Introduction

The Collection resource is one of many resources found in a collection file. The collection file holds information about objects and groups them together, they are folders found in game via Collections. This page covers not only the COLL resource, but all the parts that make up a collection file.

  • 3IDR
  • BINX
  • COLL
  • IMG
  • STR#

The Instance value for the main 3IDR and the COLL are the same, possibly random number generation. Each 3IDR then has a consecutive Instance number with a matching BINX resource for each item added to the collection.
