====Cinematic Scene====

These are the Scenes that accompany things like moving in, growing up, first kiss, marriage, and having a baby.

this file type uses the Resource Collection format RCOL.

The file starts of with a standard RCOL header

If 1st 4 bytes of file are 01 00 FF FF the file starts like this: 4 01 00 FF FF 4 count repeat 16 group id, instance id, new id, type id of another file end repeat

Otherwise the file starts like this: 4 count repeat 12 group id, instance id, type id of another file end repeat

the file then continues like this: - - - - - - INDEX BLOCK - - - - - - 4 - Index Itemcount Repeat 4 Block ID The 1st one is always the type id of the file. 0x4D51F042 End Repeat

- - - - - - MAIN DATA BLOCK - - - - - - 1 - 16(0x0F) n - cCinematicScene 4 - 0x4D51F042 4 0x4 1 $len n cSGResource 8 0x0,x02 1 $len 1 file name 1 $len n file discription 4 number of objects in scene repeat 1 $len n discription of object 1 unknown I think its set to 0 if the object is optional to scene. 1 $len n object (buskel is baby, puskel is toddler, cuskel is child, auskel is teen or adult) 4 unknown 2 unknown 1 $len n $ CINE file to play with this scene 1 $len n $ ANIM file to play with this scene can have more than one file seperated by a comma end repeat 4 unknown 4 is a 2 if there are comma seperated ANIM files otherwise 1.

- - - - - - EXTENSION DATA BLOCKS - - - - - - - As far as I know there are never any other data blocks in this type of file. All of the CINE files that came with the game have only the one block. I left it in its more general form just in case Maxis releases ones that do in a later expansion pack.

I checked every CINE file that came with the game and this works for all of them.
