Creating DF Components

Created by TJ13, 2002

Thank you for downloading this tutorial! I designed this to teach other Dark Forces editors how simple it can be to edit any kind of component. Please make sure you download the following tools if you don't already have them on your PC:

  • Wedit 3.20
  • BMP2DF
  • Microsoft Paint, Paint Shop Pro, or any kind of bitmap editing program.
  • Goldwave
  • GMID

    Once you are certain you have the above programs, click on any of the following components that interest you:

    WAX - standard, moving characters/objects in DF.

    FME - single-cell, non-moving objects, ammo, weapons, etc.

    BM - level textures, animated signs, etc.

    VOC - sound effects, ingame/cutscene character voices.

    GMD - game music.
