Hello everyone! I guess I'll be flooding this place with news about my tools, because I'm working fast, Today I've released the OS BIG Editor 0.5, which is the program that we should use to browse the .BIG files from C&C3 and previous C&C games and extract files from it. The ability to create and edit .BIG files will be added in a later version of the program, so be patient, but you'll still need FinalBIG to mod the game. This new version comes with the ability to preview the TGA files without requiring you to extract them and also allows the extraction of files through drag and drop, association of .BIG files with the program, among other features that makes the program quicker and more friendly for modders.

Support for this tool is available at the CnC Editing Tools forum at PPM (guest posting allowed).

You can download it at Project Perfect Mod. If you own a fan site, you can place this program on your site for download. If you wanna modify it, go ahead. But on both cases, make sure that I am credited for my efforts and that jonwil is credited for his RefPack Decompression code used in the program. Have fun!
