_collision and _col?

The name is pretty obvious, but what the heck are _collision-1 and _col-1 for? Are they for collision? If so, where do I put them? And why do I need more than one?
Thanks!
Thanks!

One denotes a collision marker to the DTS exporter the other is the actual collision geometry that it will use for that detail level. As Eric mentioned its all explained in the various DTS documentation that exists.

col-1 is the name of the first collision mesh in the shape. if you can multiple collision shapes they would be named col-2, col-3 etc. and would each need a corresponding collision marker (_collision-2, _collision-3, etc.)

_collision-1 is a collision marker, its geometry is ignored they just need to be named correctly and in the group base01. These tell the exporter what collision meshs exists in the DTS shape.col-1 is the name of the first collision mesh in the shape. if you can multiple collision shapes they would be named col-2, col-3 etc. and would each need a corresponding collision marker (_collision-2, _collision-3, etc.)
