I tried to find buildings sprites in WBC3 XCR files but to no avail. IIRC in WBC1-2 they used to be in Terrain.xcr but here I can't find them there nor anywhere else.
Am I missing something?

Building sprites in WBC3 (and TPC) are in the assets/sides/racename.xcr. They are RLE files which start with BXXX.rle. You need a RLE to BMP converter to view them.

Thanks a lot. Hope XnView can cope with it.

Well, XnView can't cope with it .
So maybe you could magnanimously recommend some software to view and convert RLE format offline?
Thanks.

Have a look at the tools page on the wiki. The RLE viewer 0.01 is pretty good! https://etheria.fandom.com/wiki/Tool_Downloads
