Common notes

• There are some file formats, that have alternative version:

  1. Fig files can be not only standart (FIG8 signature), but also unexplored differrent format. Looks like other format is old and not used in game.
  2. Adb file also have alternative version, where per animation data is shorter.

• Most textures are vertical flipped.

• Some models haven't linked with textures (neither in .mob, not in .db).

• Parts of one model not necessary lay in one folder.

• In Russian version of game all briefings audios are duplicated (in speech.res).

• In some cases, navigation graph is moved to external .grp file (normally it inside .mob).

• Mushrooms is a trees. And Tka-Rick is monster. (according to elements classification)
