BSM Ripper / BSP Ripper
.mpak unpacking/packing software
Probably the single most important tool for any Battlestations modder. This program is used to extract (rip) and pack the contents of .mpak files. These files contain most of the files for the Battlestations games.

Notepad++
Text editor with script support
This is one of the MUST HAVE programs if you code scripts ranging from LUA to HTML and much more.
Without this program it is horribly difficult to modify Battlestations scripts due to the lengthy nature of these files. Notepad++ neatens everything up for you.

GIMP
Graphics editing software
A handy tool if you plan on doing textures for the more modern games as well as Battlestations.
GIMP 2.6.10 is highly recommended above GIMP 2.8 due to 2.8 being more unstable and less user friendly.
Download the .dds plugin in order to edit the .dds texture files from the Battlestations games.

Windows Movie Maker
Video editing software
Windows Movie Maker 2012 is a very simple yet powerful video editing software. This is what BSmodHQ used to create the trailers for mods. One example is the trailer for BSmodHQ update v.3.0 for BSP.

FMOD Ex Programmer’s API
.fsb export tool
The Soundbank Generator is an application bundled with this package. It is used to create the .fsb audio files for Battlestations (and many other games). I am providing a Mediafire link to this file, otherwise you will have to register on the FMOD site in order to download.

GameRanger
Online gaming service
Since the shutdown of the backend service for Battlestations Midway (GameSpy) it was impossible to play online vs other players. GameRanger changed that. Once again we are able to play BSM online.

K-lite Codec Pack Standard
Codec pack
Windows Media Player is not well known for supporting many file formats. With K-lite Codec Pack Installed you can virtually play any media file from within Windows Media Player. The Standard edition also comes with its own player called Media Player Classic which is also very good.
