How is this performed? I want to make a stone block with lots of cracks and deformations on it without having to do it with polygons.

I know you can do a lot more with a normal map, as you can specify X, Y and X coords compared to just depth in a bump-map, but do normal-maps lower the FPS more (than bump-maps) in Renegade?

Normal maps do lower the frame rate more than the bump maps applied in RenX. This becomes obvious at higher resolutions (on average computers that is).

Doesn't anyone know? Dont Get It I thought most of the Renegade 3D enthusiasts knew how to apply one.

For normal maps, you'd have to use shaders (can't make normal maps in RenX).
Follow this tutorial:

For bump maps, follow this tutorial on water, the same technique can be applied for other materials:

Your normal-mapped stank doesn't look any different from the normal Stealth Tank.

Look at circled area, the normal map is more obvious there:
