what is a BWC fille ?

The BWC files are a custom file created by the milkshape plugin for editing the l3d files. When you open a creature-related l3d file, one of the options is to read informaiton from a creature's CBN file. If you select this option, the information will be read from the CBN and placed into a BWC 'script' file. This BWC file can then be edited to change some of the info in the creature's CBN file. The plugin menu has an option to compile the BWC script file into a new CBN file. One example of the way this can be used is to create a new CBN that uses l3d files with different names so that you don't have to overwrite the original l3d files (like use "A_NewTiger_Base.l3d as the name of the associated mesh files).
The BWC file is NOT part of the game itself. It is only used as a custom format by the plugin for editing a creature CBN file.
If you're having problems with creating new l3d files for the creature, it would probably be best to read through the readme file for the plugin, "L3D_Overview.txt". Realize that when the author says "checked off", they mean that it *should* be checked.
Here is one section from the plugin's documentation:
You will also want to generate a .BWC script. BWC files are a custom format
that go along with the MilkShape plug-ins, and are used for putting some of
the information in the .CBN files into human-readable form. They are text
files, and as such can be edited with your favorite text editor. To make
a .BWC script, check off the "Extract CBN info from..." box, and select
a .CBN file in the first edit field. If you have not already chosen a .BWC
filename, one will be chosen for you. Otherwise, you can select one
yourself.
