CnC3 Cameos

Revolutionary · Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2009 3:24 pm Post subject: CnC3 Cameos

is there any way to extract the cameos from CnC3 and CnC3:KW or where are thay found?

i have tryed looking threw the big files with xcc for them but i have had no luck in findind them (i have been relying on file names, the 1 or 2 tga's that are shown and photo shop for opening the files i think may be them)

Thanks in advance Revolutionary

Use JonWil's SDK Extras, binviewer is the program you need but don't forget to have a look at the readme, you must first extract a couple of files.

You can use the SDK Extras to extract the FX textures, but the most important stuff of the FXs is in GlobalData\FXParticleSystem.xml.
I'd suggest you use a texteditor that has a proper search-in-files function like NotePad++ and then simply locate the FXs by brute force at first.

They're small.

And as to the original point of this topic, the cameos for TW are in the in-game UI pack. No need to extract them

http://www.cnc-source.com/forums/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=80

You can get the KW cameos (also includes all the TW cameos from the previous link I believe) here:
