Looking for that wave motion but haven't found a solid lead at this time.

I am a bit confused about a file and trying to track it's history now.
Shapes.vol
File size in a DOS version is 279,558 bytes
File size in a CAOD version is 727,656 bytes
I suspect the first may be a compressed version or lower details on Models?

I checked the 2 patches available here at SubSim and none contain that change. Yes I opened the Resources.xxx files.

AOD Dos is running on my system but the CAOD is not at this time.

In the Subsim.exe, those shapes are listed with a .bmd extension.
BMD usually means Binary Model Data and there are bmd files in the Game folders.
