Hello all! This is a thread for you to share & discuss all aspects related to modding the classic games. I will kick these things off by providing some basic resources and knowledge, though I don’t know that much compared to some others.
- The Glacier Tex Editor
This brand new Glacier TEX Editor recently released, and unlike the old one, it has texture previews! Extremely handy. You will quickly learn the basics of how to use it, what you can and cannot do.
- Model Exporters

This can also export Hitman Codename 47 textures, unlike the TEX editor.
- Hitman Audio Tools

- File Formats
ANM - Animations
DXT - Information about textures (C47)
LGT - Textures (C47)
SPK - Game archive: logic, scripting data, 3D data and so on.
TEX - Textures (H2:SA - Blood Money)
BIK - Videos (Contracts - Blood Money)
SMD - Extracted Models (Contracts - Blood Money. H2:SA?)
This is truly just the basics to get you started. There is a lot more information you may need to know and I will likely reply with some more information/existing mods soon. I also likely missed quite a few things. Feel free to discuss!
