nnt ([-e] filename)|(foldername)
nnt is a console tool that can be used to convert Close Combat 3 vehicle graphic images to and from TGA files. Vehicle graphic files are only present inside the tanks.zfx file. A vehicle graphic file can have any one of eight file extensions. Each vehicle graphic file contains 17 images. Refer to the file format document for more details.
To use nnt you must specify a CC3 vehicle graphic file name or a folder name containing 17 TGA files.
To view the contents of a vehicle graphic file just specify the file name.
To extract the images of a vehicle graphic file use -e option before the file name. Files will be stored in a sub folder of the same name as the file with the . in the extension replaced with an underscore chracter.
To rebuild a vehicle graphic file from a folder of 17 TGA files just specify the folder name. The name of the file will be the folder name with the underscore character replaced with a period.
nnt will overwrite all files without asking so be careful. If you use it how it is designed you should have no problems with it.
The strange output name format is to make changing those two points possible. Since the TGA format does not have space to store 2 points this really is the only method (even if it did not many paint programs let you edit the values). This method makes it very easy to change the point values and does not require me to write any tools.
##_x1_y1_x2_y2.tga ## = image index (zero padded number from 0 to 16 x1 = x value of the first point y1 = y value of the first point x2 = x value of the second point y2 = y value of the second point

To extract the files of the rT34e.nnt file into the folder rT34e_nnt:
> nnt -e rT34e.nnt Extracting 17 files from rT34e.nnt to rT34e_nnt
To re-create the rT34e.nnt from the rT34e_nnt folder:
> nnt rT34e_nnt Creating rT34e.nnt with 17 images from rT34e_nnt
Download nnt.zip and extract the nnt.exe file into a folder in your path.
