*Tint.png | Specialized textures for defining adjustable color regions, like the kind used in character creation. |
.colormap | Each Tint.png has one of these (a simple text file) matching the color regions to their names. |
.mesh | Binary file containing the Ogre mesh |

.material | A text file with render information, often associated with icons. Player races and creatures used centralized materials defined elsewhere. |
