Jp, there is no need to post wiki links here.
WinMerge for incorporating changes in files without bringing over everything in the new file.
TextPad is a great free text editing program.
I use Photoshop and those two for virtually all of my modding needs.
My favourite free little gizmo just for re-naming files, like getting portraits in number sequence adding .tga to .dds extensions or changing cultures in building tga names:
LupasRename
Glad someone started this subject it was on my to-do list as well. Could we get the program types divided by category, perhaps even into separate threads? As I think there might end up being a lot. I'd personally like to see paid for software included as well if possible together with vague indication of price and comments as to advantages if any.
I think it would be useful if at least the listings with some comments were transferred into the Wiki in the end as well. So poor old -apocalypsis- isn't necessarily lumbered for life with trying to update for every known bit of software. I think this forum, now we have it, should be really great though for feeding information in and discussing the pro's and con's of things - which isn't really suited to the Wiki.. (err, why does everyone else hate NotePad anyway?)
Visit Total War Center Wiki for:
Total War Mods - Modding Portal - Total War Series
M2TW Modding - Battle Map Buildings - Techtrees - worldpkgdesc
Rome Remastered Modding - New Campaign Map
IWTE functions for RR - Unit models in RR
I would say the Gamecam too, as an alternative to Fraps if necessary.
Gamecam
Keep the suggestions coming - I will try to put it in a better format once I have something to work with (and I am less busy than I am at the moment).

EDIT:

Link doesn't work for me either.
Weird.. i guess some random database glitch
