This article describes the most common file conversions that XCC Mixer can be used for.

Before reading, it is recommended to read the [[XCC_Mixer#Setting_up_mixer|setting up XCC Mixer]] tutorial.

'''Note:''' In the following examples, where PCX is used, other graphics formats such as JPEG, PNG, or TGA can generally be used with no difference.

== SHP > PCX ==

*Navigate the left panel to the SHP file you want to convert.
*Navigate the centre panel to the directory you want to place the converted file in.
*Select the correct palette for the SHP file.
**'''A)''' Right click on the SHP file and select "''Copy as PCX''".
***Each frame of the SHP will be placed in a separate file - first frame in {{Tt|filename 0000.pcx}}, the second - {{Tt|filename 0001.pcx}}, etc.
**'''B)''' Write down the SHP file's frame width/ height, and frame count. This will be necessary to convert it back.
**Right click on the SHP file and select "''Copy as PCX (single)''".
***All frames will be combined into a single PCX file.

== PCX > SHP ==

*Navigate the left panel to the PCX file(s) you want to convert.
*Navigate the centre panel to the destination directory. (Cannot be inside a mix file.)
***Select the correct end palette. (PCXs don't use a palette, so you won't see the result immediately. Refer to the [[Palette]]s article to see what palette should be used for what files.)
**'''A)''' If your PCX contains each frame in a separate file:
***Right click ''the first frame'' ({{Tt|filename 0000.pcx}}) and select "''Copy as SHP''", if you are creating a SHP for TD or RA, or "''Copy as SHP(TS)''", if you are making a SHP for TS/RA2.
**'''B)''' If your PCX contains all the frames in one file:
***Right click the PCX file, select "''Clipboard > Copy''".
***In the other panel, right click any filename (right clicking in an empty zone occasionally causes a crash), select "''Clipboard > Paste as SHP(TS)''". Note that there is no way to split it into a TD mode SHP file.
***It will prompt you for frame width, height, and count. You did write them down when you were asked to, didn't you?
****If you resized the PCXs, obviously you will need to recalculate the width/height.
*If the conversion failed, refer to the [[XCC Mixer Errors]] article.

== Copy As ==

A lot of other conversions are available inside XCC Mixer, they all are as simple as:
*Navigating the left panel to the source file(s).
*Navigating the centre panel to the destination directory. (Cannot be inside a mix file.)
*Right clicking on the source file(s) and selecting "''Copy as <desired format>''".

Supported conversions include:
*PAL to PAL(JASC)
*PCX to PAL
*PCX to PAL(JASC)
*HVA to CSV
*CSV to HVA
*VXL to PCX {{Fnl|1}}
*PCX to VXL
*AUD to WAV (PCM)
*WAV to AUD
*PCX to MAP(TS) Preview {{Fnl|2}}

{{Fn|1|The Mixer will generate a separate PCX for each slice of the voxel (sliced in parallel to the ingame ground surface). Naturally, [[normals]] and [[HVA#section|section]] data '''will be lost'''.}}

{{Fn|2|This generates a TXT file containing the textual representation of this PCX file. Replacing your map's [{{TTL|Preview}}] and [{{TTL|PreviewData}}] sections with this file's contents will display this PCX as a map preview.}}

== Conversion Options ==

=== Enable compression ===

(Applies to PCX > SHP)

If set, the generated SHP files will be compressed. This function should always be enabled '''except''' when editing the mouse cursors ({{Tt|mouse.shp/sha}}). In that case, it '''must''' be disabled.

=== Combine shadows ===

(Applies to SHP > PCX)

If enabled, the SHP's owner and shadow frames will be merged into one. For a SHP containing 6 frames, this will create a 3 frame PCX, frame 0000 combining 0 and 3, 0001 - 1 and 4, 0002 - 2 and 5.

=== Fix shadows ===

=== Split shadows ===

(Applies to PCX > SHP)

If enabled, the Mixer will add one empty frame for each PCX source frame. Those frames are used for object shadows.

=== Convert from TD ===
=== Convert from RA ===
=== Use for conversion ===
