Utilities

3D Ripper DX
Free model ripping tool made by Roman Lut, a.k.a hax. The tool can capture geometry, textures and shaders from DirectX 6/8/9.x renders. These captures can be imported into 3DS Max v5.0-9.0, 2009 and 2011. The export is in its own .3DR or Wavefront .OBJ format. The 3DR Plugin is imported during installation into 3dsMax. I have successfully ripped models from Medal Of Honor Pacific Assault, Boiling Point Road To Hell, Ghost Recon, Resident Evil 4?, STALKER and others.

Editor-v161
Software for creating and editing custom maps for the game Vietcong.

VCStarter_V1.7
Fixes common compatibility problems you may encounter when you play Vietcong on Windows Vista,7,8,10! Now comes with more useful features and visual tweaks like correct aspect ratio (field of view) for widescreens! Just drop the unpacked files into your Vietcong directory, replace all existing files, run VCStarterConfig.exe and set your preferences. All credit goes to Brchi.

Dxtex
A useful little tool for displaying DDS textures. These textures can also be displayed in XnView without installing a plugin. The advantage of this tool is that it will immediately show you the DDS type and the number of mipmaps.

Genvcscr22
Useful tool for generating VC scripts.

OGG Converter
A tool to convert music to the specific OGG format used by the game Vietcong.
