I'm just starting to dissect the game files for the original black and white, and I'm confused about the different kinds of files that store creature information, and was hoping someone could explain it to me.
I know there are .CBN files that are stored in B&W/Data/CTR. But what exactly do these contain? Are the CBN files just the sprites or do they also have the basic creature stats such as learning rate?
I know there are also creature mind files stored in Scripts/CreatureMind, but are these are just for loading prebuilt minds into creatures for skirmishes? And do creature mind files contain any info about which creature they are (rhino, bear, etc)?
I also found a creature mind file that I believe is mine named C4b17e2b0.erc. but there is another named PhysiqueC4b17e2b0.erc. Does anyone know the differences between these two files?
Also there is a dead link on the page http://www.bwfiles.com/home/help_minds.shtml that points to http://boards.bwgame.com/showthread.php?threadid=41752. I think that would be helpful if someone knows what that information is.
Lots of questions I know.
