Responding to responses to an earlier post I did, how do I go about creating a
df3 file? I'm not crazy about woring with C/C++ and byte code. Can I just edit
some sort of text file?

Supposedly there is a program out there called df3maker and df3 viewer neither
of which I can find.

  No. A df3 is a binary file which can contain any byte value (between 0
and 255). Thus not very suitable for a text editor.

df3 is a binary format.
You can use tga2df3 to convert a list of tga images
(file01.tga,file02.tga, etc) into a df3 file

Windows binary... or source

The source for df3maker is at
