AssetExtractor only see's the .manifest files. In order to extrract/view the .manifest files you will need to use BinOpener.

lol?
Extract the bin/imp/manifest/relo/cdata files from the StaticStream.big with a big extractor. Then open the static_common.manifest with the Asset Extractor, choose the things you want to extract and click on Extract Sources.

I knew it was something like that Bibber Laughing

I was gonna say use BigEditor Beta5 but wasnt sure, It's been awhile since I've messed with it.

Big Editor Beta5 was only used shortly after the game came out. There are some way better tools since then.

well i have been able to extract some textures and models, i have the w3x importer but the only models that display in 3ds max are crapy weapons lol, does any of you know what files should i extrac if i want lets say the gdi commando? because there is a lot of files like containers, meshes, and hierachy, but i only need the mesh soo..

WWSkined meshes (infantry, mechs, many vehicles) require the hierarchies to import properly as the vertex positions are only saved relative to their parent bones, which are stored in the hierarchy.

thanks man but, please can you be more espesific obout how to import a model to 3ds max(i allready have w3x importer) should i place the hierachy files in the same folder like whit renegade bones and models? should i import the hierachy file first and then the wwskinmesh? please if you have the time explain this to me, cause the only things i can see when i import a file are just boxes.

Get the C&C W3D XML Asset Importer by Bibber & Asuka, load it in 3DS, hit "Import Hierarchical Model", select the hierarchy file then select the model file.

€dit: Sorry, wrong importer. Looking for the correct DL.

€dit: Use Katz's version of the importer.
