot of models, SP mission Building pack, MP building packs, Renegade Mod Art pack. Plus Dante has the secret extractor to get those models that are part of the background terrain, like the Tower Crane in SP mission 3.

here is the Model pack he put together. it has those metal flower defense posts you see on the WW MP maps. (and some bunkers)
