Black & White II was developed by Lionhead Studios and released for Microsoft Windows. The game uses .ter files to store terrain data needed to build its game environments.
The files are part of the game's installed data and are intended to be read by Black & White II rather than edited as standalone documents. Their contents work with the game's other data files when the game loads a world or scenario.
This is a proprietary format associated with the Windows release of Black & White II and is not a general-purpose terrain exchange format.
Open a .ter file by running Black & White II on Microsoft Windows. The game normally loads these files automatically from its installed data.
A .ter file is not intended to be opened as a document in a text editor or general-purpose application. Moving or editing the file may prevent the game from loading its terrain data.
The format is intended for the game's internal terrain data, so standard terrain conversion software may not support it.
