How can I convert the graphics for the tanks and such to BMP or something like that so I can view them?
And do we have any tool to convert them back (so that I can change / make my own graphics)?
Thanks for any help

Welcome to the forums,
The graphic files used ingame openra are .shp format (used from the origional mix files)
the easiest way i've found to edit them is using OS SHP builder (which can extract them to other formats if you prefer)
you can find it here: http://www.moddb.com/downloads/os-shp-builder-336
and there are a few tuts here: http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/index.php? ... 0061e95704
also to extract the files from the .Mix files used by ra i'd recommend xcc tool's mixer.
you can d/l xcc tools here: http://xhp.xwis.net/utilities/XCC_Utilities.exe
The xcc tools also include other useful tools for modding c&c games
also these are what I use so others may use something different.
happy modding ,

When I goto View -> Pallet -> Select... there is no pallets to select from how dose that come?Sammyyyy wrote: ↑Hmm, thats probably the pallet setting.
Try going to view> pallet in xcc mixer and choose a couple of the red alert pallets until the shp is properly viewable.
Hope that helps,

(BTW I use Windows 7 and start with Administrator so that should not be the problem)
