cataloging all of the files in the ra2.mix/ra2md.mix

gistop

So I just spent about an hour compiling a crap ton of files, but here they are, if this is popular enough I might continue to do it, but at the moment it's just absolute hell...
However, this should help... I have added a categorized listing for edited versions as well... Note: THIS IS WIP. NOT ALL THE MIXES HAVE BEEN DONE. IT'S ALSO ALL IMAGES, NO SOUNDS, NOTHING LIKE THAT

Sorry if I am missing something... but, what is the purpose of doing this? Why not dig them out of the mix files as needed?

Congratulations, you just reinvented the wheel and made it a square.

This is a step backwards to simply finding things with XCC Mixer, or rules.ini. It's good that you want to spend time & effort on stuff, but it's useless unless it actually improves the current system.

I could see this possibly being useful for an inexperienced modder who doesn't know his way through the mixes yet. I can't remember the last time I actually needed to dig in to the stock assets for any reason though, other than to cross-reference the original INI files (which is the one thing this ZIP doesn't include, interestingly enough).

That being said, I see no reason to chastise someone for at least trying to compile some assets into a way that might make more sense for some; it's not any worse than digging through the mixes. If it doesn't work for you, you obviously don't have to use it. It might be helpful for some though, and if that's the case, then all the more power to you.

this was done about 5 yrs ago and someone bitched that you are feeding them the info and they will not learn how to do it themselves. I don't the link.

IMO If I am making a mod I wouldn't need to add these to a mix file because it is already in the game. But, putting that aside you left out the voxels...... so I would say fail. The most edited stuff are the INI which are here (and once again people bitched)

It's not worth it IMO. Downloading a ton of files when you can start XCC mixer and get them from there. Saves space and time while digging through the files/using Windoes Search.

yup, I found out how the ctrl+F thing works, before I thought that it only searched within the .mix you're currently searching for

I could see this being good for newbies if you renamed each SHP file to what it actually was, for example: gacnstdm.shp gets renamed to "Arctic (Desert, Lunar, Urban, New Urb, or Temp) Allied Constuction Yard Destroy Anim (gacnstdm).shp". This way the use can actually use the Windows search function to find the file they are looking for by searching for the actual name that a person would say if they were talking to someone else.

Think of it this way, I'm not going to say, "Hey dude go build a gacnst so we can blow it up and see the gacnstdm animation!"

Interesting idea, but unfortunately that defeats the purpose somewhat. Those files would need to be renamed to something proper in order to actually be used in-game.
