Well, Why don't you just use the xcc mixer then?
it does all you want, be it turn shp into png/tga/jpeg/pcx once you picked the correct palette from the list and then if you insist on bmp, use photoshop/psp and so on tools to change into bmp from the format you picked with mixer.

Just browse the mix files until you find what you want but i sure hope the other game is also isometric or those buildings will look wrong there.

I convert xxx.mix to xxx.shp, but i see any pixels mix not a just image! I convert its wrong images to jpg/pcx/png ... and i see only black square. What i did wrong?
Where I may pick a correct palette?

Just go View ---> Palet ---> Red Alert 2 ---> for palette list, with buildings unittem.pal is used generally.

Once the preview in right of xcc mixer screen showing shp is correct (meaning you picked correct palette), you can right click on the selected shp in the file list to decode it to chosen format.

MIX Files are archives, you enter them with xcc mixer by double clicking while SHP files are the sprites you want.

What game is that? makes me think of the german free game project...
